Meet Haidee: A New Stylist Joins Our Salon

A woman with long brown hair and subtle makeup gazes straight at the camera. She is indoors, with a bed, cushions, and a radiator visible in the background.

There is a new name in the Macadamia diary. Haidee has joined the team after years running her own salon in London, and she is taking bookings now, with £10 off in the first half of October.

Your Holiday Hair Recovery Plan

A woman with long, frizzy brown hair gazes down and softly holds a lock of her hair, seemingly pondering post-holiday hair care. She is wearing a white vest and is indoors with a blurred background behind her.

Here’s what actually happened to your hair while you were away, how to tell how bad the damage is, and the recovery plan we’d genuinely recommend, rather than the one that sells the most product.

Soft, Smooth and Summer-Ready

Every Six Weeks? Every Twelve? How Often You Should Really Get a Trim

A person with wet hair is having their hair cut; a hand trims the hair in a straight line at the back using scissors and a blue comb, much like how a bespoke facial adapts treatments to personal requirements.

It’s one of the most common questions we get asked at Macadamia Hair Spa, and also one of the most misunderstood: how often should you actually be getting a haircut? The honest answer isn’t a single number that applies to everyone. It depends on your hair type, your style, your goals and a few other factors most people never think to consider. Here’s the real, practical answer.

The Facial That’s Built Around You

The word “facial” gets thrown around a lot in the beauty world, but not all facials are the same. A bespoke facial treatment is something quite different from a standard off-the-shelf skin treatment, and once you understand what’s actually involved, it’s easy to see why so many clients at Macadamia Hair Spa in Widnes consider it one of their favourite appointments in the calendar. Here’s everything you need to know, from what happens during the treatment to why your skin type makes all the difference.
