Explained: Blushes but without the bs…
At first glance, you’ll see a new look and feel that signifies community and growth. But behind the scenes, The Blushes Collective is the umbrella under which we create dynamic environments where people come to flourish. Purposeful creation of happiness for our clients and our teams by changing the way we experience hair.
“As we grow, we’re determined to put people at the centre of the Blushes universe. The new ethos, strategies and career opportunities are reflective of a contemporary culture which meant the look and feel of the business had scope to evolve too. We’ve refreshed the brand and developed the logo to get rid of the bs (literally).” (Georgia Faulkner, Marketing Director).

However, The Blushes Collective signifies more than just a new brand or website - the changes made are industry-changing developments that have been a year in the making. The changes are a result of time spent surveying our teams and clients, honestly reflecting on our business as it stood and the direction society and the industry was moving as a whole.
Whether you’re here for the hair or you’re here to work - we’re putting our clients and teams at the center of the Blushes community in equal measure.
