THE<br />
CAMPAIGN<br />
Grant Norton<br />
WE WOULD LIKE TO extend a huge<br />
congratulations the newest <strong>Australia</strong>n Men’s<br />
Hairdresser of the year, evo’s very own<br />
Education Director, Mr Grant Norton.<br />
Grant started his hairdressing career at the<br />
tender age of 14, working his way up the<br />
ranks from ‘Saturday boy’, to managing a<br />
handful of Toni and Guy stores, progressing<br />
into creative director and then making the<br />
move across to evo.<br />
Grant’s role with evo allows him to be<br />
involved across the board with both<br />
education and creative projects, for such a<br />
creative and passionate individual, it’s the<br />
perfect combination. Working on the floor<br />
at Boris The Cuttery in Adelaide one day a<br />
week, also allows Grant to interact with ‘real<br />
clients’ and keep his skills set current and at<br />
the highest standard.<br />

The Campaign<br />
features varying<br />
lengths, textures and<br />
individual shapes, with<br />
underlying tones of<br />
anti-establishment.<br />
My inspiration was a<br />
simple and consistent<br />
military style jacket. In<br />
true military fashion<br />
everyone’s uniform is<br />
the same. But, unlike<br />
the military, hair is<br />
not dictated, in the<br />
Campaign, one shape<br />
does not fit all.<br />
