Yes. The Cosmetologists are official authorised UK stockists of ghd, Kérastase, Olaplex, Color WOW, Moroccanoil, milk_shake, K18 Biomimetic Hairscience, REF Stockholm and Echo Hair Extensions. Every product we sell is 100% genuine, sourced directly from official brand distributors. All ghd products include full UK manufacturer warranty.

Do you offer free UK delivery?

Yes. We offer free fast UK delivery on all orders over £50. Orders are dispatched promptly from our Hull salon at 499 Anlaby Road, Kingston upon Hull, HU3 6DT. Standard delivery is available on all orders under £50.

What types of hair extensions do you sell?

We sell a full range of 100% human hair extensions from Echo, including Russian Remy weft, Virgin Remy, Pure Brazilian, European weft, nano tip, tape in and clip in hair extensions. All are available in a wide range of shades from 12 to 26 inches. Use our free Hair Extension Match Finder to find your perfect match.

What is the difference between nano tip and tape in hair extensions?

Nano tip extensions use tiny keratin bonds attached strand by strand, making them virtually invisible and ideal for fine hair. They typically last 3 to 5 months. Tape in extensions use adhesive wefts that sandwich sections of natural hair for a flatter, faster application and need repositioning every 6 to 8 weeks. Both methods use 100% real human hair and can be curled, straightened and washed like natural hair.

How do I know which Olaplex products I need?

The best starting point for most people is Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector used weekly as a pre-shampoo treatment, with No.4 shampoo and No.5 conditioner for every wash. If your hair is severely bleached or damaged, add No.0 before your No.3 treatment. For styling, No.6 Bond Smoother controls frizz and No.7 Bonding Oil adds shine and heat protection.

Are your ghd products genuine and covered by warranty?

Yes. As official authorised ghd stockists, every ghd tool we sell is 100% genuine and comes with the full UK manufacturer warranty. Buying ghd from unauthorised sellers risks receiving a counterfeit product that will not deliver results and will not be covered by warranty.

Where is The Cosmetologists salon located?

Our salon and retail store is located at 499 Anlaby Road, Kingston upon Hull, HU3 6DT. You can visit us in store, call us on 01482 692703 or email info@thecosmetologists.co.uk. We also offer Click and Collect for online orders.

Can I use Olaplex, K18 and Kérastase together?

Yes. Many of our customers combine all three brands as part of their routine. A popular professional combination is using the K18 Molecular Repair Mask for rapid structural repair, maintaining with Olaplex No.4 and No.5 every wash, and using a Kérastase treatment mask weekly for nourishment and shine. There are no ingredient conflicts between the three brands.

Spring Has Sprung

Posted By Damon Simpson on March 2024

Spring Has Sprung and So Should Your Hair Care Routine!

Spring is a time of renewal, and that includes your hair! After a harsh winter of dry air and cold winds, your locks might be feeling a bit dull and lifeless. But fear not, with a few tweaks to your hair care routine and some amazing products, you can have your hair bouncing with springy shine in no time.

Moisture Me Up!

Spring brings warmer weather, but also more humidity. This can lead to frizz for some hair types and dryness for others. The key is to find the right balance of moisture.

Deep Condition: Spring is the perfect time to give your hair some extra TLC with a deep conditioner or hair mask. Look for ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, or avocado oil, which are all great for hydration. Aim for a weekly deep conditioning treatment, especially if your hair is feeling brittle.
Lightweight Conditioner: Swap out your heavy winter conditioner for a lighter version. This will help prevent weighed-down hair while still providing essential moisture.
Leave-in Conditioner: A leave-in conditioner is a great way to add extra moisture and manageability throughout the day.

Fight Frizz

Frizz is a common enemy in the spring months. Here are some tips to keep it at bay:

Anti-Frizz Products: Look for shampoos, conditioners, and styling products that contain ingredients like keratin or argan oil, which can help smooth the hair cuticle and reduce frizz.
Embrace Leave-in Treatments: Leave-in serums and creams can help to coat the hair shaft and prevent frizz caused by humidity.
Tame the Mane: Detangling your hair gently with a wide-tooth comb while it's wet can help prevent breakage and frizz.

Spring Hair, Don't Care

Spring is a great time to experiment with new hairstyles! Here are some product recommendations to achieve some popular looks:

Beachy Waves: For that effortless, surfer-girl look, use a sea salt spray to add texture and volume.
Sleek and Straight: If you prefer a sleek, straight style, an anti-frizz serum and a flat iron will be your best friends.
Bouncy Curls: For curly hair, a curl-defining cream or gel will help to enhance your natural curl pattern and keep frizz at bay.
