CURRENTLY PINNED | RED + BLUE
Funny how certain colours seem to find you at exactly the right time.
This week, apparently, it’s red + blue.
Sea blues, washed-out denim, flashes of cherry red, vintage sportswear, sculptural silver and a little coastal nostalgia.
Could just be what we’re drawn to right now.
Or maybe Newcastle has quietly taken over the mood board this week. ❤️💙
Either way, we’re not mad about it.
Currently pinned. Things inspiring us this week.

A LITTLE SCALP RESET 🫧
You know that feeling when your hair just feels a bit… blah?
Maybe there’s been a little too much dry shampoo, styling product, oil, or you’ve stretched wash day one day too far. We’ve all been there.
That’s when we reach for Solu.
The Sea Salt Scrub gives the scalp a really satisfying deep clean, while Solu Shampoo helps clear away build-up and leaves your hair feeling fresh, light and actually clean again.
We love using Solu as part of our scalp rituals in salon, but it’s also such a good one to have at home when your usual wash just isn’t quite cutting it.
Basically, a reset button for your hair + scalp.
Using at Crysalis 🤍
Ask us about Solu next time you’re in. We’ll happily help you figure out if it’s right for your hair.

CRYSALIS MUSE | RHIANNON
Proof that good colour should still look this good between appointments 🤍
Rhiannon’s colour and haircut were originally created by Liam. Soft, creamy blonde with enough dimension left through the hair to keep it natural, lived-in and easy as it grows.
This photo was actually taken when she popped back in with Lana for a little maintenance appointment. A fringe trim, fresh blowdry and she was good to go again.
And this is a big part of the way we approach hair at Crysalis.
We’re not only thinking about how your hair looks when you walk out after the big appointment. We’re thinking about the weeks afterwards too. How it grows, how you manage it at home and what smaller appointments might keep everything feeling good without starting again every time.
Your hair plan should work around your real life.

CRYSALIS IN MOTION | LANA
Lana and her signature wet moulded curly set ✨ Sculpted and defined from wet, then left to soften out beautifully as it’s worn.
The result is curls with shape, movement and longevity that only get better over the next few days.
For the curls, Lana used Davines Curl Enhancing Milk + Curl Moisturising Cream + OI Oil.
For the fringe, Dry Shampoo + Medium Hold Spray to create lift, shape and help it stay exactly where she wants it.
A little old-school setting technique, made modern.
Save this one for your next wash day 🤍
29/09/2026
Short, undone and made to be lived in. A soft, textured shape by Lana, designed to move naturally and look just as good air-dried as it does styled.
Easy, effortless, wash-and-wear hair with plenty of personality.
