Hang on , am I having a moment ?
I’m sure this was in Influencers a minute ago, now it’s in Gurus?

I’m sure it was too and guessing that was @Jelly Bean ‘s intention.
Sali’s touting Hershesons in her column/IG etc etc is now surely beyond all pretence of being impartial. We know she does it for the #presstreatment which is just another way for her to be shady and disingenuous about her Ad affiliations. She is no doubt hoping by keeping the number of mentions embarrassingly high she will be top of the list when they reopen.
she feels so bad for these salons, still won’t make her actually pay though.

It was - maybe only mods get to move them from category to category?
So near
Seriously on the last thread - Sali ordered shampoo from Glasgow?
Someone said on the previous thread it must a conflict of interest mustn't it?

I'm afraid her defense is always 'I didn't get PAID' but the ASA rules state gifts and press treatments count as payment.

Can we ask Mods to move it ? , she is more Influencer than Guru these days.
Tattle management have spoken: the woman is a damn GURU!!
On an early thread someone posted that Tattle HQ hadn’t heard of SH and so didn’t know where to put her

A cursory (and admittedly somewhat tragic on my part) look has shown the most recent mentions of Hersheson's by Sali in The Guardian.
March 18 'Your hair regime doesn't have to be hard work'
March 27 'Solitary confinement - a lockdown survival guide'
April 11 'Top 10 lockdown beauty tips'
May 2 'Supporting hair salons'.
When word count is so low I don't understand why prominence is given to one quite niche brand so often.

Do as I say, not as I do?
Who is OKing her columns? Did they even read the last one? If we could bring ourselves to, there's no excuse!

Disingenuous. I think the response to her reply there might be ‘but nobody is interested in where I buy my shampoo as I’m not a journalist?

she just is bankrupt in the scruples department isn’t she? It’s hard sell in pantomime form. Her vocation is QVC, at least it would be an honest living, not dressing it up as something else.Yes at the beginning she started off under 'celebrity'

She really should be in the influencer section in my humble opinion.
Without being disrespectful , why order from Glasgow for Aveda shampoo when she lives within spitting distance of London and the areas with anyone wishing to sell Aveda to her.
dafuq is a fug?
That column! Utter self-serving codswallop that no one even looked at before hitting send. A typo in the headline ffs. "Loving your locks" who talks like this except for leftover beauty editors? Where is the reader service in that column? Does shoehorning in a couple of products tick that box?

Yes that just about sums it up. Utterly pointless with possibly duff information (the vouchers). Why is such a lot of her lockdown beauty centred around hair anyway? When the advice seems to be 'just leave it alone'.
Exactly. @admin How come this thread was decided to be in Gurus and not Influencers?
Class A witch. Truly the mean girl
Yes, I know the headline typo was not your fault, Sali. It is just an illustration of how little attention the Guardian is paying to the column. Do they stil have subs?
I'd say because Hershesons and SH don't have a written contract, just an understanding that she'll keep mentioning them and they'll keep giving her the freebies...Looking at Hershesons' prices, that freebie is worth a lot to SH.
Hairdressers will be just fine after lockdown. They have skills which will always be needed. Hair salons might not be, but if as SH claims, only a tiny proportion of the appointment fee (a cut and finish at Hershesons starts at £80) goes to the actual stylist, there's little point in shelling out the £240+ for three vouchers SH recommends as it will just go towards paying rent rather than the staff, who are presumably eligible for furlough or self employment schemes anyway.
I loved the down-to-earth take on maintaining hair at home by hairdresser Michael Douglass:
www.independent.co.uk
Lots of complaints were received because he said that home dyes are made of the same stuff as salon dyes.
Of course we go to hairdressers for their skill and experience. But guilt-tripping people into going into extra efforts to support flagship salons and brands is not called for in the current situation we live it. It’s shit that hair salons are closed, but so are so many other businesses.
I have paid loads of money for haircuts in a top-end salons once or twice and can honestly say they did not transform my life, or were times better than the haircuts I’ve had at a more average price.
And in terms of hair dyeing- I don’t do fancy hair colours or looks and home dye kits have always worked just as well as an expensive salon jobs. A little self-education in the colour wheel, understanding different types of hair dyes snd your own hair type and safe ways of hair colouring is all it’s needed- it’s not rocket science.
The One Show receives complaints for segment on cutting own hair at home during coronavirus lockdown
Hairdresser Michael Douglas told viewers that supermarkets sold 'exactly the same' products as used in salons.

Home hair dyes are so much better than they used to be even a decade ago. You had to leave them on at least an hour and they just made your hair one block colour, no tones, and they stank to high heaven.I loved the down-to-earth take on maintaining hair at home by hairdresser Michael Douglass:

It is imo ridiculous to suggest most people can't manage their own hair, at least temporarily. It is just hair. Even my 88 year old mum who visits the hairdresser ever week to maintain her perm, and has done for decades, has washed her hair and styled it and says it is fine. In fact after she has said she probably will look after it herself from now on apart from the occasional trim.
