''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!!

the S&S13 merge

 Hey!

Thought I'd share some of my color work from the last few weeks!

I find that generations above me are far more dramatic with their hair than us young-ens!

We are most definitely still in winter, however I try to move my clients into their spring/summer colors earlier on!

I'm working on coming away from deeper shades and merging into adding lighter slices/pieces, to give us a new base to work on when the sun hits us!!

Cutting work in first 3 pictures are by a gentlemen who I work closely with, he creates sharp, geometric cuts which give me an exciting platform to work on.

Brown&long to red&ravishing

I love my job and it never gets repetitive, around 1/2 my clients like similar styles which is great but it's also so rewarding when you can really change someone's appearance. I was so excited today when my client popped in today and requested a red bob:) I coloured it with L'oreal INOA range- an ammonia free hair colorant which is much kinder to the hair but still gives a great shine a vibrance!
