What’s Your New Year Resolution for 2016?

New Year Resolutions, hair salons in milton keynesMost of us start the New Year with good intentions.  We vow to exercise more, eat healthy meals, cut down on alcohol and spend more time with family friends.

Sadly, studies show that we have usually broken most of our New Year’s resolutions by the first week in February…so what can we do to stick to our goals?

Perhaps it’s time to be more realistic and choose a resolution that you can actually keep!  Up your exercise level to a reasonable level rather than vowing to hit the gym 7 days a week and you may well stick to the plan.

New Year Resolution: Have A Makeover at ZIGZAG Hair Studio, Towcester

makeover, hair salons in milton keynesA great New Year resolution that is well within your reach is to have a makeover.  If you’ve been working the same old hairstyle for years, why not make a change for 2016?

A makeover can give you a massive boost in confidence and that often has a knock-on effect in other areas of your life.  You may find the confidence to socialise more, apply for that job or promotion, or try that Hiit class!

The hair and colour technicians at ZIGZAG Hair Studios are trained to understand which hairstyles suit different face shapes and which hair colours will look best with skin tone and eye colour.  Your stylist will listen to your likes and dislikes and advise you on some hairstyles that will be perfect for you.

You’ll be pleased to learn that we have a number of Goldwell Master Colour Experts in our team.  They are among the best in the UK when it comes to creating superb hair colours so if you fancy an on-trend ombre, a fashion pastel colour or simply some subtle highlights, you can rest assured we can deliver.  We even work with the latest ammonia-free hair colour – Goldwell’s Nectaya – which gives a rich colour and noticeably healthier-feeling hair!

Whatever your needs, we are here to help men and women achieve the hair of their dreams in 2016.  Give ZIGZAG Hair Studio a call now to book your appointment.

Top Tips To Help You Keep Your Resolution

Do not despair though.  According to the American Psychological Association, you can stick to your New Year’s resolution by following these steps:

Start Small – Make resolutions that you think you can keep.  If you would like to eat healthier, try replacing dessert with something else you enjoy, like fruit or yogurt, instead of seeing your diet as a form of punishment.

Change One Behaviour At A Time –  Work toward changing one thing at a time.

Share Your Experiences – Join a support group, talk to friends and family about your goals. Having someone to share your struggles and successes with makes your journey easier and less intimidating.

Don’t Beat Yourself Up – Don’t give up completely because you broke your diet, or skipped the gym for a week. Everyone has ups and downs.  Resolve to recover from your mistakes and get back on track.
