5pm Staff New Year New Look: Jennifer
To bring in 2015, we’ve given three of our 5pm staff members a new year new look. Our second staff makeover is Jennifer Aryanmanesh, our Spa & Beauty Customer Care Advisor.
Turning 30 can do strange things to people.
It’s a long way from a mid life crisis. But it still feels like a milestone, a farewell to the proper daftness of youth.
Our Jennifer reaches this milestone in September. So with the remaining months she had, she wanted to do something a bit outrageous with her twenties hair.
She’s worn her hair long, blonde and flowing for years so she decided January was the perfect time for a change.
“I haven’t dyed dyed my hair any other colour apart from blonde,” Jennifer said.
“I’m turning 30 this year so if I’m going to do something different I think now is the perfect time. I want to do something crazy while I’m still young!”
Kennedy + Co
We sent Jennifer along to Kennedy + Co in Partick to meet stylist Shannon and decide what that crazy thing would be.
Shannon may be young but she has been at Kennedy + Co for three and a half years and continuously attends training courses and receives hairdresser qualifications, most recently from Toni & Guy.
As Jennifer had never strayed from blonde before, they decided to go completely off kilter – with purple.
Purple and balayage hair
“At first we dyed Jennifer’s hair lavender but it didn’t really show up so we decided to go for a darker purple,” Shannon said. “When it washes it will go a lighter lavender and she’ll get longer out of it.”
“We lightened up her blonde as well with a semi permanent colour so when her roots come back they will blend in better.”
“It’s a sort of ombre, balayage affect on the top. Balayage has become really popular recently too and I love doing the free paining style. It’s really artistic.”
Verdict
So what’s Jennifer’s verdict?
“I love it!” she said.
“It’s an easy way to inject a bit of fun into my look. and I’ll love looking down and seeing my favourite colour every day.
“And I know then when the purple fades I’ll be left with lovely natural highlights.”
“It looks amazing. The perfect statement to finish my twenties.”
