Sophiya Haque ~ 1971 ~2013
For those of you who don’t know her, Sophiya was a talented actress, singer, dancer and presenter, as well as a wonderful funny gorgeous human being. I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Sophiya during her MTV Asia/Channel V stint as a VJ in Hong Kong in the 90’s.
Since her VJ days Sophiya went on to star in many of London’s West End Musicals. ‘Bombay Dreams’ (by Andrew Lloyd Webber) was the musical afew of us old friends were able to last see her star in.. Fantastic and Brilliant Show. She also had a role in ‘The Wanted’ with Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy to name afew.
For more details on her story …. Sophiya Haque
Sophiya passed away last night to the shock of many friends and family around the world. At 41, she was way too young with way too much to offer still. With only several weeks notice she was diagnosed with cancer and died suddenly but peacefully in her sleep.
Sophiya was fun, she was adventurous with her hair and she allowed me to create and try allsorts of styles. If it didn’t work, we would try something different but we worked together for many years and she trusted that I would always make her look good. As my tribute to her I am showing you my favorite styles that I created on her back in the day.
You will me missed by many… Heaven will be welcoming one hell of a sassy chick! Love to you beautiful Sophiya, we’ll never forget you <3
Golden Globes Hair 2013
Here’s an article I wrote for MyHairdressers.com website. Filled with my views on the Golden Globes Hairstyles. I wouldve loved to have had abit more say and added a few more good and bad hair but alas you can only say so much with 500 words right?
Moroccan Oil Luminous Hairspray
We have been using this line in Dekko Salon for quite some time now and so I have had time to play around with a lot of the products. I’m not usually a fan of hairspray as I usually prefer a texture spray at the end so that you can still move the hair around and I don’t normally like the stiff lacquered look that most hairsprays leave you with.
Anyway along comes this Moroccan Oil line and in with it is this Luminous Hairspray. It come in 2 strengths Medium Hold and Strong hold for however much hold you need. I have been using this spray on a lot of clients and what I find quite amazing about it is the fact the spray leaves the hair with a lot of shine, especially on long hair where usually the ends of the hair looks dry and over processed. It also allows you to move your hair around, as it is soft and flexible on the hair. No stickiness either!
Picture shows the strong and medium hold and one of the original packaging.
Extract taken from the Moroccan Oil brochure:
To use: Hold the can about 10inches form the hair and spray.. For extra volume, it can be sprayed on the roots before styling the hair. Can be brushed out easily without weighing down the hair and provides a reflective shield of sine that fights frizz and humidity.
My Pick ~ For Vera Wang
You just cant go wrong with long romantic looking loose braids can you? Love it when its unstructured (of course, you all know me by now, nothing too neat and tidy) and slightly wavy giving it an unkempt look, very sexy!
Soo Joo Park
Soo Joo Park is a model from South Korea who is fast becoming a huge hit and the next big thing! (if not already) She is based in New York and has worked for many global magazines from Vogue to Elle and lots of stuff in between.
As we all know from other models like Linda Evangelista and Tao Okamoto (the famous bowl haircut), changes in haircuts or hairstyles can bring attention to that model. This is the case for Soo Joo Park who bleached her long black hair platinum blonde.
I came across her on Instagram (thanks to Nikki) where I spotted the chameleon model sporting all sorts of gorgeous shades of color as well as totally different looks. So, I decided to showcase some of my favorites , although I must warn you that there were a lot of favorites so hopefully I don’t overdo it here. Anyway enjoy the many looks of this edgy in- demand model of the ‘Now’!

Romantic Braids..
I know I have already done a post about braids but I came across these pictures with these lovely romantic looking braids from Modern Salon magazine and wanted to share with you..
The hair was styled by Vivienne MacKinder who is the founder of HairDesignerTV.com as well as being Fashion Director for Intercoiffure America-Canada.
‘This collection features a blend of fishtail braids, three-strand reverse and three strand rope braids, using strategic placement of Simplicity hair extensions and combining backcomb, blending and combining different shapes enhanced by push-pull effects. Vivienne was eager to bring romance sophistication and softness to braids in this Modern Collection as they can often appear beach or juvenile.’
‘There is a true art to Braiding, demanding great dexterity and skills, Its all about fashion that stands out, yet fits in.’ says MacKinder.
