We love our current website but we've got some much going on nowasdays - from You Tube vidoes to photoshoots, Facebook pages, Twitter feeds and blog articles that we need a way to suck all that info into our website so that you never miss athing!

Sooo, as of mid/end February we'll have a brand new webiste. We're working with our social media and digital agency Coup Media to create a beautiful, action pacvked site that will really showcase everything we do at Burlesque - and all in 1 place. We can't wait. Watch this space :)

Here's a sneak peak of our initial designs...

If you find a trip to the salon even that little bit stressful, then once again it's Burlesque to the rescue. Because every Thursaday and Saturday, we're offering clients an Indian Head Massage before your appointment. 

For those of you who aren't sure what that means... Indian head massage is based on the ayurvedic system of healing which has been practiced in India for over a thousand years. It provides relaxation and healing on a daily basis, and traditionally plays a part in rituals such as weddings and births, (not to mention everyday events like a trip to the barber). So book in for a Thursday or Saturday and experience the power of relaxation!

Every month we're going to post a new video showing you how to create a style you might have seen and loved but didn't know where to start. And with Valentine's Day fast approaching we're serving up two for you to choose from for the big day... and night ;)

But make sure you check back on our Facebook page to tell us what styles you like us to film next.

Enjoy xx

You've seen the building site, now take a look at the finished article! We finally opened our newly rennovated salon floor last month with a fab opening evening. Take a look at the images below to see where it started and how it finished!

We'll use the top floor for you guys and girls, for our growing training arm, to shoot monthly demo videos and loads more, not to mention our Sunday openings (10-4 every Sunday from Feb 5)!

So pop in and take a look for yourselves. We're really proud that we can grow - especially during these tough times - and we'd like to thank our customers for the continued support.

It's a busy start to the year for us and we need your help. We will once again enter some of the industry's most prestigious awards ceremonies in 2012 and we are shooting the new collection in February to form our 2012 entries.

Previous years have taken us to London, Paris and Las Vegas to compete on the Global stage and we expect 2012 to bring more of the same. We'll once again work with the world renowned John Rawson, one of the hair industries best photographers and you have the chance to be a part of all this.

How? Here's how...

Head to our Facebook Page today and post a headshot of yourself to our wall. Tell us your name, age and leave us your email address so that we can get in touch.

If you fit the bill we'll ask you into our Newport salon for a casting on Wednesday January 11th at 7pm (yes, next week so you better move fast)!

If we find the right look, the right personality and the right attitude then we'll take two of you to London on either February 6th or 7th to take part in our John Rawson photoshoot. 

Your shots could adorn any number of hair and style magazines, and could form the centre piece of our entries into competitions like The British Hairdresser's Award.

Just to give you a feel for how big this could be, we've had similar shots covered in magazines right throughout the UK and Europe in the past and we're aiming for more of the same this year so get your shots posted to our Facebook pages asap!

We know how busy everyone is and how hard it can be to find time for you - or more specifically for your hair! That's why, from Sunday February 5th were opening on Sundays - every Sunday - from 10am until 4pm.

You can start booking at any or our salons TODAY! Just head to our website, pick a salon and give us a call. Of course you can book yourself in any time, but if Sunday's your one day of rest, treat yourself to a litlle Burlesqu pampering!

See you soon!

We know how busy you all are - and never moreso than at Christmas. We also know that looking ream (!) for the party season is almost as important as Christmas shopping. So how do we fit it all in? Two words... Sunday opening!

Yep from next week, we'll be open on Sundays from 10am - 4pm. Sooo just to be clear, we'll be open on Sunday 11 December and Sunday 18 December from 10-4pm.

See you there?! xx

Everything Joico

How'd you fancy being the face of Burlesque?? Because we're looking for male and female models between ages 17-25 who live within a 20 mile radius of Newport, Caerleon or Usk.

You'll need to be photogenic, commercially fashionable (trendy)! and willing to get invoved and building your portfolio.

On our part, we'll offer... 

• Copies of all your shots for your portfolio, (including shots by John Rawson, the world renowned hair/fashion photographer, The British Hairdressing Awards and other national prestigious competitions)
• Free hairdressing for the duration of your involvement with us
• Extensive travel as a competition model (in the past we have been to London, Las Vegas and Paris as awards finalists)
• Possible appearances in live hair demo's (optional)

Does this sound like something you could do? Great, just join us on facebook for more details and we'll let you know when we're starting our castings.

We all know that Christmas is coming and we're probably all behind with our preparations. Well before you rush out to the shops or online to make that panic purchase, save yourself hassle - and possibly the cold shoulder with one of our gift cards.

Available from £5 to £20 and in all 3 salons (Newport, Caerleon and Usk), you know they'll get used and they fit snuggly into a Christmas card so you'll kill two birds with one stone. 

So tick at least one person off the list next time you're in the salon by asking one of the team for a Burlesque gift card :)

Christmas. Done!
