CHAMPAGNE and cakes were enjoyed by guests invited to Vital Salon this weekend.

Lisa and Ella, employees at Vital, offered guests a wash and blow-dry, as well as some key hair care and colour advice.

Vital is one of the only salons in Taunton to offer a colour bar, where they have a face-to-face conversation with their clients about face shape, skin tone and the length of time between each hair appointment, to choose the perfect hair colour.

Nicholas Martin, owner of Vital Salon, explains: “So many people walk around with the wrong hair colour.

“When people have visited the colour bar, they have a ‘high heel moment’ as we call it – they stand taller and look more confident. You would be surprised that your hair colour can make such a difference.”

At Vital, all the staff are colour experts and Nick believes it is important to offer advice and chat to clients to ensure their hair enhances their natural beauty.
