Eastbound by Dmitry Vinokurov

East Bound
’Dmitry Vinokurov’s latest collection for Wella Professionals plays up structured styling and loud bursts of color.
West meets east in Dmitry Vinokurov’s take on Fusion—a 2013 Wella Professionals TrendVision category. The collection, seen exclusively on these pages, blends an Asian experimental spirit with Western high-culture to create fashion-forward looks. “Elements such as origami and Samurai helmets were our inspiration for some of the intricate designs,” says Vinokurov, who worked on the photo shoot with fellow artists Alexey Ladnov and Denis Skakunov. “Japanese prints and sakura blossoms were major influences on our color palette and placement,” Vinokurov adds. ‘

Leopard Print Hair for JPGaultier, Paris Couture Fashion Week..

Report by:
BY CHRISTINA HAN

‘Everyone, Jean Paul Gaultier has an announcement to make: More leopard print. Exemplified at his couture show, the French designer decked out hats, fur coats, floor-length dresses, clutches, and even wrists in the jungle print. Nothing was safe, not even models’ hair, which were be-speckled with the animal’s signature spots. While some heads sported sleek, aerodynamic twists, topped off with hats in various conical shapes, those without headgear got sky-high ‘dos. Swirly and sculptural.’

Hair by the brilliant Odile Gilbert who I chronicled in this past post..

Green Hair Fad?

I’ve been seeing a lot of Green Hair around lately, Is this the next craze or something? Anyone else liking it or do you, like me, think green is a tad too over board? Don’t get me wrong, I love all different hair colors but for some reason, Green is a hard one to like..

Maybe my problem with the Green began when I actually had green extensions in my hair while I was living in Hong Kong. (I must’ve thought it was OK then, to actually have them) Anyway that was when I used to teach hairdressing to local hair students, one of them came up to me one day and said..’Missy, did you know that if you have green in your hair, it means that you’re a lady of the night’!!!! Ah ha, no wonder I had been getting funny looks, I was giving off signs that I was available for the night..Well, out came those extensions right away, and I’ve never looked at green hair the same way!

Anyway I did manage to find and pull up afew green locks that I actually DO like, that don’t make them look like swampy green monsters, even though I have a sneaky suspicion a couple of these could be photo shopped!

My Pick ~ Cute-ish

This haircut was done by Tyler Johnston who is Ambassador for Schwarzkopf. A cute bob shape with blunt and soft edges combined. Color makes it pop by what looks like slices added throughout the layers. Fairly simple look but quite cute –ish. (I know ~ I’m not fully committing here)

Dekko’s Daily Grind ~ Shelley

Just wanted to show you a quick makeover on Shelley who came in recently to have a change in color as well as a slight change in the style of fringe.

Shelley had never really tried having a fringe before so we gave her quite a heavy one so it could keep the slight wave in her hair weighted down more. We also put a lot more layering into the rest of the hair so the curl would bounce up much more.

Color wise, Jodi took the color from a coppery shade and lifted it up to a beigey blondey shade which is very flattering to the complexion. Great look Shelley all round : )

Dekko’s Daily Grind ~ Lilac Belle

My lovely goddaughter was thinking of chopping all her hair off like Charlize Theron’s so I suggested that she colored her long blonde hair Lilac before she did the chop, And Yay, she agreed!

Dekko’s own lovely colorist and co-owner Jodi Ninomiya offered to do the color for her, so Belle came into Dekko for her makeover.

First I want to show you Belle’s hair before, here she is with her blonde slices, this was the base for the Lilac to go in..

Jodi added slices/panels of deeper purple in foil and used a pale Lilac shade to cover the rest of her hair up, here’s the lovely colors used and showing you while it was on the hair…

And here’s Belle with her gorgeous result, sorry the photos are abit dark, end of the night! Thanks to Jodi for staying so late to make Belle so cute, funky and Lilac…

OK Belle, next you can cut it all off and I’ll show you that too as I’m sure it’ll be just as adorable!

Cosmogony by Trevor Sorbie

Adam Szabo and Mai Ha from Trevor Sorbie UK, created these lovely fantasy styles for their latest collection named Cosmogony. Featured in ‘Behind the Chair’ magazine, I would like to share these very creative works of art with you.

Extract from magazine: (although I must admit I find the wording abit too airy fairy, sorry Trev )

‘This collection adds brand new words to the hairdressing vocabulary. Patchwork, Crevicing, Ridgeplay, Crenulation, Otherworldly and Geographic.  It stretches the limits and blurs the lines between hair and substance, reality and imagination. It reminds us that sometimes its best to destroy all that came before, and let the next era rise from the ashes. Because don’t forget, once upon a time, it all began with a single, mighty, big bang.’

My Pick ~ Black and Red

I love this picture, the haircut, color and styling is so strong and vivacious. Great angle for the photography too. I wish I could give credit where its due and tell you who did the work but alas I came across it online  in a beauty website called beauty-zone.org.

Well, whoever did this should be pretty proud of this one, well done..
