While our December calendar may be packed full of parties galore, November is packed full of essential beauty maintenance. No self respecting style queen would ever enter December without making sure all the basics are in place... Manicure? Check. Eyebrows? Check. Wax? Check. The list has endless possibilities...

No matter how long the list, the phrase that refers to a woman's hair as her 'crowning glory' is sadly very true - we say sadly, because most of us spend on our hair the near equivalent of a Marc by Marc Jacobs dress - every month. Of course, most of us will probably spend that much on one or two new party dresses, but the compliments a new outfit normally generates will make maxing our credit card worthwhile... With hair however, it's normally a case of nobody noticing when it has just been done, but everybody noticing when it hasn't!

Thanks goodness then for Headmasters, who until November 29 are offering half price on all colour. Whether you tint, gloss or simply highlight, Headmasters will take fifty per cent off your colour bill. Add a blow dry on top, and you're party ready. Close to Vogue House, the salon has attracted many a Vogue employee in its time, with stylist from the salon's Art Team responsible for the hair on many a shoot for the magazine itself, not to mention Project Runway, Britain's Next Top Model, to name a few...

It's good enough for the fashion bible, and it's half price, so book your colour appointment at Headmasters today by calling 020 7408 1000.
