The legendary creative hairstylist and educator Nino Bartolo recently held a cutting seminar at Wyatt Hairdressing, Milpark. This inspirational event was well attended by top hairstylists and industry leaders eager to learn from Nino’s incredibly precise approach, how to cut in a way that flatters their client’s features perfectly. Attendees found they had many bad habits to unlearn in order to perfectly execute the techniques. We snatched a minute of Nino’s time to interview him about cutting and hair fashion trends.

Harriet Franks, head colourist from Blue Tit, Peckham, UK, has analysed catwalk trends to predict what colours will be the biggest hits going into spring 2018. Here’s her third prediction – Think Ink! (Click HERE to read about Gritty Pink and HERE to read about Bronze Age.) This season, luminous colour is giving way to a far moodier vibe. Instead of highlighters, think fountain pens – deep, inky hues of petrol blue, ink and forest green. The Fendi models wore these colours for the Spring-Summer 2018 show, with this dark colour applied just to the front section, creating what beauty editors have labelled “petrol bangs”. Once again, having darker colours so fashionable in spring-summer shows is unusual but it is welcome and inspiring. Blue Tit’s latest colouring technique, Prisma, uses haphazard colour placement for a vivid, deconstructed end result – ideal for a daring client (see photo below). For clients who are nervous about trying this shade, use extensions so that they can fall in love, without commitment!

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 start of a new year is always a good time to reflect. So, it’s fitting that as stylists we consider that what defines us is the beauty we create. The greatest influence on our creative process and success lies in our colour technique. True colour craftsmanship is the ability to have perfect concentration at the time of creation – i.e. the mindful and deliberate decision for quality. The best advice I can give to colourists is: keep re-inventing what you do and make salon visits memorable for every client. More importantly, let’s stop being prisoners of maintenance. I challenge you to learn how to evolve the ombre/balayage, how to create bespoke colours, and finally, to know with absolute certainty, that blonde is not a colour it’s a way of life. Wella has been educating stylists for decades which is why we should be your chosen partner to take your colour craft to the next level. Love Theresa Advises? Like Wella’s Facebook page HERE.
