COLOUR CATEGORY EXCENTRIC CAPE TOWN - FLORIN-CHRISTEN NEACSU I started my career in 2007 with my brother, Soso, a top stylist in Romania. Being very passionate about the science behind the hair and the techniques that define perfection with precision, I started to attend over 30 international seminars. Some of them were in London, at Vidal Sassoon Master Academy, Toni&Guy, Artist Academy and Wella Romania, but also Wella South Africa including Wella Master Colour. My biggest achievement is when I manage to create extreme beauty out of ordinary. WHO IS YOUR HAIRDRESSING HERO? Silvia Salerno WHAT IS YOUR FIRST SOURCE OF INSPIRATION?

There are several things that are missing in your plans for the future, so now would be a good time to think carefully about your ambitions and how to carry them out. You could achieve the most amazing things that have always just been in the back of your mind. Think also about how this could be instrumental in attracting The One. Get on with it… SAGITTARIUS 22 NOV – 21 DEC If you’re at the famous game of finding The One (again), now would be the time to use what passes for a brain with you. You have so many choices (this is where the trick lies), you can’t pick on someone who is already involved. The same goes for using sparkling eyes to attract someone at work. Bad, bad idea. Also time to look at finances, as you need to be slightly frugal for now. CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 19 JAN Time to be nice, Cap, if you want that famous job you’ve been waiting for. Under no circumstances can you even show one sign of impatience. Wait it out, you may be hugely surprised at what is offered to you in the end. Love life could be better, but right now you have to concentrate on the job thing without – please note – stressing your partner half crazy. Give it a go, Cap! AQUARIUS 20 JAN – 18 FEB You have a list of things you want to do, the greatest of which, of course, is taking over the world. Oops sorry, but no banana … Concentrate (can you spell this word?) on the thing that has always kept you going, trying to reach the top. Top of what? We don’t know, but you do. You may come across a very interesting person soon, one who is on the same path as you with this. Hooray! PISCES 19 FEB – 20 MARCH So much of your anxiety about the future is actually nothing to worry about. For some strange reason, the Universe is looking down at you with kindness in its eyes. How about you relax, open your arms and say “Send it! Please!” (and don’t forget the huge “thank you” afterwards). Your partner’s with you in everything you do, so try and practice a bit of patience now and again … ARIES 21 MARCH – 19 APRIL You’re doing the best you’ve done for a long time, Aries. You haven’t killed anyone, blown up any buildings or started any fires. BUT – there is something waiting for you that, sooner or later, you will tackle. Pay attention to your talents and you may be truly inspired and surprised! You won’t be disappointed, as long as you can put a lid on the infamous Aries impatience. Keep going. TAURUS 20 APRIL – 20 MAY You have to consider changing your path a bit, no matter how that makes you stress. This appears to apply to something that could end up making some much-needed money. Think carefully before you tackle this, as your partner may have some valid points to make about you diving into something you know very little about. It’s an opportunity for Rich and sort of Famous. GEMINI 21 MAY – 20 JUNE All of a sudden, people are looking at you differently. Don’t run! It’s good news. You are going to give somebody excellent advice about something, and gee, look at that! You are inundated with people who hear about it. Look at both of your Gemini sides and realize that you can negotiate very well (as long as you can keep your temper). Your partner will be impressed as never before. CANCER 21 JUNE – 22 JULY There’s something you should be doing that you are not, Cancer. What you are doing for a living is grand, but you can be doing a whole lot better. Think, think, think, and ask advice before you tackle it. Pay attention to suggestions and consider everything. There’s something waiting, and the Universe and all are paying close attention. Love life is a bit slow, give it some thought. LEO 23 JULY – 22 AUG Suddenly life picks up at a rate that truly takes you by surprise. This may involve a whole lot of people, those creatures that you are so smooth with when you feel like it. Keep feeling like it! You could end up making a name for yourself besides the rude ones that frustrated people do in the background… You have strength and energy, don’t waste these gifts that others would kill for. VIRGO 23 AUG – 22 SEP You’re so good with money, don’t you think you could do a bit better? The problem being that you cannot let it take over everything. (What are we saying, Detailed Virgo?) Never mind, you’re just around the corner from meeting someone who thinks like you, Detail Deluxe! So, combine the two and get rich and famous and enjoy the way your minds are so alike. Everybody run! LIBRA 23 SEP - 22 OCT You’re suddenly very popular again for some reason. Now is the time to apply yourself to making the right decisions about who you want as friends and who you would rather avoid. Do this without sharp objects, just walk away and let contact slide away quietly. Job looks good, just keep your concentration going and keep your eyes open for the one who can’t keep his/hers off yours…
