Our Beautiful Clients




Bonjour Rougettes,

Here at the So Coco Rouge studio we love nothing more than spending the day working with our beautiful clients, helping them to achieve the look they want and  having a little bit of a cheeky gossip over a nice cup of tea. Over the past few weeks we have been lucky enough to work with some fantastic and gorgeous people and we have loved every second of meeting and working with them. So this blog piece is dedicated to introducing you to some of our beautiful So Coco Rouge clients.

Firstly we had the pleasure of styling Alice Barlow aka Rae from Channel 4's hit soap Hollyoaks before she headed down south to London for the annual British Soap Awards. Alice was nominated for the 'Best Storyline' award and wanted to be throughly pampered before hitting the red-carpet. We think the nude and grey sultry eyes complement her bronzed, peachy cheeks and pink lips perfectly. And finally to finish the look we tonged and clipped the hair to give that gorgeous lightly tousled look. Perfect for appearing before the flash bulbs of the paparazzi!



Secondly, on 11th May our studio was visited by the fantastic all girl group Indigo City. We had a great time meeting these beautiful ladies and styling them before they headed off to Chester Races to present the winners horse. The studio was truely buzzing as the ladies arrived bright and early to be given the So Coco Rouge treatment. They gave us major style envy as they coordinated and finalised their outfits for the day inbetween having their make-up done! And we were dying to sneak along with them! These girls are not only beautiful but very talented and have lots of exciting things coming up in the next fews months including headlining at Chester Rocks and performing at Crewe Live. Their new single is great and avaliable to view on YouTube and we know they are going to be huge!

Lastly So Coco Rouge were so excited and honoured to be asked to work on a Sky Documentary with none other than Alan Cumming. Known for his roles in X-Men and The Good Wife, Alan was here to film as part of a documentary that undercovers secrets of cities throughout England and climbed the Liver Buildings as part of his trip to Liverpool. We were delighted to work as part of the crew during their time filming in the city and Alan was an absolute pleasure to work with! We can't wait to see the finished article on our screens in August!



As well as these lovely clients we have also had a ball helping brides get ready for their big day, making over all the school leavers for their proms and end of year parties and taking part in photo shoots both here in the North West and also in London. We truely have the best job in the world and get to work alongside some of the best people each and everyday! Thank you for supporting So Coco Rouge and remember the futures bright the futures rouge!!

And The Winner Is.... It's So Coco Rouge

Hello Rougettes,

We are extremely excited to be writing this blog. Following on from the previous blog we attended the award ceremony for The English Hair and Beauty Awards 2012 at the Midland Hotel, Manchester on the 6th May. We had a fantastic night at the awards and got to meet many people within the industry that we truely admire. The second award of the night was for 'make-up specialist of the year' which we are proud to announce WE WON!! After being presented with our award by fellow Liverpudlian and beauty queen Rachelle Perez and delivering an oscar worthy acceptance speech, we were whisked away to be interviewed and photographed by the press. We finally returned to our table and settled down to enjoy our meal and toast our victory thinking that we had experienced far too much excitement for one night and still as giggly and happy as a teenager at a Justin Beiber concert.

As the final award for the night was announced we were shocked to hear So Coco Rouge called out again... we had been crowned 'North West Beauty Salon.' We couldn't believe that our clients had voted and nominated us for not only one award but two. Your support for us is amazing!! We were nominated in both categories alongside businesses that we really respect which made us even more grateful. Thank you so much for all your votes and i'm sure you will all agree the awards look fantastic taking centre stage in So Coco Rouge HQ!

Award Nomination

Bonjour my little Rougettes,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! We can't believe its Monday again already :( but it's back to work for yet another jam packed week here at So Coco Rouge HQ.

We simply had to write today's blog piece to fill you in on our exciting news...... We have been nominated as 'Make-up specialist of the year' at the up and coming English Hair and Beauty Awards. We are absolutely thrilled to have been nominated as these awards are based on nominations from the public and so we would like to thank all our beautiful Rougettes for your unwavering support and for showing us that you have truely enjoyed the work that we do and it is fantastic to be recognised for all our hard work!

The awards will take place on Sunday 6th May at the Midland Hotel, Manchester and are also in aid of a great cause having colloborated with The Katie Piper Foundation as their official charity partner. It is great to see an awards show that not only takes into consideration the views of the customers and clients using these hair and beauty services daily across the UK but that also promotes a positive message about the idea of beauty and we couldn't think of a more fitting role model than Katie Piper!

So thanks again Rougettes it really does mean the world to us and fingers crossed we will be bringing another blog-post to you very soon announcing our success at the awards!

Until next time,

Love Ruby Rouge
xoxo
