By Glynn Kok, Educator: Westcliff School of Skills, Cape Town Dear Industry, I am Glynn Kok, an educator at Westcliff School of Skills who facilitates our amazing learners' event with the assistance of my fellow colleagues from around the Western Cape. Artscape Theater Center gave us a platform to exhibit our learners' hair designs in the main foyer for the first time in 2019. The exhibition drew great attention from the public and hairdressing industry. What a fabulous opportunity to be part of the school's arts festival. We were overjoyed this year when Artscape invited us to be part of the school's arts festival for 2021 again. We decide on interesting themes for displaying such as Ladies & Gents cut and blow dry's, Avant-garde recycled to upcycled styles, Braiding, Hair by Night up styles and Bridal hair designs for our learners to execute. The work on display is judged by top professional hairdressers representing various sectors of the industry. We aspire to uplift and uphold the standard of school of skills in the Western Cape. Here are a few of our learners' masterpieces. Follow us for more on https://westcliffschool.co.za/ or contact us on 021 948 4877.

We are so excited to share with you the top four looks from the 2021 Hairnews Awards Best Post Lockdown Makeover. Congratulations to our Winner and Finalists in this very strong and well supported section. Winner - Betsy Giani-Pieterse - Tint Colorlab Congratulations to Betsy on submitting the winning entry. Below is her makeover story and the colour recipe she used to achieve this stunning look. “On the 28th June 2020, my client, Chante, wanted to completely change her look after realizing during Lockdown… one only lives once. I was so excited to be able to step outside of comfort and create this beautiful color concept. On Chante I de-colorized the hair with Light Master and 20vol to reach level 9. I used Matrix So ColorCult to create 2 sides of a spectrum. Cools with Warm with a holographic feel. My cherry on the cake was the stunning Violet Grey top to create the illusion of one Global color. Socolorcult formulation: Pink: Flamingo Pink Fuschia Blue: Admiral navy Mermaid Teal Smokey grey on top was 7VA And 10vol What moves me is that this look is completely versatile in any which way you want to wear it.” Love Betsy’s work? Follow her on Instagram and Facebook Our Finalists also describe their creative solutions to their challenges: Silver Award - Alexia Chrysafis - Fox and Davidson Hair Design This was a full day MAKEOVER, taking her from a grown out red to a more natural balayage as she was planning to emigrate, and wanted something low maintenance until she could find the right salon there. I started by doing a full head foliage technique with lightner and used a colour remover on the ends that were left out of the foil. Did a root melt close to her natural base colour and toned the ends. Bronze Award - Fabio Macchia - Shag High Voltage Hair Jason came in wanting something totally different, he was tired of the same results and look he has been having for a while now. I wanted to do this on him for some time now. So we went for it, my biggest concern was to hold he’s condition as we lightened. We used Schwarzkopf Blondme to lighten the hair. Followed by a cut using Diagonal Graduation along the tempural area through to occipital bone into nape, by following with so good texture. Bronze Award Fatima Sayanvala - Hijabella Hair Studio My client had requested rainbow hair. She was a natural level 3 with grown out highlites on the ends. We did a platinum card of super fine foils, lifted low and slow with wellaplex and Blondor. Then Pre- toned and colored with Wella color fresh create shades.

Representing natures' untouched and intricate beauty, Vanadey - meaning Forest Goddess - enchants us with her stories. Each image is inspired by a wonder of nature; a tree knot twisted upon itself in frozen movement, a spiderweb wet and glistening between branches, moss clumped and matted in a rambling sprawl across the forest floor, and dandelion sprouting indiscriminately as it reaches for the sun's warmth. Vanadey captures the essence of both simple and complicated beauty hidden within the small, and sometimes unnoticed intricacies of the forest. It highlights how we often undervalue, or simply fail to appreciate our own unique, natural beauty.
