Jo MacMonagle: Healdlox UK’s hair and beauty expert

Jo MacMonagle is the Owner & Master Stylist at Headlox UK, with over 20 years’ industry experience.

How did you start?
I started working as a junior at a local salon when I was 13, fell in love with making people smile and have never looked back! From City Centre to Apartments of Cyprus my tools have always travelled with me and have never stopped.

What’s the best thing about working in the hair and beauty industry?
The people – there is never a dull day or boring chat!

What’s your favourite beauty essential?
Hair dye… for some it’s about getting rid of greys, for others hair colour can completely transform their look and change their self-confidence.

What’s your most asked for celebrity look?
Denise Welsh of Loose Women. I have a lot of clients who love her colour and style – but I’m sure it’s her attitude that sells the look!

What’s your go-to product and why?
Redken Quick Blowout. It’s fabulous, smells great, ups the processing time of your blow dry and adds heat protection too. A real all-in-one.

What’s your favourite beauty treatment?
Hair Botox! It’s nourishing, restoring, great for taming frizz and giving extra boost and volume.

Lastly, what’s your top tip for relaxing at home?
Find five minutes for you, the world’s a busy place for us all with everything to do. Self-care is a must – if you can’t be good with yourself then you can’t be your best with others.
