PARTICK HAIR SALON LOOKS TO THE FUTURE AS IT CELEBRATES 20 YEARS
 
A West End hair salon is celebrating 20 years serving clients and the local community.
 
Kennedy + Co Hairdressing has been a fixture on Dumbarton Road since 2001.

But the experienced team was determined not to sit back after lockdown.

Re-engerised and inspired, staff have introduced fresh ideas and a new product range into the salon.
 
FFØR is a line of naturally and ethically sourced shampoos, conditioners, styling products and treatments now available in store.
 
Manager Luke Duggin said the anniversary was an opportunity for the Partick business to adapt and move forward.
 
“I think being established for 20 years and celebrating that milestone is a big deal for the business.
 
“We have continued to build on the earlier years when the business was establishing itself.
  
“The hair industry was such a different place for the clients back then.”
 
He explained the importance of the new product range.
 
“FFØR is a new, completely sustainable brand, produced in the UK, so the carbon footprint is lower.
 
“It’s all 100% vegan and cruelty free, ethically sourced, fully recyclable bottles, jars and tubes, made from PCR materials which is really important for us.
 
“I think a lot of beauty products struggle with that association.
  
“And it actually works as well. It’s a natural product, and delivers fantastic looking hair with a clean conscience.”

PRESS NIGHT: RIOJA FINNIESTON, 1116 ARGYLE STREET

Rioja Finnieston on Argyle Street has been reimagined by its new Spanish chef.

The dark interiors have given way to light and airy colours and tones.

And the food was on song at a press night this week.

Award-winning chef Miguel Angel Mayor took up his first UK post at the start of summer.

An a la carte menu features a choice of tapas, starters, mains and desserts.

Sample dishes include: Canapé de Pollo Pulpo - crispy chicken skin, fresh Galician octopus, parsley gel and baby shard; and Croquetas de Cocido - béchamel, cured Iberian ham, chicken thigh and a trio of stocks. 

But the change of vibe inside is the first that hits the diner.

The restaurant space and kitchens have been completely refurbished.

The two floors are inspired by Spain's picturesque coastline, with baby blue and peach colours, and pastels.

Chef Miguel Angel Mayor said: "Our food reflects the evolution of taste.

“Scotland, its people, its produce, and its history have always piqued my interest.

“Our menu at Rioja links the high quality of Scottish produce to the history of Spanish cuisine.

“A menu that constantly evolves and has no borders - a one-of-a-kind celebration of food, with flavours that showcase innovative techniques and Spanish gastronomy."
