Peter Marcus Hairdressing

Peter Marcus hairdressers in Manchester city centre took part in National Carers Week this week by hosting a fabulous day of carefree pampering to support and recognise the carers of the North West.    On the 14th June, Peter Marcus gave carers the chance to let their hair down and put their feet up by closing the doors to the public and opening the salon only to them. 

The Peter Marcus team gave them a free day of pampering with hair styling, cuts and colouring, whatever they wanted.
Peter and Marcus were more than happy to help when they were approached by Carers UK to see if they could contribute in any way.  Peter Usher, co-owner of Peter Marcus explained, “We wanted these ladies to be placed on a pedestal today as it is all about them and their needs.  We made sure no one would leave the salon without looking fabulous and feeling refreshed as, let’s face it they all deserve it”.

The salon also teamed up with ‘Good Hands’, a new team of mobile sports massage specialists, who really gave their guests a further treat.  As well as a fabulous hair treatment, they had the opportunity to have their troubles eased with a professional back, neck and head massage.

Claire Wilman, organiser of National Carers Week commented, “Carers never have time for themselves as they are constantly worrying about the needs of someone else.  These individuals are unpaid and over looked in society so it is important for carers to be recognised.  A lot of the time they feel isolated and alone so it is nice to get everyone together”.

Michele Day, one of the guest carers said, “It is nice to be pampered for a change as you usually do not get time for yourself as you are generally with the person we are looking after.  Even when you are not with them you are constantly thinking about them and how they are doing … it is tough”.

The big ‘do not’ this summer is neglecting your hair by leaving it unprotected when you are in the sun as this causes hair to dry out and become brittle.  Essential, must have hair products this season is Matrix Biolage Sunsorials.  This new range by Matrix helps protect the hair from the sun, pool and sea leaving hair nourished and hydrated.  The products are derived from natural botanicals like Sunflower seed oil, rich in Vitamins A, C, D and E.  Matrix Biolage Sunsorials cleanses hair by removing impurities such as chlorine and sea salt while nourishing the hair and relieving the scalp from the harsh effects of the sun.   
 
All Matrix Biolage Sunsorials products can be found at Peter Marcus Hair Salon In Manchester who are promoting a special offer of a 3 for 2* deal with any Matrix Biolage Sunsorials products you buy.  Let’s face it, there is nothing worse then having a bad hair day let alone a whole summer of bad hair so, don’t you think it is time to invest in some quality hair products?

Marcus will be working with the Matrix team from the 8th to the 11th May as he presents two seminars to a European audience in Prague.

These kind of training events are a regular occurrence for both Peter and Marcus and they regularly receive requests to present overseas as part of the Matrix Global Creative team.

Here we see Marcus in action last year in Warsaw.

We found ourselves in the thick of the Election hype yesterday (Thursday 15 April 2010) when our very own Marcus Shamim was called in to style none other than Sarah Brown’s hair; wife of Prime Minister, Gordon!

All the party leaders were in town for the first live leaders’ debate at Granada studios (you couldn’t step out of the salon door without falling over a journalist or photographer!) and there was definitely a buzz in the air in anticipation of the historic event.

We were soon thrust into the excitement when Marcus was called to the Radisson hotel to style the first lady of UK politics.  She had a busy day of campaigning ahead of her and wanted to look her best to meet the people of Manchester.  We were delighted to be called in and hope she chooses us again on her next visit to the city.
