Autumn is in full swing and to promote our new 2013 collection we’ll be at Salon International @ ExCeL London!

For those who can’t make it we can send you the new catalogue for free. Just send your request to passion@dowa.co.uk

Alternatively you can click this link to download a pdf version.

The new catalogue features ALL our products as well as a exciting new line-up of scissors, combs and cases.

The sun is out at last and we feel summer 2012 is finally here! (Cue angry rainclouds over the horizon)
Just a quick note on postal deliveries during 27th July – 9 September.

Royal Mail are allowing themselves extra time to deliver to postcode areas E, EC, N, NW, Se, SW, W, WC (meaning slower post in London) and Next Day Deliveries deadlines will be moved from their usual 1pm to just “sometime Next Day”.

To compensate for the slower delivery times we will commit to sending all orders by Next Day Delivery to the affected areas during this time. Enjoy!

Just to let you know we have installed a number of upgrades to make your visit through our site as secure as possible.
We have also installed Sagepay as our new payment gateway.
If you have any queries regarding our handling of your infomation please check our privacy policy alternatively please do not hesitate to contact us on passion@dowa.co.uk or call us on 020 8965 0585.

Just to let you know that we will be carrying out some maintenance work to our website on Sat & Sun May 26/27. The website will be temporarily taken down for up to 48hrs whilst the work is carried out.

The new improvements that come with the update will offer even tighter security, quicker customer service response and an overall safer shopping environment to our visitors.

 Thankyou for your understanding & patience!

Thankyou for everyone who visited us (& helped us) at COSMOPROF 2012 in Bologna, Italy!

 We enjoyed bringing the new products to the show and seeing the amazing reactions we got. Products that did well generating interest were the PASSION MICROLIGHT & PASSION PHANTOM scissors. We were also showing the new YS PARK GUIDE COMBS and offering the YS PARK BRUSHES at special fiera prices. The LAP 32 brushes did really way as well as the Carbon Tiger brushes!

Its a long way to haul our sharpening equpment and exhibition displays, but for us its totally worth the 2000 mile round-trip. Meeting stylists and distributors at shows helps us to improve our product line and also catch up on how last years purchases have performed over the year. Most of all we enjoy going to Italy.

Hope to see you all next year!

YS Guide comb

Once in a while, there comes along an idea that’s so staggeringly simple, you wonder why no-one’s ever done it before.  The YS Park Guide Combs are such an item.  Brilliant for teaching, they feature a ruler permanently lasered into the spine.  It’s easily readable but also subtle so it can be used not only for education, but also in the salon for symmetrical bobs, accurate fringes, or just simply showing the client how much is coming off the back.

Available in the basic G39 and the longer G35 models.

YS Green Collection

HO-HO-HO 

Show friends, family, staff and of course most importantly yourself  that we all deserve a little treat this Winter by giving them a little something-something that you know will be appreciated.

And who says X’mas needs to be about splashing the cash? Here are a few classy gift ideas which don’t break the bank!

Under ￡30

L08 Silver &  YS Park Alu Clips– Tinseltastic combo of padded leather scissor pouch with metallic finish (silver or gold) & 2 packs of colourful YS Park aluminium clips.

Under ￡60

Havana Pouch & YS Park T09 Air Brush– Genuine fine leather scissor pouch and best selling YS Park Ionic Air Styler combo will put a smile on the face of even the most discerning stylist.

Under ￡90

Kyoto Phoenix Scissor & Riga 2 Scissor Case– The definitive gift! Fastest selling scissor at Salon International 2011, Kyoto Phoenix (avail 5.0/5.5/6.0/6.5/7.0) in a deluxe aluminium presentation case. For an extra special touch laser mark names or personalised messages (￡20).

Lightweight, portable, indestructable and unlike plastic diffusers they won’t melt.  Its another great idea brought to you by YS PARK.

The YS PARK diffuser is great for turning a scorching blow dryer blast  into a softer manageable heat, preventing heat damage and retaining elasticity to the hair. Its fantastic for creating volume or curls and even assists colouring or hair treatment procedures.   Simply fit onto any size blow dryer and fix the straps to the back for extra support.

 The metal mesh fabric contains silver & titanium particles which quickly heat up and retain the heat.

Just looking at the pictures bring tears to our eyes! Ahhh… Salon International…. The months of preparations, getting new products in on time,  making new displays, late nights in the office making labels and after all that worrying what if no one bothers to come?

Every year we get our nerves torn to shreds preparing for Salon but our faith is always restored when we meet to you on our stand and show you what we have that’s new. (Our faith is also restored when the whole PASSION crew get together after the show for a drink but thats another story…) 

While we’re still recovering from the aftermath of our biggest show of the year, we’d like to say a massive thankyou to everybody who visited our stand at SALON INTERNATIONAL 2011. We’ve been exhibiting at SALON for nearly 30 years and the whole experience never gets old. Getting to meet our customers face to face and chatting to them is the most rewarding part of our job. Special thanks to everyone who waited in line to get their scissors sharpened or make purchases. You really made all our months of preparation worthwhile!  

 Hope to see you all again next year! xxx

The G-Series brush is currently the most popular in the YS Park brush line. Built for maximum airflow, it gives you faster blowdrying, and significantly less heat damage. In addition, the boar bristles create more tension when brushing, smoothing the cuticle and generating more natural shine.
