  • Anna and Dody are our latest Goldwell Master Colourists

    Congratulations to Anna Lazarou and Dody Constantinou, our latest Goldwell’s Master Colourists. Anna and Dody join the ranks of Salon Director Rachel, Senior Director Jaymie, Senior Stylist Viktorija and Senior Stylist Natasha - we now have an incredible amount of 6 Goldwell Master Colourists at Lazarou. Goldwell’s Master Colourist program is an intense 6-weeks training programme designed to elevate a stylist’s colour understanding and application in order to navigate even the trickiest colour obstacles. The programme was designed by a group of elite colourists focusing on turning a stylist's passion into the mastery of hair colour. Only a few stylists are able to complete the program every year and we are very proud to now have 6 Master Colourists in our Lazarou Cardiff Castle and Lazarou Talbot Green team. The 6 weeks programme focuses on: Hair Science and Consultation Demi and permanent hair colour mastery, Grey Coverage Hair Lightening Colour Correction and Colour Formulations Elumen Mastery Advanced Fashion Colouring and Model Workshop After their final assessment: (1) Anna Lazarou with educators Rachael Kelly and Brian Mccallum (2) The 2024 Master Colourist graduates with their educators (3) Dody Constantinou with educators Rachael Kelly and Brian Mccallum To celebrate the occasion, we asked Anna and Dody about their experience of the Master Colourist course: Lazarou: How would you describe your MCI journey? Anna: The Master Colourist course was the best thing I have ever done. It has made me excited about doing hair again! Dody: Intense but unforgettable! We got thrown into a whirlwind of workshops, presentations, and tests on Mondays and Tuesdays. Wednesday we went straight back to work to repeat the same process for 6 weeks. But you don’t learn without going through a little discomfort and at the same time I gained so much new knowledge and learned new techniques. We had a pair of fantastic educators in Rachael Kelly und Brian Mccallum and we were part of a great group of people. As hard as the MCI journey was, we had just as much fun on it. One of my highlights was definitely meeting hair goddess Beverly Cobella MBE. Lazarou: How will your newly gained knowledge affect the way you work as a colourist? Anna: The course has given me so much knowledge and completely changed how I look at colour and hair again. Goldwell is incredible, the sky really has no limit when it comes to colour, anything is possible. Dody: It changed the way I look at formulating colour from day one. I understand the product much better now and it also improved my application techniques. Lazarou: Which element stood out most for you during your MCI course? Anna: I am obsessed with the illumination side of the Goldwell colours - it is incredible how @pure pigments @illuminating colours can change hair colours within a sitting. Dody: Learning about grey coverage, the Elumen range and lightening in more detail definitely showed me new possibilities in creating bespoke colours. Lazarou: What was most enjoyable? Anna: I truly enjoyed every single moment. Brian and Rachael were incredible teachers, their knowledge is unbelievable and very inspiring. Dody: Spending the afternoon with Beverly C MBE and meeting everyone at Goldwell really stood out for me but really every moment was amazing. Lazarou: What's next for you? Anna: The experience definitely made me confident in achieving anything that comes my way. That actually motivated me to put myself out there more, I have just entered the UK Beauty Awards for Hair Extensionist of the year. Dody: I will implement all I have learned into my work from day one and I am excited to help educate our younger team members, who are new to colour. At the same time I am excited to get back into competitions like Colour Zoom this year. (1) The Goldwell Master Colourist Team: Graduates and trainers Rachael Kelly and Brian Mccallum (2) Anna and Dody passed their final test with flying colours (3) Dody meeting his idol Beverly C MBE By successfully completing this program, Anna and Dody showcased their exceptional proficiency in colour services, ensuring that our Lazarou clients receive unparalleled expertise and personalised attention.

  • These are the Hair Colour Trends of 2024

    “In 2024, hair colours will be defined by their laid-back sophistication and subtle dimensions. Bold, statement colours will make way for subtle, yet shiny hues that blend naturally. It's the sophistication of these blends and the perfect matching of hair colour tones that will make hair colours stand out this year,” says Andreas Lazarou, Managing Director of Lazarou Hair Salons & Hair Extensions Cardiff Castle. This year Cherry Cola will take centre stage, an evolution of last year’s red and ginger trend, but with a deeper, richer twist. This shade is a luxurious blend between deep auburn and wine red, which demands regular top-up and gloss sessions to maintain its full, scarlet glory. This year we are also seeing the nostalgic return of Caramel Highlights, inspired by the iconic look of Jennifer Lopez in the early 2000s. This time, however, they are softer, more natural, and embody a lived-in quality that conveys effortless elegance. Buttery Blonde is set to shine brightly in 2024, taking inspiration from Margot Robbie's portrayal in Barbie. This trend offers a golden, dimensional, and naturally radiant blonde tone. Bronde is a sophisticated fusion of brown and blonde, championed by celebrities like Suki Waterhouse. Bronde will be enhanced using a half-head balayage technique to ensure a naturally seamless transition. Reminiscent of last year’s expensive brunette trend, brown shades are taking on more nuanced expressions in 2024. Mushroom Brown and Hot Cocoa Brunette offer a fresh take on brown hues, with Mushroom Brown presenting a muted, ashy option ideal for the cooler months. In 2024 mushroom brown will take the shade of a neutral taupe with golden tones. Hot Cocoa Brunette adds a warm, multidimensional twist to the classic brunette. Enriched with subtle red pigments it achieve a glossy finish, reminiscent of last year's expensive brunette trend. Chestnut Brown - a rich, golden brown shade - finds its unique position between blond and black, incorporating elements of auburn, gold, and chocolate for a multidimensional look. Inky Espresso, a deep, dark brown that stops just shy of black, brings a profound intensity to the hair colour trends of 2024, as seen on celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Simone Ashley. Jet Brunette innovates with darker roots and mid-lengths, transitioning to ashy brunette ends for a subtle, dimensional effect. Red hair colour shades will continue to be popular in 2024, impressing with their versatility. Golden Copper blends strawberry blonde and copper for an amber-glowing, natural ginger shade. Speaking of golden, The Golden Glow is a 2024 trend in itself that is all about a subtle, soft glaze that comes alive in natural light. Pecan Red introduces a shiny auburn touch to brunette hair, creating a warm tone that beautifully complements pale skin. A late entry in 2023, Cowgirl Copper continues to make waves in 2024. Its vibrant mix is perfectly positioned between mid-brown and copper, suitable for a wide range of skin tones and eye colours, as forecasted by Evo artist Tom Smith. Complementing these colour trends, Lived-in Balayages and Ribbon Lights emerge as key colouring techniques, focusing on low-maintenance, dimensional looks that celebrate natural beauty and effortless style. As we embrace the hair colour trends of 2024, creativity, personal expression, and a return to natural beauty are clearly at the heart of this year's aesthetic. Are you still on the hunt for your ideal hair colour in 2024 or not sure which hair colour trend suits you?

  • 2024 Haircut Trends: Reviving Retro, Reimagining Classics, and Simplifying Style

    Welcome to 2024, where hair trends are a wonderful fusion of retro revival, natural textures, and low-maintenance styles. At Lazarou, we're all about embracing these trends and making them yours as “Your Hair is Our Care”. So, let's dive in! 1. The Mini Bob: A Bold Statement This year, we're seeing a resurgence of the mini bob, a daring style that ranges from cheekbone to jawline length. It is versatile and perfect for those who love to experiment. Think blunt cuts softened with waves or a sleek, polished look. It is a versatile look to be styled with blunt cuts or softened with waves and curls, making it a perfect choice for various occasions. 2. Flutter with Style: The Butterfly Bob The butterfly bob is a current twist on the classic bob. The hairstyle is all about layers and movement, similar to the fluttering wings of a butterfly. The hairstyle is romantic and playful, with heavy layers and shorter pieces framing the face. 3. The Stevie: Boho Vibes Paying homage to the 70s rock icon Stevie Nicks, "The Stevie" is a softer, more bohemian version of the classic seventies shag cut. Think long, flowing layers with a less structured feel allow for a laid-back vibe. 4. Chic and Sleek: The Kitty Cut From last year’s trending butterfly cut or wolf cut, the Kitty Cut is set to be one of the biggest haircut trends of 2024: The Kitty Haircut is a sleeker, sophisticated style with layers that creates a feline silhouette. It is all about soft layers that gently fall around the shoulders create a polished yet feminine look. The haircut is elegant, refined and a modern update on the shoulder-grazing bob. 5. Cosmic Beauty: Lunar Harmony Hair 2024 introduces a unique trend: Lunar Harmony Hair. This style synchronises haircuts and hair colours with the lunar phases for stronger, shinier, healthier hair. This trends suggests to be more than a style, it is an experience that blends cosmic timing with personal expression. As the trend unfolds, we are happy to report more throughout 2024. 6. Modern Halo Cut: Angelic Dimension The Halo Cut adds a unique twist to the classic bob. By cutting the hair shorter around the crown, it creates a halo-like effect, adding both dimension and texture to the hair. 7. The Bixie Cut: Edgy yet Feminine Can't decide between a pixie and a bob? The Bixie Cut is your answer. This artful style combines short, textured pieces at the back with longer, face-framing layers at the front. 8. Retro Revival: Iconic 2024 Haircuts The Retro Revival of 2023 is here to stay for 2024. This year is all about nostalgic throwbacks with a modern twist. The Shag Haircut, Modern Mullet, Textured Bob, and Curtain Bangs are all enjoying their moment in the spotlight. Each style is being reinvented with a contemporary edge, making them perfect for those who appreciate a bit of a retro charm. 2024 is a year of diverse hair trends, blending past and present, simplicity with sophistication, and personal style with cultural nostalgia. Whether you are opting for a Butterfly Bob or prefer the understated elegance of the Kitty Cut, there is something for everyone this year. Embrace these trends and find the one that speaks to you! Our stylists also offer personalised consultation in case you haven't decided which hair trend is the right one for you. We cannot wait to see you soon!
