In this issue we meet a fabulous foursome of uber-talented hairdressers all hailing from the same part of the UK. Get acquainted with this successful, media-savvy bunch on page 18 as they sit down for a good old catch up in our exclusive ‘Made in the Midlands’ interview. Thanks go to Tim Scott-Wright, Michelle Thomson, James Earnshaw and Jay Birmingham (remotely) for their time and input and to LWPR for once again co-projecting with us on this locational special.
Fashion and creativity are at the very core of hairdressing and this issue illustrates just how this is demonstrated in many different ways across the industry. Firstly, the KAO Salon Division Global Creative Awards 2022 UK & Ireland Final, reported on page 11, produced some promising winners who nailed this colour competition with a super high standard of work. They now go on to represent the UK & Ireland at the Global Finals in October. Good luck to them!
We also have a feature from two successful salon colourists on page 28, talking about trends and approaching colour with confidence – their knowledge and creativity go hand-in-hand. Then something really exciting launches on page 39 as we embark on a new collaboration – Mark Leeson Directs.
Over the next few issues Mark will be sharing his vision and creativity with some rising industry talent to produce stunning work exclusively for Professional Hairdresser. Add to all this our Portfolio Collections from Angelo Seminara, Aveda x X-PRESION, Thomas Hills and the JOICO Art Team that highlight the core of fashion and creativity from the slightly more avant garde to consumer-led high street looks.
Enjoy the issue.
