Wow, I’m impressed and curious. This new waving iron by Babyliss looks too good to be true, I must find one and test it out for you all. Looks like this could be the next big thing.. Check out the video on how it works!
My Pick ~ Absolutely Love it!
Dont you just love this color? Wish I could have it..
My Pick ~ Orlando Pita
King of catwalk hair and hair mentor on TV the show ‘Shear Genius”, Orlando Pita is often renowned for his elaborate and Avant garde hairdo’s. But for this Vogue shoot he kept the styles (whether wigs or their own hair) very cutesy short and clean looking.. I chose them as my pick because I find them very fresh looking.
Dekko’s Daily Grind..Trac
My client Trac is constantly changing his hair up, he goes from long to short and back to long again in no time. After wearing his hair on the longer messier side for quite some time, Trac decided he wanted to try something abit neater and more groomed looking – as in the 30’s Clark Cable look.
Here’s Trac when he came in:
We used the razor to give his course Asian hair abit more softness and movement, even though we knew we would be combing it back, we still wanted the hair to move around more so it would be easier for him to style. During the haircut we were aware not to cut the hair too short that it would be too stiff to style, we left it all slightly longer than we would have with fine soft hair. It was then styled using Cool Grease (a styling product from Japan that is water based but leaves the hair looking slightly wet but doesn’t look stiff like gel does). The hair was then combed back into place and left to dry.
The funny thing about this haircut was that Trac did not tell us he was having his hair cut for his wedding afew days later until after we finished cutting it! It’s a bloody good job it came out really well and went with his wedding outfit perfectly! Talk about being casual about it! Congratulations Trac!
Angelo Seminara – 2013
This gorgeous hair image is from a postcard advertising the North American tour for three time British Hairdresser of the Year Angelo Seminara. Also an artistic director for Davines, Truly a talented artist, just from the work I have managed to see from this great artist. Well done and we hope to catch some more of his work along the way. Lovely..
Ken Pave’s Wigs
I must admit I’m always abit skeptical with wigs and pieces for the hair anyway, so when I heard there was a collaboration from Jessica Simpson and her style guru hairdresser – Ken Paves, I really wasn’t too sure. (Sorry, nothing personal) But even I have to admit after I came across a couple of their looks recently, that they looked really good!
With this first look, (Text taken from American Salon Magazine) Ken used what he called a Hairdo Angled Cut Wig in a pale blond color. He darkened the roots with ebony brown eye shadow and then razor cut the wig to create uneven choppy layers with soft edges. He then used a volumizing spray to give it the edgy finish.
Now I really like this second look, I love the feel and idea of the whole romantic braided look.
(Text from American Salon Mag) Ken used 4 black 22’” Hairdo Straight Extensions. He clipped 2 on each side of the head, starting from the front and just above the ears in a V-pattern before teasing and clipping them into place. After adding the remaining extensions on each side of the crown and creating a center part closure, he applied a Hairdo Clip In Bang that he had lifted to platinum before teasing and pinning into place.
Now what do you all think? Would you go and buy some pieces or wigs just to have some fun and create some new looks?

Kurt Kueffner gives a good Shave and a Haircut…
Came across these strong looking images from American Salon magazine and figured it was about time I did a post for the boys!
Kurt Kueffner is a men’s barber/groomer/entrepreneur. In a time when men are looking for more than your old barber shop 5minute haircut but then are not ready to step into the beauty salon where lots of women are scary looking with their foils in the hair, we have the modern type Barber Shops. Kurt opened his Barber shop alongside David Raccuglia, named MENSDEPT. in Minneapolis and since then he has built a reputation for his great men’s work as well as their own product line.
I took afew of his haircuts from their latest collection to show you some fabulous strong work where Kurt was influenced from a very young age by the traditional Barber techniques from the past.
You have to admit, these guys look ‘Sharp”’!
And here’s a picture of the modern day Barber Shop just because I love the way it looks…. for more info on their barber shop and work check out MENSDEPT. and next time your in Minneapolis for business, maybe you should stop by..
Making a new ‘how to’ video for my new packaging…
I’m not a fan of making videos, I have still not got used to being in front of a camera trying to talk naturally, but I knew it had to be done. I have already had my new packaging for my products for about 4months now and I still have my old video up on my blog. (saved well by Robin Hong)
Anyway I ended up enlisting the help of my brilliant model Kerina, who has been the face of JujuChan so far. I figured it would look so much better to have a gorgeous face on it rather than me showing you how to use the new packaging.
My client introduced me to Graham Howes, a videographer (but he does allsorts of other useful stuff too) who efficiently helped us shoot the video and do some voiceovers that day. I just wanted to share some pictures from that fun day with you, including one of Kerina’s gorgeous shoes : )
Shot in Dekko Salon (plenty of natural lighting) with Melina De Lara (make up artist) doing a great job with Kerina’s make up, anyway I will soon post my new ‘How To’ video for you to check out, till then enjoy the pics…
Academy Awards (Oscars) Hair 2013
Here is my latest write up for Myhairdressers.com and my views on the latest and last Award Show of the season.. The big one ~ The Academy Awards! Although I must admit I much prefer watching some of the other less stuffy ones like the Golden Globes or the Bafta’s where we had some more exciting looks coming from Helen Mirren and Paloma Faith (singer)
Anyway here’s the write up… Oscars 2013
The one star that made me excited enough to even write about the Oscars Hair… Hurray Charlize!
