Farewell to Craig Hughan

It’s the end of an era here at Ryder.

Known around these parts as “Hotdog”,  Craig is moving to Prague to be with his fiance Lucie to begin the next chapter of his life. He has been part of Ryder for nearly 10 years now, initially as a stylist and for the last 5 years as a partner.  We pay tribute to him here as he  has played a huge role in Ryder’s success  and we thank him sincerely for that. But as they say, there is nothing surer than change itself.   We are very sad to see  Craig  go but of course,  happy to see him embrace his new life.  We’re sure you will all join with us in wishing him all the happiness in the world.  We’re sure  going to miss you buddy!  You’ll have to come back one day to finally get that Mustang finished!

For those of you who are now left without your favourite hairdresser, we would love to carry on Craig’s great work.  Contact our reception for a recommendation to another Ryder stylist.

GOLDWELL COLOR ZOOM CHALLENGE 2010 

We are very pleased to announce that 4 young Ryder stylists make up 4 of the 5 finalists in the Goldwell Color Zoom Challenge 2010,  New Talent category for New Zealand.  Our salon colour partner,  Goldwell hold  a global cut and colour competition each year. Entrants compete in 1 of 2 categories - New Talent or Global Creative in  each country for  the right to represent their country at the global final.  Which is being held in Paris this year.  Basically,  Goldwell come up with a master trend each year and entrants must follow this brief but put their own interpretation on the trend. This year the trend is “Just Naked” which heralds a much more naturalistic approach to cut and colour. Just what we like!

For many of our finalists, it was their first ever shoot.  They all have under 5 years hairdressing experience. They will all be in Sydney on July 18 for the announcement of the winners from Australia and New Zealand. The winners then fly to Paris with their models in October for the Global Final.  We are really proud of these guy’s and our fingers are crossed.  Go you good things!

MOROCCANOIL

 We announce that we are now stocking MOROCCANOIL.

This product is a unique, ultra-light, non-greasy formula of Argan Oil that seals in shine, producing a silky result on all hair types.

During testing we were amazed at how the hair would absorb a product that is an oil.

A few drops are applied to hair after shampooing and conditioning and it can:

- Soften thick and unmanageable hair

- Restore shine and softness to dull, lifeless hair

- Strengthen brittle hair

- Protect against UV damage and other environmental factors

- Reduce drying time

Richard Kavanagh Curling Tongs

Wave, curl and gentle natural textures are big trends in hair at the moment. Sometimes, to get these types of textures working in hair we need to step away from blow-dryers and diffusers and pick up some tongs. With that, we announce that we are now stocking the Richard Kavanagh range of curling tongs.  Developed in New Zealand by well known hair identity Richard Kavanagh, these tongs come in 4 sizes,  are digital, ceramic coated and heat up very fast. On your next visit,  ask us to show you how to use them on your hair.
