It’s with deep regret and sadness that we mark the passing of one of the world’s greatest artists, and one of our very own Patrons of Honour; Vidal Sassoon CBE. Many finely crafted words of heartfelt condolence have been written, detailing and charting the huge impact this man had upon our industry, and having had the privilege to meet and interview Vidal last year, I can vouch for every last piece of copy that’s been published in recent weeks extolling his undisputed passion for both our industry at large, and our very own Fellowship for British Hairdressing. Vidal was a true icon both within our industry, and further afield. He was a shining beacon who represented our craft as ‘the authority on all things hair’ throughout the fashion revolution of the 1950’s, right up to present day. Sadly there will never be another Sassoon, much in the same vain as there will never be another Henry Ford, Steve Jobs or Pablo Picasso. These men were all true icons; paradoxically in the old-fashioned sense of yesteryear, true innovators whose names live on in our daily lives and for us as hair professionals, in every section we cut and colour in salon. Likewise there will never be one 'name' or individual that carries and represents our craft single-handedly in the way that Vidal did. In fitting testament and legacy to Vidal Sassoon, (and our other Patrons of Honour) the Fellowship’s ability to share the artistry of our membership was always his mantra, an educational based philosophy that has ensured the UK is number one in creatively focused hair. More and more wonderful events such as Salon International, Professional Hairdresser Live and as you’ll see in this issue, International, Professional Hairdresser Live and The Tribute Show, all reinforce that our shores are the place to be for any fashion conscious individual that's in the business of hair. Here at the Fellowship we now see more independent artistically focused events than any other organisation, events that always epitomise our strap-line ‘Creative Excellence’ and pass the creative-baton throughout our fine membership. By virtue this weekly activity is the finest salute we can give to our recently departed Patron of Honour, who sadly lost his battle with Leukaemia on 9th May 2012. Our love, thoughts and wishes are extended to his wife Ronnie, and their three children. Mark Creed President Chairman’s Review It was with great sadness that we heard that our highly esteemed Patron of Honour, Vidal Sassoon CBE has lost his courageous battle with Leukaemia. It was therefore very fitting that last December at the annual Fellowship Luncheon and Awards the Fellowship's President, Mark Creed honoured Vidal with a Fellowship first, the Ultimate Hair Icon Award. Vidal's vision, passion and creative zest coupled with his continuous campaign for education, training and personal development new no bounds. In presenting this award The Fellowship saluted sixty years of hairdressing brilliance. Whilst honouring Vidal with this award, we also launched another Fellowship first, The Fellowship Scholarship. In association with the Sassoon Academy and sponsored by Denman International, Hairdressers Journal and Professional Hairdresser this fabulous opportunity will reward one candidate with a once in a lifetime opportunity to undertake a one month intensive training course at Sassoon's London Academy. On behalf of The Fellowship I would like to extend our congratulations to Joe Kinerman-Daltrey on being the fortunate candidate. Read all about him on page 20. David Drew Chairman FM 03 FM 04 The Industry Mourns the Sad Passing of Vidal Sassoon CBE It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Vidal Sassoon CBE. The 84 year old hairdresser sadly lost his battle with leukaemia on 9th May, 2012. He became the most celebrated hairdresser in the world having begun his career as an apprentice during the Second World War going on to revolutionise an industry through his iconic haircuts, salons, schools and product lines. Our profession owes this man a huge debt – he was prepared to take a risk and do things differently. Vidal we salute you. Mark Creed The fact that Sassoon is still such a force in the industry today says a lot about the vision of an incredible man. Edward Hemmings It was a total honour to have met Vidal many times throughout my career. We use many words to describe people that have left this world – but Vidal Sassoon was a Global Creative Genius who revolutionised the hairdressing industry and will continue to do so. Vidal was charismatic, humble, a visionary, amazing orator, but above all – he was a gentle giant and the most humble person I have ever met in our industry. Beverly C , MBE A revolutionary and a fighter, in the truest sense of the word. His genius and passion radically changed our profession for the better. Alan Richardson Vidal’s passing is a massive loss to our industry, he was a pioneer and an inspiration to myself, Clive and Paul. Never before has one person done so much for our industry. He will be sadly missed. Akin Konizi Vidal has been a life-long inspiration on my work. Vidal’s vision and energy has not only changed the face of hairdressing forever but has been a life-long influence on my work. As a person he had an incredible gentleness and a generosity of spirit that was very special. His influence and presence will remain with us forever and I will honour him both as a friend and a hairdresser. Tony Rizzo How can I write a small tribute to Vidal Sassoon when this amazing man was a giant in the hairdressing world? I have had the privilege of knowing Vidal throughout my hairdressing career and the world will never see another one of his kind. God bless Vidal. Herbert Howe “Our industry has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. The world rarely encounters someone who had the profound impact that Vidal had, everyone in the industry is indebted to Vidal’s courage and singleminded vision, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come. All of us at Sassoon will miss him dearly, and will honour his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much.” Mark Hayes, Sassoon International Creative Director FM 05 So many people have asked me how my career has been influenced by Vidal. The real question is ‘Who in the hairdressing industry hasn’t Vidal Sasson influenced?’ The answer is no one. Vidal Sassoon was and always will be the first global ambassador for the hairdressing industry. He brought credibility and defined, shaped and influenced not just hairdressing but fashion. One of my fondest memories is sitting next to Vidal on a flight bound for New York. He was one of those people that you could learn so much from and who would influence your whole career just by having the briefest of conversations with him. One of Vidal’s mantras was that you must leave your mark, which he has certainly achieved. Errol Douglas MBE He was a true Gentleman, a Pioneer that made British hairdressing the best in the world. He will be sadly missed. Gary France I feel honoured and privileged to have spent time with our hero Vidal Sasson CBE. He will always be remembered for his inspiration and for being a true Gentleman. Debbie G Vidal invented the cutting system in the 60’s the principles of which every hairdresser in the world today takes for granted! David Drew What can I say that hasn’t already been said? 20 years of inspiration not only professionally but personally. I will miss the laughter the most and the bad jokes. John Vial A great man, and a great life that really made a difference. Rest in peace Vidal your work is well documented and archived, it’s influence to be seen everywhere. My thoughts are with your family and friends at this very sad time. Raymond Bird There aren’t many hairdressers I can think of whose death would make headline news on both sides of the Atlantic; the fact that Vidal’s passing does, just demonstrates his cultural influence on the whole world. The word icon is banded about a lot these days, but there are few people in our craft whose iconic status has been palpable on British worldwide culture in so many areas – music, fashion, photography – Vidal Sassoon influenced all genres. The fact the salon and the clients are all feeling a great loss sums up his amazing body of work and just how he helped change the world in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Sassoon was the first great ‘brander’ and regardless of his amazing technical and creative output, we shouldn’t forget his business brain and ‘never say never’ attitude. He believed anything was possible in hairdressing and he was right. Richard and Hellen Ward FM 06 There are not enough words to say how much I and the world wide hairdressing industry owe to Vidal. He changed the whole concept of how we not only cut hair, but how women looked, introducing a sense of freedom to them and their hair. I feel both humbled and privileged to have worked for him for 10 years and was proud to call him a friend. He truly is the greatest mentor and inspiration that I or any other hairdresser could ever have. Rest in peace Vidal, you will always be with us. Stephen Messias Vidal was the man who made British Hairdressing the best in the world. It was a privilege to have met him. He will be remembered for a long time. Ann Herman In lieu of flowers the family has requested that memorial donations be sent to American Friends of The Hebrew University in support of The Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Anti-Semitism- 11500 W. Olympic Boulevard, Suite 512 LA CA 90064 or www.afhu.org. A service will be planned at a later date. Session Success for The Fellowship! The Fellowship for British Hairdressing hosted a fabulous session workshop for ten lucky students on Monday 30th April. “I enjoy all the Fellowship workshops – but this one has been especially inspirational” Lou Bowles, The Point The event held at Wella World Studio, London was hosted by compere, Fellowship Vice President and International Art Director for Toni & Guy, Gary France and Fellowship Events Chairman Ann Herman. Introducing the five incredibly talented Fellowship Masters: Andrea Martinelli of HOB Salons, Kathryn Dartnell of Haringtons, Alessia Matta of Sassoons, Dan Spiller of Marc Antoni and Sara Paintin of Mahogany, Gary commented: “Tonight is all about sharing the secrets of session success.” Proving that laying strong foundations were the perfect pitch for session work the Masters were unanimous when it came to the strength of the pony tail. Each attendee was shown how not to just style a pony – but to use it as a foundation for up to 10 different strong fashionorientated looks which they were then able to recreate. The workshop was cited a huge success, the students each taking away a new skill alongside an abundance of fresh inspiration. Gavin Hills and Holly Taylor from Hensmans both agreed: “It was a great evening!” Takuya Morimito and Katie Fitzgerald of Brooks and Brooks added: “It has been a pleasure to share ideas with others – a really great event.” The last word went to Ben Reilly of Balmain who said: “It’s been the best evening of ‘learning’ I’ve ever had!” FM 07 Meet the Pr Project X has been branded ‘The Ultimate Hairdressing Finishing School’. An action-packed year of education with the help of a roll call of big names from all spheres of hairdressing ensures that each of the students start their journey to the next level… AMELIA EVANS Russell Eaton, Leeds, Age 19 SIOBHAN JONES I joined Project X because I wanted to build my confidence, improve my skills and find new opportunities in the industry. It’s been fantastic so far and I especially enjoyed the shoot we did at the Bedhead Studios. Headmasters, Putney, Age 26 I'm a colourist so joining Project X was a great way to focus on new skills like cutting and styling and to get out of my comfort zone! I also love platform work and want to push my profile within the industry and Project X is a perfect way to start. I loved the day we did with Zoe Irwin and Harriet Evans focusing on how to brand myself. Great to meet such inspirational people too. MATTHEW EVANS Goldsworthy's, Swindon, Age 27 I'm passionate about the hairdressing industry and I joined Project X because I know it's a great platform for your career and offers fantastic opportunities to work with great names. I love working with the rest of the group, too. For me, there’s nothing better than being surrounded by like-minded people who are enthusiastic and willing to share their knowledge. My highlight so far was working with Danielle Harvey at Sassoon's – I stood up all the way through – probably a bit too close for comfort – but I learned so much! “Project X really covers everything that a progressive hairdresser needs to know and equips the team with the skills and experience needed to further their careers in the hairdressing industry.” Karine Jackson, Mentor FM 08 oject X Team TOM GILLING (JAMIE) HARRIETTE CALVERT Clipso, Watford, Age 22 Mark Riley, Huddersfield, Age 23 Project X is a fantastic opportunity for me… I have a real passion for cutting and dressing hair and would love to get into session work so this is a great platform. I’m learning loads about editorial hair and getting the chance to practise my new skills on the photoshoots. It's great fun too! I wanted to join Project X to get as much experience as I can in all aspects of hairdressing, to gain exposure and to work alongside some really talented hairdressers. So far it’s been AMAZING. Everyone on the course is great and we learn loads from each other. I especially enjoyed the day we did with Zoe Irwin. Listening to her story was inspirational. LISA COLLINS STACEY MORGAN Maxwells Professional Hair and Beauty, Biggleswade, Age 23 For me being involved in Project X has been all about stepping out of my comfort zone, gaining in confidence and learning more about technique and trends. My passion is cutting and my highlight so far has to be the day we spent with Danielle Harvey from Sassoon’s – she's fantastic! Maxwells Professional Hair and Beauty, Biggleswade, Age 23 I absolutely loved the photoshoot we did with Project X. It really helped me to learn new skills and understand what looks good on camera and I can't wait for the next one! Project X is a great way to become more professional and to gain the confidence to challenge the rules and be more creative. FM 09 CLAIRE BONNEY Headmasters, Soho, Age 26 I'm a colour specialist and I love my salon work but I wanted to be part of Project X as it really opens doors on new opportunities and gives me the chance to expand my skills – especially in session styling and platform work. Presenting is nervewracking, but it gives me such a sense of achievement, and by practising every month I’m really improving and gaining in confidence. ROCHELLE CAREY The Hair Advice Centre, Egham, Age 20 I joined Project X because of the amazing opportunities it offers, and the mentors I get the chance to work with. My best day so far was working with Debbie G on presentation skills. It helped me so much and it was nice to find out I'm not the only one who's petrified of talking in front of a group! I’m so excited about the rest of the year… We’ve got some amazing Project X days coming up. KELLY COOK Goldsworthy's, Cirencester, Age 21 Goldsworthy’s has always been involved in Project X and I’ve loved seeing others go off and do different things, so when I got the chance to get involved myself I jumped at it! I'm passionate about lots of elements of hairdressing but especially session work. I love it! You can be so creative. I’m hoping Project X will help me to improve my presentation skills and my confidence and I’d love to be on the F.A.M.E. Team one day – Project X is a good way to prepare. My highlight so far was the photoshoot at Bedhead mentored by Karine Jackson – AMAZING! ASHLEY GRAHAM Trevor Sorbie, Manchester, Age 21 I'm really keen to open more doors in my career, to broaden my knowledge and to find new routes I can go down within the industry, so Project X is perfect for me. I'm also passionate about precision cutting and we get lots of opportunity to learn from the best during our Project X year – I’m so looking forward to our next session with Mark Hayes. What an opportunity! I very much enjoyed working with and learning from the rest of the group and seeing what we can achieve together too.

The Big Picture offered salon professionals the chance to learn new ways to boost their brand and promote their business incorporating the latest PR methods and trade tips. The course was hosted by Council member and Managing Director of Flint PR, Harriet Evans. Harriet was also joined by a power house of PR professionals including Julie Bellinger-Gibb, Gorgeous PR, Sam Grocutt, Essence PR, Julie Allen, Jools PR, Laura Glazebrook, LWPR and Lisa Bickerstaffe, JWPR.

The day was skilfully led by Harriet Evans ensuring that all who attended were there to listen and learn and under no pressure to know anything beforehand. All the attendees had the opportunity to put forward any concerns about their business and the PR panel offered them a multitude of ways in which to combat the current economic crisis and push their businesses forward amidst this crisis. Highlights of the day included interesting discussions on the relevance of social media to the hairdressing industry and a stunning visual presentation of award winning hairdressing collections. “The workshop was very inspirational. I’m taking away with me great and achievable ideas to boost our branding. I will definitely be readdressing what we're already doing and looking at ways to move it forward as a result of today”. “The workshop was very inspirational. I’m taking away with me great and achievable ideas to boost our branding.

It is so good to hear from people who are at the top of their game and know how to help us move forward with ours. Fantastic all round!!” The day was a raging success and everybody left the course feeling inspired and motivated. More importantly the audience left with the right skills and knowledge to tackle their marketing and PR problems themselves. This was extremely empowering for everybody and essential for any business or professional wishing to succeed in such a fast paced industry. Sarah Morissey from Sarai Hair & Beauty commented FM 11 HAIR COLOUR: IT’S A PASSIONATE Passionate about its latest colour launch and her colourful career, Schwarzkopf Professional Global Colour Ambassador, Lesley Lawson, talks to FM about her career, consumer trends and the art of hair colouring... Schwarzkopf Professional has been offering professional colour expertise for more than 100 years, unleashing the colour creativity of stylists all over the world. Having just launched its latest colour innovation, IGORA ROYAL Fashion Lights (available in six fashionable shades) FM started this interview with Lesley by asking her for her thoughts on this asset to her colour palette... What’s so special about the new IGORA ROYAL Fashion Lights? They create expressive colour irrespective of the client’s base colour, guaranteeing intense contrasts and lift, even on dark or tinted bases. They integrate lift and colour in one step, delivering optimum radiance and great colour intensity, as well as outstanding hair condition and suppleness. They’re just so easy to use and achieve exactly what they promise: lighten and colour in just one step. Precise, vibrant and long lasting, they give me complete confidence in the result, so I can concentrate on my client and the technique I want to use. What makes working with Schwarzkopf Professional so exciting for you? I’ve been working with Schwarzkopf Professional for eight years and there have been lots of highlights, especially the creative processes developing and presenting the Essential Looks collections. The company always allows me to keep my creative freedom, so I can truly express my love and passion for colour. And it really listens to the hairdressers’ needs, responding by staying ahead of the game FM 12 and developing innovative products. What is so special about Schwarzkopf Professional colour brands? The range allows you to satisfy the needs of all salon customers. ESSENSITY for example combines a highly convincing colour performance with the power of nature. BLONDME offers beautiful clean tones and is a real premium expert for blonde. And with IGORA ROYAL, colourists can achieve the most stunning, long lasting vibrant colours that reflect perfect luminosity. IGORA ROYAL is the company’s largest permanent colour; why so? Performance and result – the most convincing reasons for hairdressers to work with any product. It presents an extensive range of beautiful shades which simply raise the bar when it comes to performance and convenience. In short, what does colour mean to you? Colour is life and my passion because it has the power to significantly influence peoples’ appearance. The right hair colour choice adds beauty and radiance to a person; it complements and completes their look and has the power to give women confidence. And hair colour can often turn a good haircut into a stunning and outrageous haircut, especially if you use the new IGORA ROYAL Fashion Lights which offer colourists the maximum of creativity and innovation. Why did you specialise as a colourist, what makes the job so special? The great thing about colouring is seeing a total transformation at the end of the process. And I love the fact that unlike cutting, where you take something away from the client, with colouring, you are adding something fashionable and beautiful. What is the most important aspect of a colourist’s education? Learning the technical and scientific aspects of hair colour as well as the products’ functional qualities. If you are aware of this, then basically nothing can go wrong. And gaining experience really counts; the longer you work with colour, the better you get. I also recommend that hairdressers should try to gain as much experience as possible outside of daily salon work, such as working on local fashion shows and events or by attending external seminars and photo-shoots. What talents does a good colourist need? Your biggest talent should be enjoying what you do – you need to have fun at work! Being a colourist also means you need to be up to date with new trends in colour and fashion. Be open minded and interested, good with people and give great customer advice. And never underestimate the technical and scientific aspect of the work – you need to be a master of this to create the right results. What are the trend colours for 2012? Hairdressers and colourists must keep up to date when it comes to trends, which is why I love working for Schwarzkopf Professional’s Essential Looks collections. It’s where we translate the twice-annual catwalk trends into a commercial reality for hairdressers and their clients all over the world. Trends inspire us but they BUSINESS constantly change. So the most important thing a colourist should always have in mind is the hair colour complementing skin tone and eye colour before settling on a new look. And finally, how do you ensure the hair you’ve beautifully coloured remains that way until the client’s next salon visit? I always recommend care products that match the needs of coloured hair, such as the new BC Color Freeze line. Formulated especially for coloured hair, these products give up to 90% colour retention and 100% colour shine between salon visits. Most importantly, beautiful hair is healthy looking and well groomed. Someone’s hair is like a business card for their personality; it’s a real statement and it’s our job to colour it beautifully and advise people how to look after it accordingly. That’s what we do best! The company always allows me to keep my creative freedom, so I can truly express my love and passion for colour. And it really listens to the hairdressers’ needs, responding by staying ahead of the game and developing innovative products. FM 13 Meet the Colou The Colour Project is the programme to be part of if you've got a passion for hair colour! This 12 month intensive programme meets every month for a dedicated educational seminar and a hands-on masterclass, all performed by some of the very best colourists within our industry.

I was very fortunate to assist Billie Cargo for Colour Project and realised then that I wanted to be a part of it. I love being surrounded by equally passionate hairdressers that I chose Colour Project for the challenge. I’m excited to be learning new techniques and skills and be in a position to relay them to my team in the salon. It's a jam-packed itinerary with the privilege to be learning from the best of the best in the industry.

I like the fact that it's undertaken in a variety of situations with a variety of people – it covers such an extensive range of colour it's incredible. Colour has always been my ‘thing’. Being able to be as creative as you like, taking inspiration, getting your own ideas and then putting them into practice. I love achieving things that stand out!

Exclusive ClubStar Evening Event with Andy Smith of John Carne CLUBSTAR SPONSOR 2012 Andy Smith, UK Ambassador of Schwarzkopf and Art Director at John Carne, and Senior Stylist Mari Ajakainen take to the stage to showcase the Schwarzkopf Essential Looks Flux Collection at the Schwarzkopf ASK Education Academy. The evening consisted of a series of live demonstrations on stage with 6 models, displaying everything from avant-garde hair ups through to strong haircuts and beautiful colours presented to an audience of ClubStar members. A VT was also shown of the spring/summer trends and it was an inspiring and personal evening with Andy presenting and working on his models throughout. Lisa Rylett from KJM Salons commented, “As always Andy did an amazing show, jam packed with lots of vibrant and inspiring demos. He crafted some cropped styles with simple techniques that were very effective. Alongside Andy on stage was Mari, sculpting long tresses into stylish updos, a feast for the eye”. Rebecca Strange from Q Hair & Beauty in Chichester added “Andy was amazing, really down to earth and friendly. He was full of useful tips in styling from turning a funky look into a salon friendly hairstyle. Loved the styles and hair up. He taught me a lot about styling and keeping everything fun. Really good night and inspirational. Thank you!” FM 17 BY JOE KINERMAN Strong bold lines for ClubsStar from HOB Artistic Team ClubStar members were treated to yet another great show from the HOB Artistic Team. Eclectic trio, Darren Bain, Faye Turner and Jake Ungar demonstrated why HOB are a salon group at the top of their game. CLUBSTAR SPONSOR 2012 “My team came away from the HOB event having learned a lot about how they work and what amazing styles can be achieved. They felt very welcomed and at home and were bursting with new techniques on their return.” Kerry Mather owner KJM Salons The presentation of fantastic haircuts offered up all the usual style and finesse HOB are famed for, whilst always delivering a new angle to work with. Within the strong bold lines highly recognisable as HOB, a softer more feminine texture was incorporated within the perimeter of the haircuts to allow a more wearable, client-friendly look to fit in with the current street fashions. The team decided to keep the theme as simple but highly effective, proving that strong technique coupled with the more disciplined approach often produces an overall more comprehensive look, be it on clientele or in more creative work. The evening reminded us all that the fundamentals are key to any haircut we strive to achieve. Great evening – nice mix of cut and colour. Both informative and inspiring. Jessie D'elaine – Michael Barnes The HOB Artistic Team put on a great inspirational show; demonstrating their latest techniques in cut and colour. As always the standard of quality was excellent and kept the audience mesmerised with their impressive array of show-stopping models. Everyone came away buzzing and filled with inspiration to bring back to the salon. Arash Moghaddami – Karine Jackson Catherine Gray – Hug8 My team who attended really loved the evening. They returned to the salon so inspired and so excited – proving that ClubStar membership is worth every penny! One of the team was so inspired she had decided that this is definitely the type of hairdresser she wants to be! Rom Sartipi - Charles Worthington FM 18 The evening with HOB was of course nothing but great. The team went through quite a few different colour and cutting techniques, techniques which I had never attempted and since then I have been inspired to try new things in the salon. The main thing, or person should I say that I found inspiring was Jake – he’s a similar age to me, has been qualified roughly the same amount of time as I have and is doing so well! That to me is a role model. He explained things as if he wasn't a hairdresser teaching a room full of hairdressers – he was very easy to follow and full of innovation and interest. My Working Day Anita Cox McMillan She thinks on the run and dreams of sunshine. Anita Cox McMillan, co-owner of the CoxMcMillan salons in London and Schwarzkopf Professional International Colour Ambassador, gives us an inside view of her 24 hour day. My alarm goes off at... 7am every morning and it always takes me by surprise! The first thing I do when I wake up... Gather my thoughts then armed with an energising Darphin cream, I head for the shower. On an average day I wear... I like to dress neat but chic for the salon: usually an Armani skirt, Wolford black tights, Nicole Farhi top and I love Jimmy Choos. My skincare and makeup regime consists of... My essential salon products are... Blowdry my hair, apply Environ eye cream and moisturiser then get going with MAC makeup – it’s my favourite. I couldn’t get by without using Schwarzkopf’s OSiS+ Upload, Style Shifters 1 Liquid Texturising Spray and [3D]MENSION Molding Wax. Before walking out of the front door... Grab my phone, iPad and make sure the dogs (I have two Weimeraners) are safely at rest in their beds in the kennels. I leave the salon at... It changes every day but sometimes not before 9pm; I’m always finding things to do. After leaving home... After dropping off my three kids at school – Kyla who’s eight, Maddox who’s six and Sienna who’s three – it takes about 40 minutes to drive to the salon which gives me time to make least four much needed phone calls in the car (safely via Bluetooth). My favourite way to wind down after work is... Brandy and diet coke on ice, drunk through a straw. If I’m staying in I’ll wear... Lounge wear all the way for me... onesies preferably. On my way to work... Make a mental list of things to do that day. At the moment I’m sorting out the shoot for the new Big Brother commercial – we’ll be doing all of the models’ hair for it. And if I’m going out I’ll wear... On my to-do list today... Cleanse off my makeup using Liz Earle and a whizz round with my Braun electric tooth brush. Glam up in something delicious by Vivienne Westwood. My bedtime beauty / grooming regime is... Not too challenging a list today: update some contractual lists and buy new uniforms for the salon assistants. The last thing I do before I go to sleep is... I spend the morning... Doing my clients; I have a very loyal clientele – a very varied and interesting bunch of people! Make sure I’ve closed my iPad. I dream about... Sunshine! For lunch I usually eat... Nothing too heavy, usually something light such as a tuna sandwich. My perfect Sunday consists of... A classic Sunday roast – preferably cooked by someone else! FM 19 The Fellowship Scholarship in Association with Sassoon Academy is awarded to Joe Kinerman-Daltrey! At the Fellowship for British Hairdressing Luncheon & Awards it was President, Mark Creed’s honour to announce Fellowship history in the making. In celebration of Fellowship Patron of Honour, Vidal Sassoon CBE, the Fellowship Sassoon Bursary was to be presented to a young deserving hairdresser. Announcing the Scholarship Mark commented: “There is no finer beginning for anyone wanting to make their first mark on the world of hair design.” 16 hopefuls attended the interview which took place at Sassoon Head Office on Wednesday 16th May. Each applicant was asked to bring their portfolio and answered questions about themselves, their hairdressing passions and ambitions to a panel of judges including Fellowship Chancellor Gary France, Fellowship’s Ann Herman, Hairdressers Journal Publisher Jayne Lewis-Orr, Professional Hairdresser Publisher Nicola Shannon, Pr for Denman Jacki Wadeson of JWPR and Edward Darley from Sassoon. The winner was Joe Kinerman-Daltrey of Strangeways, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex. Speaking on behalf of the Fellowship Gary France said: “The criteria for the scholarship was threefold: to find someone with a minimum of 4 years experience on the salon floor working within a Fellowship salon, have a strong foundation in haircutting and be in a position to take a 4 week sabbatical with the full support of their employer.” Edward Darley speaking on behalf of Sassoon added: “The Sassoon Scholarship has been developed and designed to be contemporary, relevant and forward thinking. The course will be honed and will be delivered with passion, commitment and technical excellence at the Sassoon Academy, ensuring that not only will Joe gain real commercial skills, he will also take away a piece of the culture that created Sassoon.” The month long course will cover all the bases needed to provide Joe with a fast track to hairdressing success. The nature and content of each stage will develop as Joe progresses, however a few things will remain constant in that he will receive personal guidance and mentoring from a Sassoon Academy teacher throughout all the work sessions. FM 20 “I never thought I’d be the one chosen for the Scholarship – and being chosen by some of the top people in the industry just makes it even better. I just hope I can do them, the Fellowship and the industry proud.” Joe Kinerman-Daltrey On hearing the news of the scholarship Joe commented: “I never thought I’d be the one chosen for the Scholarship – and being chosen by some of the top people in the industry just makes it even better. I just hope I can do them, the Fellowship and the industry proud”. Joe’s boss, Martyn Holmes of Strangeways said of Joe's win: “Joe has worked tirelessly since joining Strangeways five years ago, constantly striving for excellence and never once resting on his laurels. Joe has high aspirations and I have no doubt that he will grab this opportunity and run with it. I am excited to watch Joe's career flourish. He is certainly set for great things!” Apart from the Sassoon Salon Intensive 4 week course at the Sassoon Academy in London, Joe also received a Denman tool roll and associated pr opportunities with an estimated value of £10,000. The Fellowships thanks go to Sassoon Academy, Denman International, Hairdressers Journal International and Professional Hairdresser for financially supporting this ground breaking Fellowship initiative. up’an’ comin’ The stars are shining for Joe KinermanDaltrey a member of the award winning Strangeways salon in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.

FM 21 Fellowship News Round Up... BY ANN HERMAN DARREN READ HAS THE X-FACTOR FOR FINALIST LAURA WHITE! Darren Read from seanhanna, Wimbledon was personally requested by X-Factor finalist, Laura White to style hair hair for her debut music video, shot at Elstree Film Studio, Cathedral. “The music had a melancholy feel to it so I worked closely with Laura to create a grunge effect with an element of elegance. I backcombed the crown section to create height and a dishevelled texture then tonged the hair, which was blended into Balmain hair extensions to give body – into groomed, tousled waves” said Darren. The amalgamation of ‘rough’ and ‘smooth’ texture looked interesting on screen and worked well with the moody tones of Laura’s makeup and clothes. Darren’s charm and skill for creating amazing hair styles from concept to reality really impressed Laura, who told FM: “I loved working with Darren because he totally understood the ambiance of the video and was able to create a style which reflected that. Continuity is vital in videos in order to get the mood across on screen for authenticity and Darren certainly had a hand in that. I look forward to working with him again on future projects.” RICHARD WARD HAIR AND METROSPA DESIGN CATWALK HAIR FOR JENNY PACKHAM Cristiano Basciu, Artistic Director at the Richard Ward Hair & Metrospa and a selection of the salons art team were invited by L’Oréal Professionnel to create FM 22 the hair for English designer, Jenny Packham’s fundraising event at the Four Seasons Hotel, London.
