I don’t know about you but I’ve never cared for flying. It used to be a phobia and I’d lose sleep the night before and wake up sweating, then leave for the airport armed with a hip flask and, at the time, a Sony Walkman, both of which I hoped would take my mind of things.

Made no difference. I still hated every minute I was in that plane.

These days the phobia has gone but I still get a little queasy if there is the least bit of turbulence however, what’s just as bad is the whole experience especially going through security at the airport.

The security Aargh!
I accept that it has to happen but what a hassle. And of course, the whole thing about not being able to take liquids on board which in turn forces you to plan the contents of your entire toilet bag.

Of course you can pack the bigger items inside your shoes and other little nooks and crannies before checking in your luggage but wouldn’t it just be so much more convenient to have travel friendly sizes!

Well at last manufacturers are listening and, for shorter trips or for easiness ‘Fly friendly’ travel packs are the answer. Kerastase and Shu Umera have now launched limited edition packs for travelling, check out the attached pictures.

Of course they’re dead handy if you’ve never tried any of these two ranges, you can buy a travel pack, sample and appreciate the difference they make. Once you have these smaller sizes you can, after their empty, refill from a bigger size so that you can use them time and time again.

You’ll notice too that they come in a clear plastic zipped pouch which satisfies the official line. You can even pop in one or two other items so they virtually become a toilet or make up bag.

So there you have it, I’ve offered a solution for the trials and tribulations of transporting hair cosmetics but unfortunately not an answer for fear of flying.

You can find limited edition travel packs in both of our salons. For Shu Umera they come in only one type, that’s Full Shimmer shampoo, Conditioner and Masque this will suit any hair type that’s coloured (a pack costs £25). Oh, and I almost forgot , you’ll also receive a FREE sample  of Essence Absolou natural oil which is terrific for absolutely any hair type.

In the Kerastase packs you’ll receive two products, a shampoo and a masque, and there’s a wide choice. For curly, wavy or rebellious hair - Oleo Relax Bain and Masque. For dry hair - Satin Bath 2 and masque.  To enhance shine on coloured especially highlighted hair - Bain Chroma Riche and Chroma Riche Masque. For lightened or weakened hair - Bain de Force. All of these Kerastase packs are an incredible £13.50.

Now remember these are truly LIMITED edition packs and once these are gone we can’t get our hands on anymore.

Finally, if you PRINT OFF this blog and hand it in when you purchase any travel pack we’ll give  a FREE  Kerastase room fragrance to the first TEN people who purchase from this communication.

Magnificent, thank you for reading, I’ll write or speak on the video blog real soon.

What a quiet day it’s been for a Tuesday and it’s not because we were short of clients it’s because we were down 4 stylists in our Tolbooth Street salon!

Certainly Jen was on holiday but the other 3 were out on assignments, which will ultimately benefit the whole team.

You see Liza and Amber were in London.

Liza Cumming was presenting to an audience
of invited hairdressers at the L’Oreal International Academy.

Amber Bell is making her way home today, Wednesday; she was part of the team who were styling the hair for the London Graduate Show at Wembley.

I’ll update you on their experiences on their return.

Oh and I almost forgot. Megan Dales and Denise Sharp from the Whytehouse salon are on the second stage of their Kerastase Ambassador course. They’ve returned today, Wednesday, and I need to calm them down, they are buzzin’.
So if anyone out there has a hair or scalp problem pop in and see them and they’ll be happy to give you a FREE scalp and hair analysis.

Megan’s at Tolbooth and Denise is at Whytehouse.

I’ll get back to you with more information once I’ve sat down with them all ,and I’ll let them spill the beans and report back to all of you in the ‘Migele Experience’ community.
