Summer is coming! We can feel the air getting warmer, the nights getting longer and the water is looking more inviting that ever. After a rough year where we seem to have spent so much time indoors, we can’t wait to be spending more time in the great outdoors, enjoying the sunshine. Here our award-winning team of Paddington hair artisans give you our top tips on what you can do now to get summer ready.
The Murphy Gozzard team are dedicated to creating unique looks. We don’t create styles dictated by gender or age or follow any of the typical rules, we create bespoke looks for the individual to allow every client to shine. We love to embrace those who don’t follow the crowd and love to experiment. And when it comes to making a statement with hair, there aren’t many more dramatic changes than the buzz cut! Here are a few pics of some of our favourite cuts to give you a little bit more inspiration to take the plunge..
With all that we have been through this year, there is a sense of change in the air including personal style. There will always be a place for a sleek ponytail and an elaborate artistic updo, but as we also head into warmer weather, it’s the relaxed and easy styles that have us feeling creative. The looks that feel effortless and give you the confidence to show your true self. Here our team have picked their favourite professional products to create the relaxed styles you are loving.
The Murphy Gozzard Hair Community is truly that - a hair community. More than just a salon we are focused on making every client look and feel their most fabulous. Every time you walk through the door you will be treated as royalty as you sit back and enjoy your well-deserved pampering. With such a difficult and challenging 2020, we have never been more appreciative of your support for our small business. Here we share some of the most recent beautiful words from our beautiful MG friends.
Everyone has something about their hair. That specific thing that others might love but you know that the grass isn’t always greener! Murphy Gozzard say it’s time to love the hair you have, and our award-winning team of hairdressers have scoured the salon for the very best, cult favourite products that help to maintain your dream hair outside the salon.
An incredible salon experience is our ultimate goal here at Murphy Gozzard. We pride ourselves on providing a truly unique appointment, based around our artisan skills and genuine love of our hair community and we strive to create an environment which fosters a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for each and every individual. Here we suggest a few ways to ensure you always get your best cut, colour and style at a new salon, whether it is with us or elsewhere.
Here at Murphy Gozzard we consider ourselves truly lucky to have such an amazing team, clientele and, our often unsung heroes - our partners. When it comes to placing products on the Murphy Gozzard shelves and basins, to say we are picky is a huge understatement. When we created the salon we knew only the highest quality products would do, the ones that we all wanted to use on ourselves and only those. Here we share our beautiful brands and why we love them.
Here at Murphy Gozzard, we know that we are lucky to have the chance to provide much more than ‘just’ hairdressing. Our goal is to connect with our clients to make them look and feel amazing, while making sure they take some time for themselves. Recently we saw the perfect example of just how much human interaction is involved in the simple process of a cut, colour or style thanks to a beautiful thank you letter to a hairdresser.
With winter well and truly here, it’s time to up your hair care pampering both inside and outside of the salon. While an appointment for us to take care of you should always be your first port of call, there are also some amazing products that you can have in your hair tool kit at home to see you through the coming months. Here our award-winning Murphy Gozzard team highlight a few of our favourite products.
As we start to return to ‘normal’, we are so excited to continue to welcome so many of you back into our home. After so long in isolation we know that lots of you are looking to do something new. Get a fresh look and feel to see out the rest of 2020. Here the team at Murphy Gozzard share a few MG colour tips before you head in for your fresh start.
With so many of us spending so much more time at home, there’s never been a better time to get experimenting with at home styling than now! It’s not about heading out to show off your style, it’s about taking some time for yourself, getting creative and having fun experimenting your hair! Here, the Murphy Gozzard team share their cult favourite styling products that will have all your at home needs covered.
At Murphy Gozzard we have always placed the utmost importance on creating and cultivating our hair community. For our team, our salon is so much more than a space to create hair. It is a means to connect with those we love and offers us an opportunity to give back in a valuable and thoughtful way. Watching so many families struggle with the challenges presented by Covid-19 has been difficult for us all and we have been looking at ways in which we can help.
Thinking about the most effective way for us to support those in need whilst also giving our clients the chance to become involved led us to the incredible organisation Foodbank Australia and the opportunity to donate to their current Food Drive.
The latest Foodbank Hunger Report revealed that one in five Australians have experienced food insecurity at some point in the last 12 months. This means that for 21% of Australia’s population, there has been at least one time in the last year when they didn’t have enough food for themselves or their family and could not afford to buy more food. It’s hard to believe this is happening in the ‘lucky country’, where we produce enough food for 60 million people.
Foodbank is Australia’s largest food relief organisation, operating on a scale that makes it crucial to the work of the front-line charities that are feeding vulnerable Australians. Foodbank provides 77 million meals a year (210,000 meals a day) to more than 2,400 charities around the country, accounting for over 70% of all food received by charities from food rescue organisations.
With families struggling more than ever before thanks to loss of work, access to services and support, the simple act of donating basic goods has never been more powerful.
The Murphy Gozzard Hair Community is currently collecting donations of the following products;
· BOTTLED WATER
· UHT MILK
· CEREAL
· SOAP
· PASTA & PASTA SAUCE
· TINNED FOOD & MEALS WITH RING PULLS
· PERSONAL CARE
· SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER
· SANITARY ITEMS
· DEODORANT
· BODYWASH
· BABY FOOD & FORMULA
· PET FOOD
We encourage all our clients to consider bringing some of these items on your next visit into the salon so we can collect enough essentials to truly help those who need it most. A simple gesture that may just mean the world to someone.
Whilst Murphy Gozzard are available to provide you with our trademark one-on-one services, we know that some of you will be focusing on self-isolating for the foreseeable future. Our team has pulled together a list of some of their favourite treatment products available through our home delivery service, providing you with your favourite products to enjoy in the comfort of your homes.
A big heartfelt hello to our Murphy Gozzard community.
Firstly, we hope that you are all OK during these challenging times and looking after yourselves and your loved ones. It certainly has given us the opportunity to focus on what’s important, but we can’t tell you how much we have been missing seeing your smiling faces and enjoying a hug and chat.
Whilst the Federal Government continued to allow hairdressing salons to open we made the decision to close the salon to reflect the importance of the situation and for the safety of both staff and clients, we are now looking to the future and are able to announce Murphy Gozzard is reopening with appointments available upon request.
Fortunately, as the curve continues to flatten, and Covid-19 cases continue to stabilise, we are now confident to let you know that we are once again seeing clients as part of our soft opening approach. Safety and hygiene are still of the utmost importance and our team are continuing to take unprecedented measures to ensure the wellbeing of our beloved community.
At this stage we are committed to having a MAXIMUM OF THREE CLIENTS IN THE SALON AT ANY ONE TIME WITH ONLY THREE HAIRDRESSERS ON THE FLOOR.
We are also leaving 30 MINUTES IN BETWEEN EACH CLIENT TO THOROUGHLY CLEAN AND STERILISE THE SALON AND EQUIPMENT.
During this time, you will be able to access both the Bretts, Elena, Christina, Clare and Tamara with each available on various days and times during the day. Unfortunately, no late nights at this stage.
We are working very hard at the moment to contact everyone and to make sure we look after those with cancelled bookings as well as those with existing bookings as a priority.
Also, we would like to assure you that to ensure we are looking after our loyal clients, like yourself, first and foremost, we will not be taking on any new clients at this time.
The best way to ensure we are able to look after you is to provide us with an expression of interest to book an appointment via email on community@murphygozzard.com.au. This way our incredible team can continue to work behind the scenes to ensure the fairest outcome for all.
These circumstances are obviously changing every day and we will continue to keep you updated on any updates as they occur. We take our responsibility as service providers incredibly seriously and your health and safety remain our number one priority. We are excited to once again welcome you into our space, albeit it under somewhat more socially distanced circumstances!
Thank you for your continued love and support.
