Alexander Turnbull created these 2 looks for the Monochrome Collection for Matirx. Wanted to share them with you. Original pictures found on Creative Head website…
My Pick ~ Simplicity
I love this simple sophisticated look. Sometimes after seeing so many crazy ‘out there’ hairstyles, its good to get back to the basics, both in color and haircut and styling.
This one is by Ari Koponen and Cecilia Nygren from the Scandi Collection:
Dekko’s Photo Shoot
Its been quite some time since we updated our website photos and I have to admit, it shows! So we finally got our act together after 8 years and arranged for another shoot to brighten up our slide show on our site.
We asked our last photographer Rob (Robert Herrick) if he would be interested in helping us out again and to our delight he was up for it. Since our last shoot Rob has become quite a’ hot shot’ photographer so we were honored when he said he enjoyed the last one so much that we could count him in again.
We asked all 10 of our stylists at Dekko to participate to help find models and to donate haircuts and color time, we decided to use as many clients as possible instead of going out hiring professional models which turned out to be the best idea because Dekko’s clients ROCK! Most of the stylists/salon support team came together and we came up with 10 models to show some salon looks that clients could relate to.
Elaine (Elaine Fujii) the make up artist which we worked with did some fabulous looks with the help of Wendi our receptionist when the other make up artist dropped out. Considering she had so many models to do on her own, we want to give her a big shout out for being such a sport.
All in all, the day turned out to be a really enjoyable smooth shoot, one of the smoothest I’ve ever been on in fact, apart from the couple of unexpected snafu’s everything went as planned and I can honestly say the people who took part that day had a fab time, so a huge Thanks to the stylists who came and of course to Wendi, Sarah and Zoie, our salon support who were great and worked the 12 hour day without a moan or groan. (well maybe just one)
This turned out to be a day that showed how teamwork really should be, with everyone helping each other with the models and I must say I was very pleased with it all. Anyway, So I’d like to share some fun pictures of behind the scenes on the day and the prep time.Stay tuned for when the real pics will be revealed to all…

Dekko’s Daily Grind ~ Kerina
Some of you might recognize Kerina from my JujuChan website… she’s been one of the faces of my Texture Powder Styler from the start and recently even helped me make my new product video for me, which was really fun.
Anyway it was time for another change, Kerina had been wearing her hair longer for a few years now and we decided to give her a medium length long bob shape. We wanted to keep the movement in it and keep it looking sexy and tousled, so we put graduation into it, textured it a lot within as well as keeping the ends soft and piecey with with razor.
If there’s one hairstyle that would tempt me to cut off my dreaded locks, this would be the one : )
Here’s Kerina Before:
And here’s Kerina After with her sexy new look:
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:
And this is after Nikki and I got to her… (sorry I didn’t take clearer pics but sometimes you just don’t have a phone/camera handy : /
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.

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!
Travel Size Texture – Coming Soon!
Yay, after working on travel size bottles for over a year and a half, I think I can finally safely say that with the help of Todi in China, I have achieved my goal. It just goes to show you just have to plod on and on. Even when I went through 3 types of leaky bottles I have stayed patient and true and have now finally got my finished bottle sample and guess what? No leakage and works well with a little pump action.
If all goes to plan I will have them to sell on here within a month, Watch out for my news…
