How Freelancers Can Get Greener

Anne Veck and Keith Mellen, winners of Most Wanted Sustainable Hero 2021 & 2022, update their sustainability toolkit for independent stylists

by CAITLYN | CONNECT

Who says going green costs more? Anne Veck and Keith Mellen are here to bust that myth with their freshly revamped sustainability toolkit, tailor-made for freelance stylists, solo hairdressers and those based in co-working spaces. Not only is this toolkit packed with eco-friendly tips, but it’s also a surefire way to save money, boost profits and make your business stand out. 

Their latest offering is a re-imagined, freely downloadable toolkit packed with practical tips and advice on how to make your hairdressing routine greener without compromising on quality or style. 

This tool is designed to help stylists adopt eco-friendly practices that reduce waste, save energy and minimise their carbon footprint. It offers suggestions for quick wins, like reducing water usage or switching to sustainable products, as well as next steps for those ready to make bigger changes, like switching to green energy suppliers or adopting more ethical haircare brands. 

Whether you’re just starting your green journey or looking for fresh ideas to build on your existing eco-conscious approach, this toolkit is a must-have. It’s all about small, manageable changes that, together, can make a big difference.

Creative HEAD’s Most Wanted And It List Winners Have Been Announced

Who took home the coveted trophies? 

by JOANNA | CONNECT

It’s Creative HEAD’s biggest night of the year, and the 24th Most Wanted and It List Grand Final, held last night at cultural hot-spot Beams in East London, did not disappoint. All our favourite people in the same room together for one glorious party? Hell, yeah! There was champagne. There was dancing. And as expected, every guest looked the part, with each fit as big as the next. 

Of course, the reason for this annual get-together is to celebrate the very best talents in our industry. Last night we unveiled the 2024 It List in association with ghd – six sensational trailblazers aged 30 and under. And then came the 16 artists, activists, innovators and business leaders who each took home a Most Wanted trophy. And a standing ovation for Lisa Farrall, who was awarded Most Wanted Legend status for her work with textured hair.  

 These hairdressers are breaking glass ceilings, setting new standards (including sometimes in ways we don’t expect) and overhauling our industry bit by bit to steer it towards a newer, more exciting future. Things are changing in British and Irish hairdressing. Take a look at our winners to find out why.

HeadUp X Calm

Creative HEAD is thrilled to announce tickets are on sale now for the 2024 Most Wanted and It list Grand Final, where 22 trophies will be bestowed.

Taking place on Monday 2 September, hairdressing’s ‘hot ticket’ event moves this year to Beams – a brand new lofty East London location by the River Thames, which has already played host to big brands like Bentley and Converse, and globally acclaimed DJs including  Skepta and The Martinez Brothers. Launched as a centre for new culture, the authentically preserved former warehouse is now getting set for our gathering of the industry’s greatest – to witness the spectacle of 700 A-listers from the worlds of hair, fashion, the media and beyond dressed up to the max – coming together to celebrate the crowning of 16 Most Wanted and six It List winners.

Over the years, as well as platforming the most accomplished and exciting talents in British and Irish hairdressing, the Most Wanted and It List Grand Final has welcomed to the stage comedians like Katherine Ryan and Jack Whitehall, beatboxer Mr Fox and drag act, Sync The Pink. Working with the most stylish caterers in town, the event is always fully loaded with sensational food and drink – only the coolest offerings make it onto our Grand Final menus. Our photography and video teams are everywhere on the night, capturing every minute of every magic moment – including exclusive content for our souvenir supplement (featuring imagery from our specially commissioned and now famous Grand Final photo shoot).

From doors open to guest departure, we work hard to make sure every single Grand Final attendee is having the most wonderful time. The icing on the cake? Everything is included in the ticket price (including the after-party bar) – the only reason to bring your wallet is for the taxi ride home.
