Session to Stylist

Bringing you the latest looks direct from fashion week, this backstage edit takes those new trends and shows you how to make them salon-friendly to keep clients coming back for more. The workshop also covers all-important backstage etiquette and what it takes to impress the biggest names in session styling. 

In this in-depth trend session masterclass, you’ll find out how to create:

• The perfect ponytail. An editorial favourite and far trickier to nail than you might think; you’ll cover a collection of high, medium, low and folded styles, then learn how to turn them into commercial looks that can be used in the salon.

• A knotted and braided hair-up look. Braids are a client favourite and this fast and effective technique will help you recreate catwalk-inspired looks in a flash.

• Faux bobs. For clients that can’t commit, this trend-led technique offers a fun and chic alternative to going for the chop.

• Hair pieces. Used regularly backstage to create elegant shapes and exaggerated updos, hair extensions and padding can be made commercial for occasion looks inspired by catwalk styles.
