New York Stories #3

by | Jun 15, 2017 | Education, Techniques

Sarah, a doctor in New York City, was wearing her hair pulled back most of the time – whether for work or just because she didn’t know what else to do with it. Working at the House of Bumble in New York’s Meatpacking District, Errol Douglas MBE sets her free with a short haircut that really complements her face shape and natural beauty

STEP 1
Prepare the hair with a liberal misting of Bumble and bumble Tonic Lotion. Part down the middle of the back of the head and section just below the occipital bone

STEP 2
Using a razor, cut in horizontally to remove length. You will see that by using a razor,  the ends of the hair taper off to a thinner peak – scissors produce a blunter or chunkier look towards the ends

STEP 3
Continue working with the razor to connect the sides, then use the razor to round off the edges and create an even softer result

STEP 4
Once you have cut the hairstyle to the correct length, use your scissors to erase any cutting lines and create a natural transition. Remove tiny neck hairs with clippers

STEP 5
Bumble and bumble Styling Crème adds body and manageable volume. Apply before blow-drying

“A new haircut is at once totally terrifying and amazing. In this case, it was transformational”
– Errol Douglas MBE

A frequent collaborator for the NOKI runway shows, this season @nickirwinhair turned the typical hairdressing process on its head, delivering a deconstructed salon experience that hair pros across the globe can relate to. From the layering of foils to half-finished cuts, styling clips and dripping colour, the variety of looks to hit the runway truly took the art of hairdressing to new heights. As well as Nick’s core team, members of the @schwarzkopfprouk 2023 @skpyat team were on hand to get the models runway ready. An exciting experience which immersed them in the world of Fashion Week, we have no doubt that memories of the show will stay with them for a long time to come!  Ready for more backstage action?

Come behind the scenes with @nickirwinhair hair at KWK by Kay Kwok S/S24 👀Transporting us to another planet, Nick used the otherworldly clothing as inspiration for the concept of hair barcoding. A futuristic styling detail which was perfect for the group of cool kids which hit the runway, a small gel strip was added in just one area of the hair. The gel ‘barcode’ was then dialled up or down to suit the model’s individual style. If you’re looking to jump on the trend, reach for The Jelly, The Coat and The Strong from Session Label by @schwarzkopfprouk to bring the look to life.Ready for more backstage action?
