''there may be bundles of it on the floor but you will still have long hair''

So, even though I've been hairdressing for 5 years now I still like to refresh my knowledge. It is so easy to fall into the same routine over and over again! To all fellow stylists- if your using that same sectioning pattern for every haircut/colour you do ... its time to refresh!! I'm guilty of this crime too! Don't get me wrong  Its good to stick with what you know will work well but if hairdressing legends never took those risks they wouldn't be where they are now!

  Anyway, every six weeks or so my work pals and I have a creative training evening with JR, former - Eastern Stylist of the year and Avant Garde Finalist. I was lucky enough to work and be trained by this wonderful character and to get a front row seat insight to the way he creates.

  My model was extremely easy going (which is always a help!) but her one wish was to keep her long hair! I  learnt so much from this little haircut and that you can really push the boundaries and end up with something exciting!- be daring and take a few risks. I wish blogging came with a 360 view because the texture had a real rock and roll feel once i was finished with it! 

As technical as this haircut was it still has an editorial finish and is do-able for the client

Comment are welcome:)

Sassoon SS13 The Muses Collection

Thought I'd add a little post of Sassoon's S/S collection. I'm always a big fan of their work and they are a huge inspiration

I'm not going to ramble on, its just mainly for the images, the gentlemen has to be my favorite image, great use of colour and texture within a really bold haircut.

Let me know what you think!!

A fine blend

Just dip dyed my friend Laura's hair. Being a fussy hairdresser its taken a long thought process to work out the best technique in dip dyeing and im so happy with how this has turned out! Rather than doing the same depth of lightness all the way through I blended it with different strengths and lightener. This way you achieve more golden through mid lengths and a brighter blonde though the ends! I think at a later date we can go even blonder but due to colour build up on the ends it was an effort to lift! Also it's cool having a gradual change- keeps it
More interesting ! I like to take my clients on a journey rather then taking them straight to the destination!
