LUC ESPACE Review!

Wow!
Okay so, I briefly mentioned in one of my recent posts that I've been in the process of going blonde! And I promised I'd do a review of the salon which I go to, Luc Espace.

So, Luc Espace is the "sister" salon to PReMA, which also used to be called Luc Espace but recently changed it's name. It's located in Chatswood, and like PReMA, the front of the salon is easily recognisable for its earthy, elemental feel.


As per usual, I am ushered inside straight away where I'm given a black robe and my jacket and bag are put into a cupboard. I was told this time, my 3rd visit and final full head of foils, that I would be receiving a complimentary Detox for my hair, so I was taken to the sinks where Aaron and Peter proceeded to scrub and clean my hair, then wrapping it in clingfilm and putting it under heat for 5 minutes.


After this, my hair is quite matted and knotty, so they condition it then brush it out, which takes a fair amount of time, effort, and jokes! I have so so much hair, I'm used to it getting messy after a wash!


My colourist, Michelle, then sits and chats with me about what I want. I explain that I just want to brighten my hair some more, but I'm quite happy with the colour. So she explains that she'll put more of the same coloured foils in as last time, but focus on brightening the ends rather than the roots as I prefer to have the roots slightly darker so they integrate with my regrowth a bit better.

The foiling process takes an absolute age, and I constantly hear "wow you have SO much hair!" from Michelle! It takes nearly 40 minutes to get the full head, maybe a bit more, then I'm left waiting for 30 minutes before my hair is rinsed, conditioned, brushed (again!) and blowdried.

When I got home my sister insisted on curling my hair with my new GHD:
This is the most accurate representation of the colour at the moment. The bottom photo was taken the day after, I washed it and let it dry in a plait, it's still a bit damp here:


Anyway I hope you enjoyed my post! I absolutely LOVE the Luc Espace team, and I love how my hair looks and feels after I visit them!

I'm booked in for a quarter head of foils in December, but I can't decide whether or not I should go lighter.....Suggestions??

Also - I've put a few things on eBay recently, it would mean a lot if you'd take a look! Thanks :)
