Selections from recent photoshoots

We had a slew of photoshoots in the last month or so, which we are slowly going through and using. Here a few selections, with some words from the stylists who participated.


Stylist Britney with Briana
"I had a 70s style in mind, but was limited by what the model could do with her hair while keeping her agent happy. She wanted to go lighter, which fitted in line with my idea, so we lifted her base about 3 shades, then added dome balayage highlites for a subtle, sun-kissed ombré look.

The cut was still 70s inspired but not quite as extreme, with shorter face framing layers and styled away from the face in loose waves."



Junior Stylist Paul on Jordan
"I just like bouncy sexy hair," was Paul's first response. "She looks glamorous to me, and that's how I want clients to feel once they leave seeing me." Jordan commented that she'd never seen her hair with that much bounce, before. There was definitely more movement to her than when she came in. This can be a challenge with some asian hair, which can often just lay flat. Paul kept the style soft around the face—not too curly, so it properly framed her features. Full curls near her face, he explained, would have made her cheeks look too full.



Stylists Emmanuel and Darby with Richelle
As with Britney's model, Emmanuel was limited as to what he could with Richelle's hair. She wanted to keep her length, and didn't want coloring. "The state of her hair was not the best," says Emmanuel. "A lot of what I did was cleaning it up, bringing it together, making it work." Emmanuel brought in Darby to do the final styling. Her solution was simple. A straightforward blow dry with one graceful element to set it apart.
