More than hair - it's a PRIDE thing!

ROAR is a multi-award-winning Glasgow hair salon group, founded in 2017 by Brian Leo McCallum, with salons in Strathbungo, Giffnock and Muirend.

We created ROAR around a simple belief: exceptional hair and an exceptional guest experience should always go together.

Our team specialises in hair colour, balayage, blonding, colour correction, cutting, styling and healthy hair, but technical expertise is only part of what makes ROAR different.

At ROAR, we listen to YOU first.

Every guest is an individual, so every appointment begins with understanding you, your hair, your lifestyle and what you want to achieve. We combine expert knowledge, creativity, honest advice and genuine care to create hair that feels completely personal to you.

Our purpose is simple: to Spread Happiness With Hair.

Every guest should leave ROAR looking fantastic, feeling fantastic and knowing they mattered.

ROAR is proud to be an inclusive, welcoming salon group where individuality is celebrated and everyone is welcome.

Because it’s more than hair. It’s a pride thing.

Why Your Blonde Goes Brassy — And How ROAR Fixes It

November 27, 2025  /  Brian Mccallum

WELCOME TO ROAR STORIES

Ever washed your hair, glanced in the mirror and thought, “Why does my blonde suddenly look like I’ve been on a two-week sun holiday… in November? You are not alone. Blonde hair loves to misbehave — but at ROAR, we know exactly how to tame it.

BEAUTIFUL BLONDE

BRASSY BEFORE

WHY DO BLONDES GO BRASSY?

Brassiness happens when your blonde loses its cool tones and reveals the underlying warm pigments. A few things can speed this up:

  • Hard water

  • Heat styling

  • Sun exposure

  • Using the wrong shampoo

  • Colour not being refreshed often enough

It’s totally normal — but very fixable.

HOW WE KEEP BLONDE BEAUTIFUL

Here’s what the Pride does to keep your blonde fresh, clean, and glowing:

1. Personalised Toners

Think of toner as your blonde’s favourite oat latte — calming, cooling, and making everything look smoother.

2. Kerasilk & Goldwell Colour Care

We choose colour-care products that protect your tone, add shine, and guard against heat and UV.

3. KMS Styling Protection

Heat protection is non-negotiable. It keeps your blonde bright instead of burnt.

4. Regular Glossing Sessions

Coming in every 6–8 weeks keeps your colour looking intentional — never accidental.

WHAT WE RECOMEND AT ROAR

Kerasilk Color Protecting Shampoo & Conditioner – gentle and tone-safe

  • KMS Color Vitality Blonde Shampoo – keeps brass at bay

  • Goldwell Dualsenses Color Serum – shine + protection in one

Your stylist can match the perfect combo for your hair type.

A LITTLE ROAR WISDOM

Healthy, happy blonde hair is a team effort — you + us. We’ll do the salon magic; you do the home care. Together, we keep your blonde fierce.

If your blonde is feeling a bit more “rawr” than ROAR, pop into any of our salons — Strathbungo, Muirend, or Giffnock — and we’ll bring back the brightness.

ITS MORE THAN HAIR - ITS A PRIDE THING
