NO TICKETS TO THE OLYMPICS? YOU CAN STILL CELEBRATE AT THE FRESH ACADEMY!

Don’t worry if you didn’t manage to grab tickets to the table tennis or the pole vaulting.  Perhaps you had your heart set on the 100m Men’s sprint…maybe it was the swimming!  Whatever event you wish you had tickets to you can still commemorate the London Olympic 2012 games with us at the Fresh Academy.

Being the largest photographic Studio in the UK, we would probably win GOLD medal if there was an Olympic category for fashion make-overs and family photo shoots.  We put our heads together and thought what could we do to celebrate this momentous occasion?  We’re going to give all of our Blog readers, Facebook Fans and Twitter followers an Olympic Offer worthy of any medallist.  Book in with us for the month of August and you will enjoy an incredible package of a full Fashion Make-over, plus photo-shoot – then your family will join you for a secondary photo shoot all on the same day so you’ll get not one free offer but two!

You’ll receive a professional make-over consultation (for one) and once we’ve discussed the look you want (it could be an Olympic theme if you like?) we’ll whisk you into hair and make-up and let our make-up artists and hair stylists take over.  After you’ve been transformed it’s into the 8,000 square foot studio (it could have been an Olympic venue!) for your fashion photo shoot and then your family will join you for a full family photo shoot.  If you didn’t already know, we have over 30 purpose built sets and an enormous selection of backdrops, props and accessories that you can choose from.  You can also feel completely relaxed as our stylists guide you through your photo shoot, they want you to look your best and are on hand to advise and answer questions throughout.

Once the photo shoots are complete, you and your family will be invited to our cinema viewing room where you will be able to see all of the pictures on our viewing screen.  You can choose the images you love (it will be a tough decision!) and you’ll always look back at your photographs  remembering it as the time London hosted the 2012 Olympics.

To take up this celebratory offer, call Hollie on 01923 212 673, quote Olympic Offer and book in (subject to availability) – we’re taking bookings up to the very end of August so hurry!  For more information about us, check out www.freshacademy.com and www.freshfamilies.com.  You can also find us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter.

Getting ready to party with Fresh Style

Big nights out, hot date with a new man, sister’s wedding….a 21^st birthday? It could even be the school prom night.  Whatever it is, we all want to look and feel beautiful. We’ve all got hectic diaries and Friday and Saturday night’s there’s usually something fantastic coming up may be a party or a get together with good friends.  Of course, some of us want to go clubbing, and some of us go out for a meal with our boyfriends. Whether we want to go for a drink with in the local pub or bar what we all have in common is that we want to look gorgeous.

One of most enjoyable things about getting dressed up and going out is the preparation!  That can be going shopping with the girls on Saturday to find the right outfit, or during lunch hour looking for the perfect pair of skinnies, maybe a sparkly top the same colour as your eyes.  It can also be seeking out the best accessories to compliment – who can find the highest pair of shoes, who’s going to wear the strappiest sandles?  Anyone for some clip in hair extensions?  We love looking in Boots for the most sparkly nail varnish and new make-up, maybe replicating Cheryl Cole or Tulisa’s style. We girls love shopping, trying and exchanging tips and ideas – and if you haven’t got time to shop then swapping clothes with your best friend also does the trick.

Often being out all day shopping or just hanging out with the girls means we’re just about collapsing on our feet by the late afternoon and there’s nothing better than relaxing and get into the right frame of mind for going out on the town later on.  We definitely need a re-charge and it’s times like these that we would love the luxury of having someone pamper us, we could just sit back, relax and let someone else do all the work for us.  Well that’s what we say to each-other nearly every week.  One of us heard about a brilliant new service at the Fresh Academy.  Behind the doors of the largest fashion make-over studio in the UK (8000 square foot!!) is a hair salon with a professional hairdresser and the best bit – there’s resident make-up artists and they’ve just started up an ingenious new service where for just £50 a professional will style your hair and apply your make up for your night out.  Not only does this mean you can take a break from all the hassle of getting ready, it also means that your make up is done like a star’s and your hair won’t fall out of style in a couple of hours!  Best of all – you can bring your outfit so that everything can tie in really well.  

We thought this was a brilliant idea and actually finished off our day perfectly.  We’d all shopped until we dropped and so we booked appointments for all of us.  Then we spent an hour being completely pampered while our hair and make-up was done by the Fresh Style experts.  You would have been impressed – we looked like we were all going to a red carpet event!  We were so pleased with the results and everyone made us feel really welcome.  For just £50, our hair and make-up stayed the distance and we still had our lipstick on at 1.00am – not bad having been at the Academy for 5pm!

Can’t wait to use the service again, we’re already booked in for our friend’s wedding next month, watch out the bride!
