We have started our countdown to Hair Expo, we have a project with O&M which i will blog about closer to the time. The team is entering the cutting comps. The guys are really working hard at choosing styles, clothes, models etc.... and the salon is a hive of activity. Its loads of fun, and a cut off, to see who is the best cutter/styler. I love the passion that is put in.

Curly Hair Expert

I have been working in hair salons for 17 years. I trained in London and specialised in colour. In all that time, in my short career in cutting, I was never really shown how to cut curly hair. And in all the amazing salons I have worked at, there was never someone that really stood out for cutting curly hair. It was a bit hit and miss, a client with curly hair would love it one cut and then say it was butchered the next. Until now.
The QUALITY of my staff is amazing. But I digress.They are all good at cutting hair and good at cutting curly hair.
Verity is leading the way in cutting curly hair. Verity has a mane of thick curly hair herself, and is doing things with curly hair that I have not seen before. The really cool thing is, the current trends for hair are moving away from straight, ironed hair back to a more natural look. So if you have curls, don't straighten them, come in and tame them. Work with the curl. That's what we are promoting. And Verity is sharing her passion, skills and knowledge with the rest of the team. Winner: Stevie English Hair clients.

Logies Hair Review-not much to see here

I didn't watch the illustrious Logies ceremony on Monday, but Mel did and she called me in a few times to have a look at hair and fashion winner.s and losers. On the whole, I was pretty pleased to see that the dead-straight blowdry look is on the way out. There was a lot of natural, loose-looking curls and soft upstyles which are flattering on just about anybody. There were no crazy, out-there styles which is a bit of a letdown but here are my three favourites:


Natalie Bassingthwaite:Simple, classy, not overdone. This is a style that probably took time and effort for the event, but would be pretty to do at home.



Dannii Minogue: Ther is no arguing about how good her hair looked. Short, sharp, modern bob. Strong colour. She is the perfect example of how a great haircut can make your look. My choice for best hair.



Ruby Rose: It was hard to find a good shot of her hair, but it's a short funky cut that has been styled just slightly to add texture. Short hair goes formal! We love Ruby.
