The collection was inspired by a new global and dimensional version of Very Peri, the Pantone color of 2022, suggesting a dynamic of metallic tones presented with different shapes and angles. Color inserts are formed to provide different accents in the tonal blocks, enriching the result and offering very visual and creative images. The textures gain in expressiveness, and the contrasts between color, headdresses, and finishes break with the predictable.

As with any trade, it takes thousands of hours to achieve mastery, and while I don’t yet see myself as THE master stylist, I am certainly humbled and grateful for the Master Stylist recognition from Wella. “In the fast paced and high energy industry, the words “I can’t” never features for me. Learning from everyone around me has been my driving force. I have always asked, “Let me show you something, then you show me something”. The aim is to always be better than yesterday, no matter how amazing you were. “The difference between failure and success is perseverance, only when you stop trying, you will fail.” Hairdressing has given me an amazing platform to share and live life BIG.” BEST DAMAGE FIX-UP BEFORE AND AFTER Thelma De Klerk Owner of Collab Hair in Bedfordview Thelma has been in the hair industry for 12 years and loved every moment of it!
