We’re just going to come out and say it: they were adorable while they lasted but this summer we’re jumping on the anti-flower crown bandwagon, and we invite you to jump on with us. Sure, they may conjure up imagery of 70’s hippies and ethereal fairytale characters (not to mention the masses at Coachella) but now, 5 years on, they’ve become about as basic as drinking a pumpkin spice latte while wearing Uggs and Lululemon yoga pants. Don’t do it people. It’s time to move on, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still incorporate flowers into your getup next time…

It’s official, nail extensions are back on our beauty radar and this year they’re better than ever. Fitted elegantly to your nail, today’s new breed of extension is nothing like the thick, square tipped talons you rocked as a teenager, oh no. Slim in length and opaque in effect, it’s no wonder bookings are booming for acrylic and SNS nails this summer. Not sure where to start? If you’re in the market for a modern set of extensions, our edit of London’s best nail salons is a great place to start. Read on to find out more… By Rebecca Hoffnung

From waxing and threading to plucking and microblading, we sure put our brows through a lot in the quest for perfect arches. They’re the beauty obsession of the decade, so it’s no wonder tinting and threading searches on Treatwell are up by 50% nationwide. We’re brow obsessed! But we can all use a little help from time to time. Cue beauty guru Shavata Singh, CEO of Shavata Brow Studio. If there’s anyone who knows a thing or two about keeping those babies in check, it’s her. We recently had a sit down at her flagship London salon to find out everything…

Say bonjour to macaron buns, the latest low-key French girl hair trend, and newest iteration of summer's ever popular space buns. Characterised by their laid back low slung style, instead of being placed high on top of the head like their space bun counterpart, macaron buns are tied loosely and low at the nape of the neck. Getting their name from the similarly shaped French sweet treat, Parisian girls can’t get enough of this super cool style. Right now they’re taking the internet by storm and already trending on Pinterest big time - their analytics team recently reported a 170% spike…

It's the secret to a youthful, plump complexion but just how exactly do you go about boosting your skin's own natural collagen levels? As the resident collagen hunter here at Treatwell HQ, believe me when I say I’ve tried everything. Along with hyaluronic acid and elastin, this skin-plumping protein is the key ingredient behind a young and fresh looking complexion, so activating and increasing these proteins with a hardworking facial is vital in your quest for a long lasting youthful glow. But forget creams and serums; the latest beauty tech is where it's at. I’ve trawled the country for the…

Just like that go-to pair of boyfriend jeans, the boyfriend bob is as easy to wear, as it is chic. Early adopters ( including the likes of Vanessa Hudgens) are styling out this 'borrowed from the boys' haircut by casually tucking it behind their ears, wearing it with sharp, centre partings and frankly we're obsessed. It's the cool-girl cut we've all been waiting for. Here's everything you need to know... By Rebecca Hoffnung

There’s no escaping it - if this season’s latest fashion and beauty trends are anything to go by, 90’s glam is back in a big way. From lipgloss to jelly shoes and Adidas tracksuits, it seems everywhere we look, from A-listers to Insta-stars, the grungy trends of the 90’s are out in full force this summer, and the newest resurgence has us feeling more nostalgic than ever. Enter tooth jewellery (or tooth bling - whatever you want to call it); not to be confused with the glistening diamond grills popularised by rappers and hip hop stars, today’s tooth gem resurgence…

Paring back your beauty regime to suit those pesky airline liquid restrictions is a real bore. Fact. Every product has its own unique spot in your life and deciding which to ditch, and which to take is tougher than that weekly Love Island vote. Save yourself the drama (and the packing space) by booking in for a pre-holiday beauty treatment that goes the extra mile and lightens your beauty load in the process. No room for mascara? No problem... By Liz Hambleton

On the hunt for a pretty summer manicure but fancy something a little more exciting than those done-to-death pastels? Look no further than a pressed flower manicure; it’s dainty, it’s delicate, and it’s dominating Instagram right now as the nail trend of the summer. Featuring intricately placed real dry flowers and petals pressed onto the nail bed and then finished with a clear gel top coat, this blooming botanical style puts the perfect finishing touch on any warm weather outfit. First spotted on Preen’s AW/17 runway show earlier this year, and most recently at the Rodarte FW/17 Couture show in…

Is it ok to swim with a spray tan? And does chlorine actually turn your hair green? Whether you’re holidaying or at home the hot months of summer can bring plenty of beauty confusion. From the golden rules of tanning to the how-tos of hair removal, there’s a lot of #fakenews out there. Not sure how to tell the fact from the fiction? We’ve busted this summer’s biggest beauty myths so you don’t have to. Read on to find out more… By Jo Hoare

We’ll admit it. Here at Treatwell when it comes to beauty we’re totally nosy. What do you always book in for? What are your salon habits? And most importantly, what’s your favourite treatment? Whether you’re prepping for a holiday or perfecting your summer beauty checklist – we need all the deets. Introducing ‘At the Salon With’, our new monthly beauty series that lifts the lid on a host of expert’s and influencer’s salon rituals. From editors to chefs, models to business owners, we’re interviewing a wide range of in-the-know beauty lovers to find out exactly what makes them tick. This month,…

If you’ve had a peruse around Zara or Topshop lately, you may have noticed that pearls are fast becoming the go-to accessory of the season. From embellished denim to statement jewellery, if you’re hitting the highstreet this summer you’ll be hard pressed to find any item that isn't encrusted with a pearl or two - and now like many fashion trends, it’s seeping into the world of hair and beauty too. It started at the Gucci Cruise Show in May, where models were seen strutting down the runway with hair adorned with intricate pearl detailing, and now it seems wherever…

We don’t need to warn you about the importance of wearing suncream. From skin damage to wrinkles and even skin cancer, nowadays anyone who’s even remotely skin conscious will know that layering up with SPF as the weather gets hotter is key if you want to protect your face from the many dangers of sun exposure. So where to begin? Suncreams come a dime a dozen at any local pharmacy, but if you want your products to go the extra mile by combining SPF with a host of other skin-saving ingredients, then our edit of these facialist approved summer SPF products will…

As much as we all crave ‘beach hair’ (you’re saying you’ve never taken a photo of Candice, Miranda or Doutzen a la plage into the hairdressers?), all that sea, sun and surf isn’t so great for your locks. Beachy texture often means salt and chlorine giving your hair that undone, messy-wavy feel - which is all fun and games for a day or two, but when you get home and realise you can’t get a comb through it? Less fun. The extreme heat and swimming in the sea can be incredibly dehydrating for your hair, especially if you regularly use…

Off to a festival for the first time this summer? Sorted your tent, your transport and what to pack for insta versus real life? That just leaves the tricky situation of beauty essentials. In a dream world you’ll be operating a strict regime of different festival braids worthy of Kate Bosworth and intricate glitter designs you’ve watched tutorials of on Youtube. Now we hate to break it to you but try recreating these looks minus a mirror, in two square foot of space when the nearest you’ve been to running water in 72 hours is when you got showered by…

We all know what combination skin is. In fact, we’d hazard a guess that most of us fall into the ‘combination’ category, at least during some seasons of the year. Even if your skin is drier than the Sahara desert, you’re still bound to get the odd breakout come summer. Likewise, if you’re usually reaching for the blotting papers every few minutes, when the mercury drops, you might find patches of your face uncomfortably tight. So why is that when we’re sat in the hairdresser’s chair, prepping for our blow-dry, or standing in the aisles of a supermarket trying to…

We all love that post-salon-blow-dry feeling. The infinitely swishier hair, the smoothness that somehow survives sweaty gym sessions, the gravity defying-bounce...Plus, have you noticed that a salon style always seems to last a longer than anything you do at home? It’s not just industrial amounts of hairspray (though that helps) - it’s because they get your hair really clean. That’s right - you’re not imagining that squeaky-clean sensation. A proper salon wash gets your hair clean from root to tip in a way that’s hard to replicate at home. Now, I know what you’re thinking: ‘Um, Liz, I already know…

Move over matte, this season gloss is back in a big way, and it's not just your lips that are getting all the action. From sexy greased up eyeliner to cool iridescent polish, glossy lids seem to be everywhere we turn this summer, and it's no wonder Byrdie have reported a 170% increase in searches on Pinterest over the last year. So if you haven't had the guts (or know how) to rock this slick, cool-girl look just yet, the good news is it's a lot easier to wear than you might think. Whether you're after an ethereal high-shine vibe, a sweet pastel shade…

Put aside the whole “Summer Body” mantra for a moment and consider the real benefits of taking it a little easier and greeting the sunshine (or not) with a calm glow. After all, longer days, balmy temperatures and the promise of some Vitamin D should unravel those tensions and leave you feeling like you can face the rest of the year. Take it easy, step away from the treadmill of city life and dip into these relaxing havens for a little Summer R&R. By Emma Strenner

Ah, Festival season; one of the only times you can just about get away with wearing glitter as a grown-up. It's shiny, it's versatile, and boy is it fun to apply, and this year people have been finding even more creative ways to bedazzle their bods. From glitter roots to glitter tears (and freckles!), we thought we had seen it all, until our Instas started blowing up with glistening images of bedazzled bottoms emblazoned with eye catching shimmer - a look we predict many a millennial will be rocking once festival season is in full swing. And did we mention #glittertits? Yes, they're officially a thing…

Brows? Check. Blow dry? Check. Nails? Check. Whether you plump for long, glossy red talons or favour a more classic French set, good nails are one of our favourite finishing touches. And while we all want nails that make us feel like we’ve got our beauty game down pat, sometimes it can be a confusing (and dare we say it, stressful) issue. To help answer your burning nail questions and allay your fingertip fears (nail biters, we’re talking to you), we asked manicurist Michelle Humphrey, who has tended the nails of celebs such as Madonna, Katy Perry and Rita Ora,…

You’re skipping out of the salon on cloud nine. You can’t get enough of your new hair - the colour is seamless, the shade is perfect and your complexion looks warmer and healthier. Except there’s one caveat - just like when you get a new haircut then can’t style it for the life of you at home, how do you keep the colour looking salon-fresh? (By the way, to avoid the former, make sure your stylist knows your haircare routine. If you’re a wash-and-go girl, ‘fess up so you don’t end up with a intricate style that requires a daily…
