With the festive season well and truly behind us, and everyone fully refreshed, there's an exciting feeling for the year ahead,
what a great month January's been! As a Salon we've seen the launch of the amazing Great Lengths hair extensions, Nicolas been to her colour congress and has some exciting insights into what's hot in colour this year, along with some beautiful new shades of colour, Daffydds been busy with Generation Now and the launch of trend vision 2011, and ken of course is as busy as always jet-setting across the world all in the name of Hair....
Myself, i'm thrilled to bits at receiving a promotion this month to my title Assistant Director, and taking my first trip of the year to London for the Coterie, a hair professionals networking event that took place on Monday 31 St January, firstly we had a talk off Janna Jatyri a trend predictor, who gave us a great insight to this spring/summers up and coming trends, among a few this seasons big trends for women include 'Modern 50s' (streamlined soft skirts, knits, structures finger waves and polished updo's).... 70s (block colour clothes, as seen in the current Gucci and Versace campaigns,Palazzo cut trousers, and big soft curls, a young Jerry Hall/ Bianca Jager look) and for Men's, key looks include a strong ironed out wet look, as seen in the current Prada campaign along with down turned quiff's and strong combing..... one of the key things to do this year is intermix different key trends.
we also had the pleasure of listening to Luke Hersheson, from Daniel Hersheson salons, the man behind this months Victoria Beckhams front cover vogue shoot, and the creator of the Topshop 'Blowdry Bar' he has a huge passion for session styling and is the hairdresser with by far the highest number of celebrity shoots happening at the moment, as well as very successfully working the floor day to day in his booming Salon, has found a unique way of combining his two passions together,and is a truly inspiring hairdresser....all in all a very motivating and refreshing evening!x
