You, me and a cup of tea...

“It's always tea-time.” - Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

A trip to Pages Salons is not merely a routine hair appointment. We aim to provide an experience where you can relax, unwind and be revitalized while being pampered and styled. 

With this in mind (and considering the British tradition and love of a good brew), we offer our clients (that’s you!) a cosy lounge area where you can enjoy a little “me-time” - prior to or following your treatment - with a delicious, complimentary (and hot!) cup of Tea Pigs tea!

Aside from the fact that tea warms your cockles and provides a great excuse for a good old chinwag, a piping hot brew is also proven to help reduce stress levels, boost energy levels & help combat ailments.

At Pages Salons, we provide a range of amazing, highest-quality teas from Teapigs for you to savour. Today, we’re introducing you to a few of the favourites so that next time you pop by for a treatment, you can indulge yourself. (Thanks to Teapigs for the descriptions and the yummy teas!)

Super Fruit - bursting with super fruits

The wishy-washy fruit teas are no longer – hurrah! We’ve popped real whole berries (cranberries and blueberries to be precise) to give a fruit tea that packs a super fruity punch – finally! These ingredients are great little super-foods so as well as a great tasting cuppa, you get a health kick too! 

How does it taste?

Super and fruity - this cheeky drink is a little tart!

Good if you're feeling…

Slow and lifeless. The antioxidants in our super fruits will help stave off “Squashed Hedgehog Syndrome” (i.e. “feeling run down” – get it? Sorry ....)

What is in it?

Hibiscus, elderberry, blackcurrant, raisin, natural flavours, ligonberry, blueberry

Liquorice and mint - sweet treat

One of our best sellers, this little combo has hit the spot with lots of you. We use the natural root of the liquorice plant (not the black sticky stuff you’re thinking of!) and have blended it with our of pure peppermint leaves to create a naturally sweet and refreshing drink that is irresistibly moreish.  Liquorice has been used in Chinese medicine for years and is known as “the great detoxifier” – sounds great!

How does it taste?

Sweet, liquorice, mint and sweet again.

Good if you're feeling…

In need of a little treat, or, alternatively, in need of a tea to soothe a sore throat.

What is in it?

Liquorice root and peppermint

Mao feng green tea - green with envy

Call us soppy romantics, but we like this story. A young man and a beautiful young woman from a tea plantation were in love, but the local tyrant seized her as his concubine. She escaped, only to learn that the tyrant had killed her lover. Finding his body deep in the mountains she wept and wept until she became the rain, while her lover's body turned into a tea bush. Which is why, according to the legend, the area where Mao Feng tea grows is forever cloudy and humid the whole year round. All together now…ahhh! This tea is special, unlike any other green tea on the market. A green tea liked by people who don’t like green tea.

How does it taste?

This tea has a delicate natural taste of fresh summer air, peaches and apricots. The infusion will turn clear pale green (not the murky brown you often see with standard green teas).

Good if you're feeling…

In need of a make-over. Can’t afford rehab, liposuction or Botox? Why not settle for a nice cuppa? You may have heard about the many reputed benefits of drinking green tea, ranging from weight loss to anti-ageing - more fun than cosmetic surgery!

What is in it?

Pure mao feng green tea

Lemon and ginger - lazy days

Close the door to the wind and rain and brew up this all-natural, gingery, lemony brew to sweep you away to a British summer's day.  Think home-made lemonade, traditional ginger beer, croquet and morris dancers (ok, perhaps a step too far), it’s simply summer in a cup.  There is no match for the ginger kick and refreshing lemon in this infusion.

Please note this blend contains liquorice.

How does it taste?

A light, refreshing burst of citrus with the subtle warmth of ginger.

Good if you're feeling…

Mellow - this lemon and gingery blend will lift your spirits on even the cloudiest of days.

What is in it?

Ginger, lemongrass, lemon peel, liquorice root

Wise words from style icons

This week we’re sharing knowledge gems from some of the pioneers and game-changers of fashion, beauty and feminine flair.

Words of encouragement and inspiration are sometimes all it takes for us to make the leap into something different, new and exciting – whether it be a new career or lifestyle choice, relationship, hairstyle or wardrobe.

We’ve chosen a few icons who weren’t just pretty faces focused on fashion and fame – they had life experience, creative genius, hearts of gold, ambition and vivaciousness. There are countless people and their pearls that we could have included, but we’ve narrowed it down to a few of our favourite creatives and bravura stars.

So without further ado, we give you wise words from style icons…

Christian Dior
“Long after one has forgotten what a woman wore, the memory of her perfume lingers”

“Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest.”

“Women are most fascinating between the ages of 35 and 40 after they have won a few races and know how to pace themselves. Since few women ever pass 40, maximum fascination can continue indefinitely.”

“By being natural and sincere, one often can create revolutions without having sought them.” 


 Coco Chanel

“Once you've dressed, and before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take at least one thing off."

“The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.”

“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” 

“Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.”

“The best colour in the whole world is the one that looks good on you.” 

“You can be gorgeous at thirty, charmimg at forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life.” 

“Adornment, what a science! Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance!” 


 Vidal Sassoon

“You either create something and you keep it a secret and you die with it, or you can benefit the craft.”

“If you have a sense of style and purpose and will, you don't want to compromise.”

“Bring out the eyes.”

“Most people have excellent necks. Now they cover them with curtains, which is kind of ridiculous. But there are some beautiful necklines that you can cut into and create wonderful backs, as well as bone structure for the face.”


Audrey Hepburn

“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”

“For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”

“The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows.”

“The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.”


Marilyn Munroe

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” 

“Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” 

“We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.”

“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
