RUSH HAIR
AT HAYWARDS HEATH
Since its very first salon opening Rush Hair has been at the forefront of
hair design, with an award-winning artistic team, cutting edge techniques
and its own dedicated Rush Training Academy.
One of the things that sets Rush aside is its academy. Not content with
an all too common industry approach of just training apprentices, Rush
incorporates training and development across its whole team, giving us,
the clients at the end of the scissors, well-trained, confident hairstylists
who are always at the forefront of new cutting and colouring technique.
So of course it was with much excitement that I arrived at Rush’s newest
addition, store 69 no less, the brand spanking new salon in Haywards
Heath, which opened its doors on 5th September.
After a couple of hours of slicing and snipping, a bit of balayage (which in
case you missed it, is the current go-to colour technique, which is having
a major comeback due to its ability to create softer natural looks with less
regrowth lines) and some impressive blow drying and lastly some sleek
simple wand curls, my hair experience was done!
They say first impressions count and here everyone was great – the glossy
black tiles, sleek bucket chairs and chrome glass shelves displaying the
range of Redken, Loreal and Kerastase products, presented an image
as sleek as the blow drys. The salon itself has been skillfully designed to
produce dedicated client stations making the most use of light and space.
To some well-received oohs and ahhs I left the salon swishing my curls
and indeed with my hair confidence restored.
Thrust into the capable hands of salon manager Ruth, who, unfazed
by the hotpotch colour and lack of decent cut that my unruly barnet
presented, was quick to recommend colours that would prevent the
dreaded fade that has happened all to often in the past, as well as a
dying technique that would make the most of tone and clarity.

So settled in my bucket chair, mag in-hand and making the most of the
Lindor chocs that came with the variety of beverage options available,
Ruth worked her magic… and gave me a chance to hear more about
just why the Rush concept is great for both staff and of course their all
important clients.
