“We Won Best Salon In The FREAKING UK 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳”
So yes that ridiculously HUGE picture of a ridiculously happy face is needed lol lol
With immense pride, I would like to shout from the rooftops that we have been awarded the title of the best hair salon in the UNITED KINGDOM. This award follows behind winning best hair salon and best customer service in Kent’s second year in a row.
The award came as a compleat shock as we hadn’t entered to win the award. So although I respect whoever nominated us the right to remain anonymous, I would like to let you know (hopefully you read this) that I am genuinely grateful that you put us forward. Winning this coming out of the worst two years of my life was more than amazing. May you be blessed as we have been.
I would also like to thank each and every team member who has ever worked here. Whether it be a day or a lifetime, you have helped us get to where we are now. Your energy and dedication have carried the business through. Thank you.
To every client, whether you visited us once or 100 times, Thank you for giving us your custom and allowing us to build a business. Thank you for the years of laughter and tears as we all navigated this wonderful life together.
We’ve seen marriages, divorces, babies growing in tummies, births, birthdays, graduations, new homes, and sadly even deaths. Together we have shared so much and, at times, held so much in too.
To my kids who have given up so much, Holidays away, time with me, and so much more. Thank you for the support and happiness you bring to my life. Neither of you ever moaned, not once. You genuinely are the best kids I could have been blessed with.
Seventeen beautiful years of dedication and passion have led us to today, and the pride that forces a tear up and out as I type this has been there with me just like an old friend every day.
The following 17 years will see us grow even more as we soon move into a new obsession. There are exciting plans ahead, and I can’t wait to share them with you all.
For now, just like a good old cliffhanger, I shall leave you on the edge of your seats… But rest assured, we are planning something very special for you all.
See you all in the chair soon.
Much Love
Jen

Balayage is a hair coloring technique that has been gaining popularity in recent years. It is a French word that means “to sweep.” Balayage is done by hand, and it involves sweeping the color onto the hair instead of applying it in stripes or patches. This gives a more natural look than other hair coloring techniques. If you are considering getting balayage done, read on to learn everything you need to know about this popular coloring technique!
Balayage is a great option for those who want to add some color to their hair without going for a drastic change. It can be used to add highlights or lowlights, and it can be as subtle or as dramatic as you want. The best part about balayage is that it grows out naturally, so you don’t have to worry about those pesky roots! If you’re ready to try balayage, make sure to find a qualified stylist who has experience with this technique. Now that you know everything there is to know about balayage, what are you waiting for? Go out and get your color on!
There are many different ways to sweep the colour onto the hair so finding a stylist who is not only trained in the technique but also the texture and fabric of hair is optimal to get a great result. Some Balayage is done inside a foil and others with a clay like lighter that forms a hardened shell around the hair incubating the lifting within. Your stylist will need to assess your hair and other contributing factors like the temperature on the day, the fabric of your hair and the desire outcome to choose which method and then painting pattern they want to work with. Balayage can be done in any colour and in any length hair making it a great service for everyone.
One things for sure when opting for a Balayage instead of normal foils you can spread your hairdressing visits out longer which makes it super purse friendly. You can also just have a little touch up around the face with a lovely face frame lifting your sprits, lightening your face and making you feel like you’ve just had a whole revamp. Yes it really is that good. Look out for our blog on face frames coming soon.
If you really don’t know if a Balayage is for you then book a consultation with us at Obsessions salon and have a chat with one of the team. All have been on 3-5 different Balayage courses in the last 2 years.
We love a Balayage and we hope you will too.
Until next month
Much Love

Ramsgate Hairdressers getting ready to Re-Open
THE NEW OBSESSION
the new obsessions.
This year the world has been turned upside down because of COVID- 19 business everywhere have sadly had to shut their doors, workers have had to stay home and unsure if they will ever go back to normal again.
We have all had a good lesson washing our hands and the importance of slowing down.
It’s been a wonderful time for self-love, getting to know the people you live with, finding ourselves and coming together in a time we were told to stay apart.
Our lives are changing.
What’s the new Obsession going to look like?
The BIG question on everyone’s lips is: what will obsessions salon in Ramsgate be like after COVID-19 and will my salon experience change?
So I can tell you that Jennifer and Chloe will be leading us into the new obsessions experience and as scary as it may sound it’s also a very exciting one too.
They are working hard to keep the obsessions experience as calm and luxurious as we have all come to expect and love.
Over the last few weeks, Chloe and I have both become barbicide certified which is a really important part of keeping obsessions salon clean and sanitary, following governments guidelines and in keeping with our already high standards of salon cleanliness.
When will you be open again?
At my time of writing this, we at obsessions salon in Ramsgate are working to governments guidelines and hoping to reopen doors as a team on 4th July independence day which is very apt don’t you think? 🙂
Governments guidelines state that we may only be allowed a limited number of people in the salon at any one time. We may have to work different shifts and have different start and finish times but we are waiting for clarification on this at the moment.
What will be the new protocol?
We will also have an empty station in between each stylist so that you will be the two meters apart from any other guests in the salon.
We will be strictly only allowing you the guest in to have your hair done alone, no children, husbands or friends may attend with you to your appointment.
We will be wearing aprons, gloves and face masks for your protection as well as our own. (not looking forward to that one lol) Please feel free to wear your own face mask to your appointment if it makes you feel more comfortable and safe we will also have facemasks for our guests on-site at our sanitisation station.
Jennifer is going to be leading our front of house and is setting up a sanitation station near reception for you to use when you come in for your appointment. It will be located directly as you enter the door to your right and will have hand gel, masks and single-use bags for you to pop your coat into minimising touchpoints and cross-contamination.
Shampoo Area?
There will be a screen put up at the wash house area since we can not move or change the arrangements there.
We also have our recyclable towels for single use at the wash house which we already use and are very effective at helping to keep a hygienic environment. We will also be using a new gown for each guest reduce any cross infection.
How will services look?
For our guests on a long session such as a colour service we will definatly be serving bottled water but are waiting to find out about hot drinks. Our issue lies in keeping the team 2 meters apart which just can not happen in our team room where the drinks are made. Please feel free to bring your own magazines or reading devices for your visits, we wont be providing them as they are a touch point that cant be cleaned.
We are all so lucky that Jennifer and Chloe will be leading us through this new experience to maintain our much-loved salon experience but also to make it a more enjoyable and safe one too.
I look forward to seeing you all in the new obsessions salon Ramsgate very soon

We’re about to make a lot of changes soon, and we know that affects you.
Progress rarely happens without a few stumbles, but we hope you know how important you are to us. Your feedback would go a long way to ensuring we get this right in providing the best customer experience possible, even during times of a great change.
I hope that this message finds you well and with limited damage to you, your loved ones and your work situation I know it has been harrowing for many.
Rumours
With the return of the personal care sector hopefully scheduled for the 4th July we hold our fingers and our toes crossed that we will be seeing you again very soon.
The recent rumours that we will be open by the 15th June are at the time of typing just that, rumours and we will let you all know as soon as we do I promise.
As soon as the light turns green Chloe and I will be calling you all personally. Getting appointments in for you and talking you through our new protocol.
We may be allowed to open up the front retail part of the salon on the 15th June which we are hoping for as this will enable us to get you all in for skin test’s making colour appointments hassle-free.
So what next?
To enable the navigation of this ship out of troubled waters so to speak it is crucial to get this right for you as a client and for us as a business and that the hair, care, emotional and health needs are met for you all and for my team.
At the date of writing this Blog, none of my team have contracted the virus and I intend to keep it that way moving out of lockdown.
While there any many things to consider around PPE, social distancing and touchpoints I also have a firm eye on making sure your personal needs are met when we see each other again.
Can you help me?
I would like to ask for just 10mins of your time to answer just a few questions in a short survey that was sent via email, Help me understand what needs I’m needing to meet for You and all our guests at obsessions salon so that I can continue to give you the high levels of service in a safe way.
If you can spare that time for me please click on the link in the email, answer the survey and add any additional comments.
This survey is totally anonymous and will be only handled by myself but please leave your name in the comments box if you have needs that you would like met so I can personally arrange that for you.
Jennifers new role
I will personally be stepping into the role of reservations manager at reception for the first few months to run the business from the front line, make sure we have a smooth opening and transition back into the new normal.
As always I’m wishing you all the Love and light in the world and look forward to your safe return into our chair.
Much Love
Jen
