In the bag: Domenico Casella

We’re taking a deep dive into the kit bag of senior salon stylist, colourist, and session stylist Domenico Casella to reveal the essentials tools and products he uses to create show-stopping looks

Scissors

“My scissors case is always with me – 5”, 6.5”, thinning scissors and razor. Working on fashion shows can be very unpredictable and most of the time we are facing last minute changes. The easiest way to step out from the box is to be prepared.”

L’Oréal Professionnel Paris TECNI.ART Pli

“This product is a life saver! It’s always a great ally when it comes to hair preparation. It gives texture and volume to thin and inconsistent hair. It’s a great foundation to start with, and it’s never too sticky or too crispy. This product is key when you want to layer different products in one look.”

L’Oréal Professionnel Paris TECNI.ART Liss Control

“This is my go-to product when working on hair with more texture. It is incredible when I need to smooth curly and frizzy hair but still protect the hair from the heat.”

Up-do box 

“This box contains every single type of pin, grip, mini elastic, hook band, and clip, in every colour and size I might need.”

Neville Hair & Beauty’s Natural Bristle Wood Brush

“At Neville’s we designed these amazing brushes, with natural materials, which are not heat conductors. They are very respectful when it comes to the health of the hair, but still perform incredibly. The natural bristles can close every single cuticle of the hair, giving an extra shiny finish.”

Hair extensions

“If I’m working on set or backstage at a show, I always pack some hair extensions in different colours as you never know when you will need them – I have all bases covered with clip in extensions, or temporary bond extensions. When it comes to a catwalk show, or a photo shoot, length and volume are never enough!”

BaByliss PRO Curling Iron

“This is a great tool, and a must-have in my kit bag! You can create different types of movement, effortlessly, and it is especially effective when the time is very limited during a photoshoot or backstage.”
