Ksubi, RAFW 2010

Ksubi, one of the most famous clothing labels here in Australia, it's the hipsters choice. When Verity said she was going to be doing hair at Ksubi, all the staff were dying to assist. Ksubi is cooler than cool, and as they have not shown in a few years there was a lot of buzz and excitement around the show.
The hair brief was "Centre part, everyone had their hair extended with wefts (fake hair) and cut straight" and if you have seen models hair you know that's hard! Went with a geometric, sixties vibe. "28 models, not enough time to prep hair, HELL WITH THE LID OFF!!" said a very tired but clever Verity. Some times the most simple looks can be some of the hardest to pull off.
Verity was just one of the team directed by Jon Pulitano.

Hair and Sharks

Hairy sharks don't normally go, I've never seen one, nor do I want to but...
Stevie English is proud to support Dead Sharks ain’t Art, an arts event and auction raising funds to stop all forms of shark slaughter.

As an environmentally friendly salon, we are concerned by the fact that threatened and endangered sharks are killed for their fins off the coast of Australia in huge numbers. Already 90% of the world’s sharks have been wiped out.

To show our support, we have donated some hair cut and blow dry appointments for the live and silent auction. Other major prizes include specially commissioned artworks and a weekend for two scuba diving.

If you would like to join us on Tuesday please RVSP below, entry is free and drinks and nibbles will be provided. All money raised will go towards the NCC’s work for the greater protection of sharks and their habitat.



When: 6.30pm – 9.30pm, Tuesday 11 May, 2010
Where: Mori Gallery, 168 Day Street, Sydney

Camilla & Marc Oz spring/summer 2010

Quite often in fashion shows, doing hair for 20 models in a short time can be rather challenging, so the hair is kept quite simple. For the Camilla & Marc show it was "dry textured, rough, and with a low pony". A ponytail can be the undoing of a hairdresser, it is not as easy as it looks, especially done well! I have seen many a hairdresser struggle to do perfect one, and with added time constraints it's tough work! ) Thankfully Verity, Kirsty and Jade are wizards at this and to have them passing on this knowledge to younger staff is great for our future, and Stevie English Hair.

Seventh Wonderland Australian Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010

So This week in Sydney is Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, and Verity and Raquel are out of the salon working on shows. We are going to be giving Verity's tips on how she created the looks for designers over the next few days. Most of it is going to be for the hairdressing nerds, but hey, we like to keep you informed. At The English: "Knowledge is Power".

These photos here are from the Seventh Wonderland show. "Hair was heavily gelled and section by section, working from the nape to the forehead, it was smoothly wrapped back and forth against the head. Front sections directed forward and then swept up and back in the crown sections. The very front/top sections were sculpted wet onto the face and flowed around the sides and onto the neck. The finished look was wet, modern, 20's/50's skull bathing cap. Was really beautiful with the swimwear",said Verity.
Love your work V.

Australian Fashion week 2010 And Hair

We are often asked to do shows and events, we have loads of things on this year and half the staff are going to be out doing shows during Fashion Week-the first week in May. But the first cab off the rank so to speak was Kirsty who was Hair Director for Justine Davis. Justine has been a fan of ours for awhile and we are huge fans of hers. Kirsty was up for many nights creating lots of hair pieces for Justine's models and looks. I know it was a big day with 5 strand braids and a young team from the English to help. Great work Kirsty.

Charity in Glebe

We try to help our local community whenver possible. We often offer free haircuts to the local schools as raffle prizes, and another charity we like to promote is the Wheelie Warriors. It's a group who offer motorbike rides to kids in wheel chairs, they are awesome and it's great for the kids.
