A Healthier, Happier New Year

Looking Forward To Wellness in 2024 at Karen Wright Salon in Thornton Heath, Croydon

At Karen Wright Hair Salon in Thornton Heath, Croydon, the health of your hair, alongside your wellbeing, is paramount to us.

This is why we take extra care to use products that are both friendly to animals and the environment, and strive to create an environment that our clients love to visit. This January, we are looking at the ways in which we can all make conscious changes to our lives to feel happier and healthier, both in body and mind...

1. Using Sustainable Beauty Products

At Karen Wright Hair Salon, we are passionate about using environmentally responsible products wherever possible and the Davines products that we use reflect that. The products are free from harmful parabens, sulphates and PDP. They use zero fossil gasses to create the products, which are completely carbon neutral.

Davines is a non profitable company that cares about the environment, investing profits back into sustainable projects throughout the world. They also use 40% LESS PLASTIC than any other beauty brand.

“By creating beauty sustainably, we encourage people to take care of themselves, of the environment in which they live & work, of the things they love.”

2. Creating a 5* Client Experience

Creating a welcoming, friendly and professional environment for our clients is a top priority in our salon, we know that for many clients it may be the only time they have seen a friendly face or had a conversation in some time. Your experience therefore, alongside enjoying a fabulous hair service, should be warm, fun and relaxing. 

Our stylists are highly trained to create the hair colour and styles that you love, we will listen to your needs and work with you to create your ideal look.

We love a good chat and hope that you feel you can discuss anything with us - our conversations are always more interesting than "so where are you off on holiday then?"!

3. Veganuary - Plant Based Beauty at Top Croydon Salon

Whether you are a committed vegan all year round, or exploring how plant based living could work for you this month, we have good news! Many of the Davines products we use in the salon are vegan, meaning that you can enjoy healthy, beautiful hair with a clear conscience.

Ask your Karen Wright stylist about which products are vegan and therefore suitable for you to use. You can even order Davines products in our online shop here. 

4. Move More, Feel Better

Not only does exercise help us to look our best by raising our metabolism, but it also helps us to feel our best by increasing serotonin. Serotonin is a hormone from the endorphin family that enhances positive moods and put a smile on our faces.

As little as 10 minutes can have a significant benefit to help you feel good, such as a quick walk at lunchtime. Once we have built stamina we could increase the exercise but it's important not to push too hard simply because of the "New Year, New Me" belief!

Perhaps you could join with a friend for a walk, the conversation and fresh air will make you feel great!

5. Drink More Water

We know this is something you'll have heard often, but drinking enough water is important to look and feel our best, and so simple to do!

Water regulates body temperature, so the body and organs can function properly. Being well hydrated keeps joints lubricated, helps to prevent infections and delivers nutrients to the working body/muscle cells and helps your hair to look and feel softer and more manageable. 

When we are well hydrated, we see improvements in sleep quality, concentration, performance, and focus. It helps maintain levels of feel-good hormones and can help to reduce depression and anxiety, enhance calmness, and promote a positive mood. Add fresh fruit slices for taste and aim for 6-8 glasses of water per day.
