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. ‘

Dekko’s Daily Grind – Katie

Katie’s been a client of dekko’s for a while now and she usually keeps her hair color around the same shade of reddy brown. We were inspired by a look  we came across a while ago mixing black with brown, so our colorist Nikki decided to change Katie’s hair up and apply this same color combination on Katie’s new look with the heavy fringe.

Here’s afew of  Katie with her before hair and color:

Jo Bellamy Salon

Beautiful vibrant collection from the Jo Bellamy Salon, Australia.. Love these!

Words From Style Icons:

The Couture Punk collection by Jo Bellamy Salon displays a sense of rawness contrasted with soft silhouettes which represent a more modern and feminine approach.

The colour is the hero of the collection, provides light and shade to define movement and draw the eye to the fall and shape of the style. The colours are vibrant; a kaleidoscope of shades which meld together seamlessly.

My Pick ~ Blue Bob

I tried so hard to find this haircut color combination without all the text/font on top of it but I don’t think this magazine is letting loose of it yet, hence here it is in all its glory complete with American Salon on top of it. But you get the idea.. I loved this look so much I couldn’t resist. Such a cute color and cut combination by Ricardo Dinis for Aveda. The choker is cool too may I add.  Ricardo is Global Director for cutting, not sure who did the color though but its blooming gorgeous!

My Pick ~ Two-tone

I love this hair cut and color combination. Simple bob style, razored to make it look like she’s cut her own hair, which is what makes it looks so hip and cool! I also love the combination of the grey hair with the blonde ends. Not sure if this is a case of hair growing out with the leftover blonde tips, but hey, that’s exactly how Drew Barrymore made the ‘Ombre’ such a big hit. Regardless I love the look.

Angelo Seminara

One of the hairdressing greats that I admire so much, Angelo is the Artistic Director of Davines (Hair product line) as well as three time British Hairdresser of the year winner. Here is another collection of his that I wanted to show you all, because this is a demonstration of how great he is, with his ‘Mother Of Pearl’ collection.

In this collection Mother of Pearl comes into focus as a brilliant shimmering cut and color combination. By strict definition, it’s the iridescent layer of material that forms the shell lining of pearl oysters and abalone. These looks show the interpretation of Angelo working with international creative color ambassador Edoardo Paludo.
