Let’s be honest. We all have that one drawer. You know the one—it’s full of tangled wires, a crimper you haven't used since 2004, and a pair of straighteners that smell a bit funny when they heat up.
Well, here at Hair In The City, we are giving you a very good reason to clear it out.
The GHD Trade-In is Back in Merchant City
We are thrilled to announce that for a limited time, you can bring ANY old electrical hair styling tool into our High Street salon and receive an instant £100 discount on the brand new ghd Chronos or ghd Chronos Max.
GHD Cronos
GHD Cronos Max
Does "Any" really mean "Any"? Yes. It doesn't matter if it’s a GHD, a different brand, or if it doesn't even turn on anymore. If it’s an electrical hair tool, it qualifies.
Mini-Guide: Chronos vs. Chronos Max – Which One Do You Need?
If you are trading in your old tool, you want to make sure you are upgrading to the right one. Both stylers use the new HD motion-responsive™ technology for one-stroke styling, but they serve different hair needs.
1. The ghd Chronos (The All-Rounder)
Best for: Short to mid-length hair, or fine to normal thickness.
The Vibe: This is your versatile hero. If you like to switch between dead-straight looks, bouncy waves, or curls, the standard plate size gives you the control to do it all.
Why we love it: It delivers high-definition shine and is nimble enough to get right to the root.
2. The ghd Chronos Max (The Time Saver)
Best for: Long, thick, or curly/coily hair types.
The Vibe: This features wide 43mm plates, which cover more surface area with every pass.
Why we love it: If styling your hair usually feels like an arm workout, this is the one for you. It powers through thick sections faster, cutting your styling time down significantly while keeping the damage low.
Why the ghd Chronos? As a salon that prioritises the integrity of your hair, we are huge fans of the Chronos. It uses HD motion-responsive™ technology. In plain English? It reacts to how you style, maintaining the perfect temperature so you get:
One-stroke styling (faster mornings).
High-definition shine (that "glass hair" look we love ).
Less breakage compared to older tools.
Why Swap In-Salon Instead of Online? We know you can buy GHDs anywhere, but there is a reason our clients in Glasgow prefer doing this face-to-face:
Instant Gratification: No waiting for delivery vans. Walk in with the old, walk out with the new.
Try Before You Commit: Unsure if you need the standard Chronos or the wide-plate Max? Come in, have a coffee, and let our team show you which one suits your hair goals.
Support Local: When you buy from us, you're supporting a local Merchant City business.
