This month the torch of ‘Creative
Excellence’ is carried even further afield as
our very own F.A.M.E. Team travel to both
South Africa and San Diego with both trips
generously supported by two of our key
sponsors ghd and UNITE respectively.
Finding a minute or two to put pen to paper seems to be getting
more difficult than ever before especially as we head in to the final
quarter of 2012 and what’s traditionally the busiest time for our
profession both on and off the salon floor! Whether you’re salon
based or attending any number of awards ceremonies, trade shows
and industry gatherings this is the season where you need plenty of
energy! We are delighted to report that one of our most recent
initiatives has indeed captured the imagination of our industry – the
Fellowship Photographic Workshop. This innovative 3 day workshop
invited members to undertake their own photographic shoot with a
fabulous team of mentors led by Kai Wan behind the lens and award
winning duo Tracey Devine and Janer Stewart offering artistic
direction at its very best. One of our key supporters Schwarzkopf
played host at their central London ASK Academy throughout.
Whilst on the subject of photography – this issue officially announces
the Fellowship Signature Stylists for Autumn/Winter 2012. Tasha
Stevens of Jamie Stevens, Ian Davies of Ocean, Yesmin O’Brien of
seanhanna and Sean Tetlow of The Colour Room’s fabulous imagery
will play a role in the Fellowships’ Autumn/Winter Consumer
Campaign. As always our Fellowship message of ‘Creative
Excellence’ is continually reinforced through every single event we
produce; each of them truly embodying the artistry of our member
salons. This month that same torch of ‘Creative Excellence’ is carried
even further afield as our very own F.A.M.E. Team travel to both South
Africa and San Diego with both trips generously supported by two of
our key sponsors ghd and UNITE respectively. Accompanied by their
mentors the team will perform a series of educational seminars that
will fly the flag for both the Fellowship and British hairdressing. I’m
sure you’ll join me in wishing them all the very best of luck in what
they are sure to classify as career highlights.
As you’d expect with the UK’s No 1 trade organisation we’re right in
the ‘eye of the storm’ with our calendar of events that once again
includes an incredible line-up at Salon 2012. Look forward to
catching up with you there.

Chairman’s Review
As Chairman of The Fellowship I have the pleasure of working
with an extraordinary team of dedicated, committed, passionate
people and I am delighted that we can honour one such person
in the form of Raymond Bird. On behalf of Fellowship Council and
members I’d like to thank Ray for his tireless dedication through
his varying roles of roving reporter, magazine editor and latterly as
photographer. Sadly it's time to say adieu and to wish Ray well as
he hands over to a new group of dedicated professionals and
concentrates on several exciting ventures.
In our monthly meetings, the Fellowship Council focus on the
constant encouragement of creative success and business
growth. Having recognised that the current climate has been
a learning curve for the majority, we are aware that salons who
invest in a continuous development programme for their team on
both creative and business levels are indeed equipped with the
essential skills in order to compete at the highest levels. Our role
at the Fellowship is to ensure that we provide our members with a
calendar of events to guarantee that our members can meet this
Important criteria for future business success. Just take a look at
the success of ClubStar, Colour Project, Project X and the world
renowned F.A.M.E. Team! Ensure that you make regular visits to
our website at fellowshiphair.com so that both you and your team
can benefit from the host of events the Fellowship proffer.
Tasha Stevens
In October The Fellowship will join HJI in the celebrations
of the 40th anniversary of Salon International,
in doing so, presenting on the largest stage yet!
And unquestionably showcasing the very best in
British hairdressing talent with non stop creative
hair shows and educational presentations.
Look forward to seeing you there!

Ian Davies's sculpted box bob is made super feminine by
lifting it to a beautiful clean tone of platinum white blonde, and
by breaking up a smooth blowdry with ruffled interior texture
and cute baby doll kiss curls caressing the cheekbones.

3 Day Workshop
BY ASHLEIGH HODGES
Following on from an amazing invitation to present for UNITE in
San Diego, the F.A.M.E. Team spent a wonderful morning with team
UNITE learning all about the brand and their innovative product range.
Meeting up on a Sunday morning at the London Beauty
College F.A.M.E. Team quartet Ashleigh Hodges of Flame Hair
Studios in Towcester, Becky Hunt of Sanrizz in Southampton,
Isabella Hyde from House of Rush in Piccadilly and Ryan Harris
from Angels, Aberdeen were introduced to UNITES’ key
educators Steven and Jennifer who had flown in from the USA
especially to brief the team and a host of salon owners and
stylists who wished to train as educators of the brand.
Steven spent the morning talking through the background of
UNITE founded by a hairdresser. He then went on to explain the
different product categories, what they do and how best to use
them showing us how best to cocktail the products to achieve
specific looks, holds and finishes. We each took away some
brilliant references to absorb.
Following a break, we then met with Jennifer to discuss the
F.A.M.E. Team’s impending trip to San Diego! Jennifer was not
only able to answer a host of questions that we had, but talked us
through, step by step what was indeed expected of us at UNITE’S
GLOBAL SESSION. Each of us admit that we indeed found Team
UNITE so wonderfully accommodating and willing to cater and
address our individual needs.Everything sounded so very
exciting. We’ve since planned to undertake two cuts and two
hairdressing models and also input into UNITE’S fashion show to
be held whilst we are over there.
The best part of the day was however the presentation from
UNITE’S Managing Director, Tony White - two fabulous boxes of
UNITE products to take home and practise with! Needless to say
we are hopelessly excited and look forward to San Diego and
working with the UNITE team.
What is becoming a fabulous
annual opportunity – the
Fellowship’s Photo-Hair 3 Day
Workshop invited members to
have the opportunity to work
with mentors multi award
winning Tracey Devine and Janer
Stewart from Angels, Kai Wan
from pkai hair, Emma Donaldson
and Bernard Connolly.

Meet
the NEW
Member
Split over three days the course covered three aspects of
achieving a photo-finish.
First day undertaken by Janer Stewart and Kai Wan invited the
6 participants to bring ideas on what they hoped to achieve from
a shoot with a clear demonstration from both as to how to do hair
for a shoot, plan and execute. Opening the course Janer asked the
audience why they indeed wanted to do the shoot and what they
hoped to use their end result for. Moving on Janer led the team
through concepts, inspiration, how to put a team together
– from makeup to fashion stylist and of course how to find a
photographer, professional models and coordinate a casting.
With lots of interaction, it was a fun, informative creative thinking
day enjoyed by all.
Day two – undertaken by Tracey Devine and Kai Wan was when
members were asked to bring along their own models on whom
they would work and develop new ideas to be used at the
photographic hair day. Alongside which Tracey discussed the
merits of pr and placing the finished looks within trade and
consumer titles. Tracey drew upon her wealth of experience and
shared some strong key messages of do's and don’ts when it
came to creating photographic hair.
The final day, again undertaken by Tracey Devine and Kai Wan,
was the shoot, joined by fashion stylist Bernard Connolly and
make-up artist Emma Donaldson, each member was able to
create two looks from their model to meet their own criteria. All
extraordinarily keen to get going everyone turned up early and
contributed towards this amazing day with each both achieving
and learning so much. Tracey Devine art-directing each to create
their chosen looks and prepare them for the camera. Each student
commented on the amount of knowledge they had gained in
preparing photographic hair and how it differed from dressing hair
in a salon situation. Bernard Connolly, Fashion Stylist then carefully
chose outfits to compliment both the hair and makeup undertaken
by Emma Donaldson.
Once the total look was achieved, the model was taken through to
Kai’s ‘pop-up’ studio within the academy. Kai has an eye for
shooting hair which has led to many successful campaigns.
The academy was full of energy and a creative buzz as the models
came to life in front of the camera.
Leigh-Anne Regan
The Fellowship is delighted to
welcome Leigh-Anne Regan from the
Rachel Hammond salon in Leicester
to its prestigious membership.
How did your career in hairdressing
begin?
What has been the biggest moment in
your/your salons career?
I began my hairdressing career in Leicester when I was 16, my goal
at the time was to reach the highest level of stylist in the salon.
Everything related to fashion inspires me so a huge learning curve
for me in terms of where I want to take my career was working on
the last four seasons of London Fashion Week. I took great pride
in seeing my work on the runway. My new goal is to be the ‘trendsetter’ of the hair world – I want my work to one day stimulate and
inspire others.
What did you do next?
Once I had succeeded in reaching my goal, I felt I wanted to
enhance my skill set and look at how I could take my career into
a new direction. I auditioned and became part of the ghd art
team in 2010 a role I have enjoyed for nearly 3 years. Throughout
this time I have had the opportunity to learn from some of the
best in the industry. I also decided to move salons and take on a
new role as assistant manager at the Rachel Hammond salon in
Leicester.
Where is your salon/where are your salons?
For the second consecutive year
I have hosted the Fellowship
Photo-Hair Workshop and this
has been by far the most
inspiring of them all! This is
truly a worthwhile date for
anyone who wants to ensure
that they will rise to be one of
the new stars in the industry!
Tracey Devine
FM 10
We have two Rachel Hammond hairdressing salons in Leicester.
I work in our new city centre salon, which has been open just over
a year. The company are very encouraging to the team to expand
their roles both in and out of the salon.
What’s so special about them?
The city centre salon feels more like a studio than a salon, and
consequently the team can't help but feel like artists when we are
there! We have a very talented team, with two of us working on
the ghd team, and another on the L’Oréal id programme, there is
a lot of inspiration around for the team as well as clients.
We encourage everyone to learn and stay current on trends and
techniques, as well as providing a fantastic service we offer
complimentary refreshments which include our very own brand
of Rachel Hammond ice cream!
What’s your next step?
To become a member of the F.A.M.E. Team! To acquire a greater
skill set and make my way through the session world.programme
so it’s a very busy time!
Tell us five words to describe yourself/your
salon?
Enthusiastic, inquisitive, ambitious, optimistic, happy!
Who would you most like to meet/have met?
I've been lucky to have met and been taught by some very influential
people in our industry including Akin Konizi, Zoe Irwin and Kenna
each have really they helped me to mould how I work as a hairstylist.
I would love to meet Guido and went to an event not so long ago
where he was being interviewed and I found him fascinating and
modest – he's an inspiration in every sense of the word!
What are the best things in your life?
Is it bad to say my i pad? Ha! My family and friends are the most
honest people in my life and they are the greatest people to have
around as they support me every step of the way, work wise I’d
be lost without my iPad and my books!
Do you have a motto/does your salon have
a strap line?
I don't have a motto as such, maybe I'll develop one further down
the path.
Why did you join The Fellowship?
To learn from the best in the business and to gain a further
understanding of the industry. To give me the platform to explore the
world of hair and further my ability to succeed.

Watch the Birdie
PHOTOGRAPHS BY RAYMOND BIRD
A very sad day indeed when the Fellowship’s fabulous photographer
Raymond Bird announced to the Fellowship Council that it was time
to concentrate his endeavours on other areas.
Raymond has worked for the Fellowship tirelessly since the
70’s and has been a constant at every Fellowship event – either
as a spectator, mentor, editor or latterly behind the lens. FM
editor (who will miss him more than most), Julie Bellinger-Gibb,
caught up with Ray on one of his recent photographic
assignments.
When did you first become involved with
the Fellowship?
I first joined the Fellowship in the early seventies at the request of
Daniel Barton who overheard me whinging about our profession
at a show we were presenting in Toronto. Daniel said “If you were
to join The Fellowship for British Hairdressing – united we can
change things and we will have the governments ear.”
How do you think the Fellowship has
changed over the years?
In some ways not at all and in others beyond contemplation.
The core values are still in place but the Fellowship has grown in
FM 14
Following your editorship of FM – you have
gone on to edit your own publication. What
is it about publishing that you most enjoy?
so many areas. We could never have seen the amazing success
of the F.A.M.E. Team for example. To me that reflects the true
spirit of ‘Fellowship’, the biggest names in hairdressing today
giving their time free of charge to mentor the young members of
the F.A.M.E. Team. Also we never imagined we would be in a
position to provide such great education programs such as
Project X, The Colour Project and of course the latest initiative –
the youth arm of the Fellowship ClubStar.
Imagery and truth. By publishing images and words in our
publication ColourSoft, it is possible to showcase the work of
individuals and in doing so endorse how great either their work or
they are. The most exciting aspect is uncovering new talent which
isn’t always the most recognisable names in the hairdressing
industry, apart from Daniel Galvin OBE not many colourists
achieve the acclaim they should be credited for. Editor Tanya
Hennessey and myself have answered a niche market in over
70 countries, and through ColourSoft, salute the work of colour
technicians worldwide.
When did you swap your scissors and
assume the role of inventor?
When did you first realise that you loved
life behind the lens?
It was more of a need really! In the 1980’s I was always found
experimenting with hair colour and although I found foil was
sufficient for achieving great highlights, I needed a product that
would help me achieve the new techniques I had created. I had
found my first ingredient a re-sealable adhesive and from this I built
enough sample envelopes to do a demonstration for Pam Gough
at L’Oréal. Pam was always interested in my work and often said
“that I hid my light under a bushel”. Fortunately Pam saw the
potential in what I was trying to do and Easi-Meche was born.
My last year at school they locked me in the darkroom and just
kept the films coming for me to develop and print. However,
it was as a hairdresser when I was 18 that I was sent with my
model to a basement studio in High Street Kensington where I
was met by a very large young man who turned out to be Terence
Donavon, one of the famous three cockney photographers of the
60’s. To watch him work and achieve the finished result really
made me question whether I had taken the right career path.
What's the most memorable image you
have ever taken?
I think of all the images I have taken for the Fellowship the one I
will always remember is of our President interviewing our Patron
of Honour Vidal Sassoon. It is an image that tells so many stories.
Vidal was so ill but his pure professionalism meant that he didn't
show it. It is one of the final images taken of Vidal and it was a
great honour for me to be able to take it.
You are now handing over your role of
Fellowship photographer to some up and
coming guys and girls. In your remit what
have you told them?
As I said earlier the Fellowship has really grown and consequently
the calendar has grown with it and therefore so much
photographic work needed. It has just become too much work
for one person to undertake properly. We have mentored a
great team who are eager to take over the reins. The new team
are now equipped with the relevant technical expertise, along
with the simple facts of how to cover an event and capture
strong fashion images.
How will you be focusing your energies now?
Although ColourSoft is currently a free on-line quarterly plans are
in the pipeline to take the magazine to monthly via the
newsstands. There is also another ‘invention’ to be launched!

What do you see outside your office
window?
A noodle bar and flats.
What’s the best thing about the area where
your salon is?
The latest fabulous day enjoyed by the
lucky Fellowship Project X students was
a shoot directed by mentor Zoe Irwin
and photographed by Mo Nabbach.
“We took our inspiration from key catwalk
trends, looking at what’s coming up and
making the textures and shapes easy to
wear and beautiful. The team focused on
using product to achieve maximum shine
as heavily-glossed sleeked hair is a trend
that is big for the coming season.”
The shoot took place at the
Alan d Academy in London’s West End.
Each of the students took an active part
in designing and producing the looks,
preparing moodboards, creating images
and briefing the photographer Mo,
stylist Bernard Connelly and make-up
artist Sally Crouch.
“It was another inspirational day, Zoe’s great at
teaching the techniques but letting the group do
their own thing and they all loved it!” Karine Jackson
Uxbridge is a very historical town, with a mix of buildings dating
back to medieval times. It’s home to Brunell university and has a
strong business community.
Describe your salon in three words?
Friendly, individual and professional.
What's the first thing you do when you get
into the salon?
Have a coffee! Then go through my clients for the day and check
that the salon is ready.
What do you see outside your window at
home?
Trees, bamboo plants and lots of weeds!! Oh and a family of
foxes at the bottom of the garden.
Describe your home in three words?
Compact, comfortable and private.
What's the first thing you do when you get
home?
How do you relax?
I love to go for long walks with my three dogs, Branston, Pickle
and Lily. Or just chill with a good book and a nice glass of vino!
What's on your bedside table?
I don’t have one!
New or vintage?
If it’s a car then vintage most definitely, if its clothes then new!
Shower or bath?
A bath with loads of bubbles and candles.
Tea or coffee?
Both! A double shot of coffee in the morning, a cappuccino in the
day and decaf tea in the evening to be precise.
Meditation or conversation?
Conversation. I’m not very good at meditation; I’m a fidget and
can’t sit still long enough to meditate.
What's your favourite fragrance?
I love DKNY Delicious at the moment.
What's your favourite soundtrack?
That’s very difficult to say. I love the music in Quadrophenia and
Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Oh, and I don’t mind a bit
of sing along to Grease!
After a wrestle with three very welcoming Labradors, I check my
e.mail before putting my feet up and having a glass of wine!
What's for dinner tonight?
Watercress and pea shoot salad with peppered salami and
parmesan, with a balsamic dressing. For pudding I’m having
strawberries and cream, mmmmm!

British Hairdressing's A/W Signature
Stylist.
What’s your favourite day-to-day men’s/women’s

My favourite everyday hair product is the JOICO® Daily Care
Shampoo. It’s the first product that I reach for every morning and
it does everything you could possible want from a shampoo, plus
more. It’s a real hit with my clients too.
What’s your favourite blow-the-budget
men’s/women’s hair product?
For me, it’s got to be the JOICO® K-Pak Four Step Hair System.
There is nothing quite like it in the world, and it always outshines
other treatments. It’s completely unique and reconstructs the
most damaged of hair within minutes.
The latest instalment of this year’s Colour Project course was hosted
by none other than Fellowship President, Mark Creed and Philosophy
Hairdressing’s Director of Education, Luke Anderson.
Held at Alan d Hairdressing Education Centre in Central
London, the theme – how to work with different colours,
develop unique techniques and sell them to a client.
Beginning with cutting techniques, Luke delivered a detailed
presentation on how to use geometric patterning to create a
modern stance on timeless styles. Mark followed with a
demonstration on how to use bold colours to create a flame effect
of colour. These techniques were so simple yet instantly updated
a look to create a whole new, modern feel.
Mark explained that although it’s imperative for a salon’s business
to flourish with the development of new colouring and styling
techniques, it’s just as important to learn the art of selling a new
service in order for a client to try it! He then went on to
demonstrate highly effective ways of communicating with your
client and how to make sure they feel 100% at ease.
In the afternoon each student was given the opportunity to
practice what they had learned with guidance from both Mark
FM 18
and Luke. All in all it was a highly inspiring day that left all
involved feeling motivated and buzzing with ideas!
Tanya Hennessey “The Colour Project day with Philosophy is
always a big hit with the Colour Project students. Not only are the
duo inspirational, informative and most importantly educational, the
interaction between mentor and students is a perfect combination.
The students always come away with new, quick, effective and
exciting ideas to take back and practice in their own salons”.
“Not only are the duo
inspirational, informative and
most importantly educational,

combination.” Tanya Hennessey
Do you have a favourite hairdressing gadget?
I’m a huge fan of the Cloud Nine O. The technology it uses is
incredible and it’s great for shoots and everyday styling.
What one piece of hair advice should every
man/woman know?
Treat your hair like fabric. Whether it feels like silk, wool or cotton,
learn how your hair reacts to heat styling and work with it
accordingly. Hair diagnosis is the key to any successful hair
treatment.
How did you become a hairdresser?
I became a hairdresser by complete accident. One of my school
friend’s parents owned a salon, and I was bullied into working
there one summer. I’ve never looked back.
Whose hair have you cut and whose would you like
to get your hands on?
I’ve worked with celebrities such as Alwyn Mellor, Patsy Palmer,
Melinda Messenger and Martine McCutcheon in the past. I’m a
real sports fanatic, so I’d really like to get my hands on British
Olympic Cyclist, Victoria Pembleton. I’m in total awe of her as an
athlete but her hair is so boring!
What’s the weirdest thing a client has asked you to
do?
The most shocking thing, for me, that a client has asked me to do
is to shave their head. She was going through chemotherapy at
the time, but it was a complete shock for me. I fitted her wig on
the same day too. It’s such a personal thing to do for a woman,
and is one of the real privileges of being a hairdresser; having
your clients trust you and wanting you work with them to make
them feel good about themselves.
Do men/women tell you their intimate secrets?
The longer you work with a client, the more you find out about
them, but ultimately I try to keep it professional. I want my clients
to come back to me for my professional advice and cutting skills,
not for gossip.
How would you describe your salon?
Warm, welcoming, intimate and friendly.
Are you known for any particular style/cut?
I don’t have a signature cut, but I am known for being the person
who likes to change a style. I have a three cut rule: clients can
keep their style for three cut, but after that, I try and persuade
them to change their style for something different.
Salon music?
The music played in the salon varies depending on the time of the
day. It’s typically relaxing during the morning, but as the salon
gets busier, the music gets heavier and more robust, before
slowing down in the evenings. We don’t have MTV, we create own
playlists that change depending on the atmosphere. It’s these
little details in our service that makes us different from our
competitors.

For the past three years, growing
numbers of salons have swapped their
white or black Easydrys or their cotton
towels during October in favour of
Easydry’s award-winning eco-friendly
disposable towels in bright pink. For each
box of pink towels sold, Easydry will
make a donation to Trevor Sorbie’s
charity, My New Hair. Even more salons
are expected to join in this year.
“Breast Cancer Care wants salons to turn
pink on Fridays so everyone is made
conscious in a fun and caring way that it is
Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And we
want to help. Swapping to Easydry towels
for the day will have a big impact but
without a huge outlay and, as always,
Easydry will donate money for every bag
or box of pink towels sold,” says Anne
Butterly, Easydry’s founder and managing
director.
For every bag of 50 limited edition pink
towels sold during October, Easydry,
which last year won the Chamber of
Commerce Corporate Social
Responsibility Award in Ireland, donates
£1 to My New Hair. For every box of 900,

10 YEAR
CELEBRATIONS AT
GD ASSOCIATES
GD Associates, the graphic design
company who design FM, celebrates
its tenth anniversary this year. The
founders have decided to celebrate in
a way which will help aspiring graphic
designers to become as successful
as they have.
Co directors Ray Guzenda and Paul
Downes met on the very first HND
Graphic Design course to be run at the
Oxford & Cherwell Valley College ad
decade ago. Ray comments: “At the time
the gap between academia and the
commercial realities of working in the
media industry were huge with a steep
learning curve. We've decided to mark our
anniversary not only by celebrations with
clients but by doing what we can to help
students who are looking for a career by
offering them in-house training in the hope
they may one day be able to either join
our expanding team or enjoy a career in
graphic design”.
