My favourite time of the year is when I plan a holiday and get to pack all my beauty products into my suitcase! Travel size everything has become essential when trying to cram every single beauty product you own into your suitcase, especially now you get charged for every kilo you take with you! I find packing a little stressful as I always find myself taking too much with me which then results in a suitcase clear out at Manchester airport whilst all the other sensible travellers stare at you!

Last weekend I had a hair appointment at Umberto Giannini, award winning salon in Harvey Nichols Manchester which is located on Deansgate. This was my first time at the salon and I was made to feel very welcome. Even though the salon is located in Harvey Nichols, it is surprisingly affordable and accessible for everyone, with a cut and blow dry starting from £36. They even have a student price list which is very reasonable, more details can be found here. The salon also recently won an award for the Best Salon in Manchester!
