Look out for our completely new Smoothing/ Straightening service which has brilliant results and more safeguards than most of the others on the market I will keep you posted ! It should be with us in a couple of weeks with huge discounts on your first booking.

Ron Noades made some very valid comments on the lack of forsight from the council especially regarding parking, there are less parking spaces on the High Street than before the changes and in their wisdom they decided to put two bays for electric vehicles (how many of you have an electric car or even seen one) and then opposite they have two bays for loading! Now we don’t know whether we can park in these bays because THEY haven’t told us, do you think they are doing this on purpose to get more revenue? So, anyway, I intend to park there at every opportunity to see whether they issue me with a ticket whereupon I will go to court, if they persue it, and fight it vigorously, because it is just ridiculous in these times to persecute us shopkeepers even more than they have already.

Ah but maybe there is an ulterior motive! Perhaps they really want to kill off what little business there is in Purley Town then they can turn all the retail shops into residential council property to fill them with the ever increasing masses. THINK ABOUT IT !!

But certainly contact us we’ve been around for a long time and we are still cutting it! We may be exactly what your looking for.

New Beginnings

In September 11 we put our year long plan into action and completely refurbished the entire shoptront and facia at our Caterham Salon, it was not before time as the old one had certainly had seen better days, quaint as it was, probably circa 19th century, it had to come out, with its little Victorian windows it resembled something out of a Dickens novel, a bit like the Partners, anyway the results were amazing and the feedback from Clients and locals was very positive. Robert and myself designed it in keeping with our Purley Salon and it seems to fit in well with the general aura of the Caterham Valley shops. The works were carried out by local craftsmen, as we like to encourage new business in the area, and the two young Joiners were brilliant and completed it over one weekend .

This year we are intending to do the same with our landmark Salon at 2, High St. Purley , this is a much bigger and challenging project as the shopfront has three facias being on the corner of the high st. and Whytecliffe rd., now that the contractors have finished the pavement areas around Purley , we are hoping to complete this by the end of July all being well. We have been in Purley at the same site for over 35 years and had three brand new shopfronts the weather on the corner were we are situated is very punishing so its sorely needed. Robert and I never sit still as there is always something that needs replacing or refurbishing  through general wear and tear, again its a bit like ourselves but we both still cherish the challenge as in business if you sit still the waves will wash over you ! Watch this space.

Keune Hair Products

At Touché we had been looking for a new colour that had everything we needed, i.e. a great colour range, little or no fade, condition, shine, but most importantly a product that didn’t have the nasties that have been in the news lately known as PPD’s – which had been known to have severe reactions with some Clients.

By luck a hairdresser friend introduced us to a company called Keune.  They have range of hair products, are based in Holland, have been in existence for over 50 years in Europe, but had never ventured into the UK.

We worked with them for several months, alongside the ranges we were using, and realised this was what we were looking for - not just the Colour, but a whole range of shampoos, conditioners and aftercare products that are amazing.

We love it , and so do our Clients, the feedback has been fantastic.  We have been in business for over 35 years and we have probably tried every professional range on the market, but Keune’s product range has surpassed everything else.  They provide simply amazing results and we have received great feedback on the take home products.  The price is extremely competitive, as the products are very concentrated, so you actually use very little every time you open a bottle or tube.

We would like everyone to try it, so from the 9th Jan through to the beginning of March we are giving 40% OFF Keune colour with hopefully a new Haircut for the new year.  Try out the exclusive range of aftercare products which are all on sale at Touché Salons.

Do something different in 2012 and visit us at Touché to experience Keune.
