Brave New World

A gorgeous collection by Frank Apostopoulos, who won Australian Hairdresser of the Year – 2013. Frank is Creative Director for BIBA Australia.

His collection is called Brave New World, and as you can see is fantastically full of creativity with an edgy dark serene feel to his work. I love it, fabulous use of real and fake hair, would be perfect for a ‘Mad Max’ kind  of movie!  Love the make up and photography too!

Text and Pictures from’ Behind The Chair’ mag

‘Brave new world. The end came and went, and this is what remains. Shattered realities, retooled expectations, re-engineered dreams. And also, a certain freedom. Freedom to explore unexpected textures; thatched, corded and tufted. Freedom to challenge the limits of shape and color. Freedom to refresh the old, conventional notions of beauty, of what “works” and what’s appropriate. It’s a brave new world and for those who have faced the unthinkable, the future begins to shine just a little more brightly. ‘

Mark Hayes ~ Sassoon’s

With the help of his International Creative Team, Mark Hayes helped creative these fantastic styles for Vidal Sassoon Academy’s latest collection ~ The Dandies!  Mark has inspired many hairstylists throughout the world in his position as the companies International Creative Director.

I’m proud to say that I too have been taught under Mark Hayes and he was one of my final test assessors, allowing me to become free to do my own thing, way back when in Leeds, England. To this day he continues to influence and was one of the contender for the British Hairdresser award 2013.

‘The Dandies takes the traditions of barbering and infuses them with a contemporary energy and verve creating a modern androgyny when boys’ cuts appear on girls’

Grey Silver Hair!

Who would’ve thought that having Grey hair would ever be hip? Well good news.. People (or should I say young hip trendy gals) are now asking for different shades of grey or silver, Woo Hoo.

Christophe Gaillet produced these great styles for L’Oreal Professionnel with his Diamonds collection… Enjoy!

Rokk Ebony’s work

There is definitely something about this first shape with the high hair and chunky sides that I absolutely love. I would wear my hair like this in a flash, in fact I think I did for a while in the 80’s. The rest of the work featured is all produced by Rokk Ebony’s Artistic Team and could all very well be fabulous wigs but very well done.

Dekko’s Daily Grind with Susie and her Color Bugs…

Susie has been a client of mine at Dekko Salon for quite a number of years now and she is just one of those cool chicks that just doesn’t have to try, she just is!

Susie fronts her band ‘The Blah Boutique’, has a respectable high flying job, dresses ultra funky and original and has a lovely personality to top it all off.

Every time she comes in, were always trying out new looks and fringes and whatever she’s in the mood for. Right now Susie’s on ‘Spockerella’ promotion!!  She wanted to combine Spock and Barbarella, Ha!  So in case you hear Spockerella mentioned out there one day, just remember you heard it here first from Susie.

Aside from being on Spockerella promotion, Susie changes her hair for every show she plays and with it comes her love of Kevin Murphy’s Color Bug. I wrote a post about dip dyed hair and color bug before for people wanting to use it for an ombre effect but as I will show you here, Susie uses it to a new level and get some brilliant looks from it.

Gorgeous looks, even though it may take the whole bug to get it : ) Thanks for the pics Susie x
