The final two judges for the L’Oréal Colour Trophy South Africa have been revealed – the iconic Bertram K and Jack Howard will be assessing your work, together with Sophia Hilton, Matthew Collins, Min Kim and Berni Ottjes. Bertram K For this hairdressing legend, haircutting is his vocation and passion. He works intuitively to transform his visions into reality, inspired by art, movies, music and travel. Bertram K became art director in just two years during his time with Toni & Guy, and has worked backstage at fashion shows for Dior, Helmut Lang, Issey Miyake, Balenciaga and more. Bertram works internationally for L’Oréal Professionnel, and teaches the “Bertram K Method” of using positive energy to cut hair in an uncomplicated and efficient way. Jack Howard With a host of A-list celebrity clientele, hair colourist and educator Jack Howard is credited with originally bringing balayage to the UK. A L’Oréal Professionnel UK Colour Spokesperson and Global Ambassador who is based at Paul Edmonds salon in between his travels, he teaches hugely popular courses worldwide. His intuition and creative eye go beyond seasonal trends when it comes to developing natural, soft and effortless looks for his clients, that stand the test of time.

We love the soft, beautiful result which makes the client’s skin tone glow, and brings out her features. Here’s how Brekkels achieved this: Meghann came in with a level 6 virgin hair that hadn’t been coloured in 5 years. I did fine foils with Wella Blondor and 20 Vol. (Focusing on the hairline, placing them further from the scalp towards the back) After rinsing them I free-painted sections from the root with Wella Illumina 5/. (The Illumina adds shadows and contouring without doing a full coverage tint.) 50 Buckingham, Craighall Park, Jhb. Tel: 083 642 4180. Like their Instagram HERE.

Your shears have two very important components - the 800 mm radius and convex edge. This system will maintain both. Call me and I will come to you. (Gauteng area). Tel Marion: 082 852 6545. Sharp scissors can mean the difference between a genius cut, and a cut that doesn’t look quite right. Watch this inspirational video to see what super-sharp shears can do, on a super-slick gent’s haircut!

“The Choices We Make...” The incredible Color.Me range is born from Kevin Murphy’s vision of fusing session work, fashion and hair colour. This compact colour line delivers high performance, natural-looking results, and optimum colour functionality. An artful blend of gentle and “from the earth” ingredients naturally moisturise, rejuvenate and impart incredible shine without having to further compromise the environment. • Easily identifiable shade families • Well thought out packaging for quick identification • Spectacular performance and results • Very natural looking reds, allowing you to create formulas that look and feel real • The Clear tone gives a “lip gloss” effect to hair, like sun coming out of a tube “What goes inside the tube is just as important as the colour it creates. The choices we made are PPD-free, ammonia-free, and naturally derived ingredients like aloe vera, honey, shea butter and pomegranate.” – Kevin Murphy “We are making a shift to eco-conscious, less chemical, cruelty free colour and are beyond excited that KEVIN.MURPHY colour has arrived in South Africa. We are blown away by the colour results, shine and condition we got and can’t wait to share it with our clients.” Mop Hair, Cape Town "Color.Me is a mind blowing range. It is compact, yet so diverse. The honey based formula is high performance and multi tonal for the best possible natural results. 100% grey coverage, and remarkable lift in the bleach range, which plays the biggest role for any stylist. I am quite an environmentalist, which makes this PPD-free, ammonia-free and naturally derived brand the colour for me.” Neveah Hair & Beauty Studio, Pretoria “The magical Kevin Murphy color range. Without any sulphates or parabens, this leaves hair silky and hydrated.” Spoilt Hair, Cape Town Why should your salon use KEVIN.MURPHY?
