president’s 

Terry Calvert interviews the new 

Vice President – Bruno Marc Giamattei 

As President of the Fellowship for British Hairdressing, I’ve created a series of interviews with members of the Fellowship Council as I feel 

that it is important to introduce fellow members to the team that make the Fellowship tick. As new to all the regalia is me – is my brand new 

Vice President – Bruno Marc Giamattei. Bruno shares this role with Mark Creed who I will be interviewing in our next issue. 

TC Bruno as my new Vice President, what 

does that mean to you? 

BG It was a surprise, came totally out of the 

blue – but a role that I accept and will 

undertake to the best of my ability. To be 

elected into this role is indeed an honour – 

doesn’t it also kind of measure my 

popularity?! If so – I will have to make sure 

I don’t get too big for my boots! 

TC You have been a member of The Fellowship 

for 12 years, but recently you’ve become more 

active on the council and now F.A.M.E. Team 

manager. How are you finding this role? 

BG Would have loved a job description 

prior to my acceptance of the role – having 

said that – hand on heart, I’m enjoying it – 

and I’m learning a lot too! These guys have 

such a fabulous fabulous opportunity – it’s 

amazing – I thought we’d be out and about 

at least once a month but more often than 

not it’s once a week – so it’s a lot of time and 

commitment on everyone’s part. They are 

still young and they need guidance so they 

need my constant support and amazing 

organisational skills! Seriously though – we 

are only in May – and they’ve already done 

a shoot with Andrew O’Toole, they have an 

Art Director for the year who is the highly 

credible Errol Douglas MBE, at the end of 

the ‘phone, had days with Tim Hartley, 


Robert Lobetta and Angelo Seminara and 

the fabulous Bruce Masefield at the Sassoon 

Academy – plus so many more 

opportunities with fabulous artists such as 

master of the fingerwave Leno d’Aprano - 

incredible stuff. We have also been invited 

to Australia again for Hair Expo and 

possibly have an opportunity lined up for 

them at HAIR WORLD in Paris in 

November. So I’m finding the role pretty 

fulfilling to say the least! Good job I’ve got 

I’ve got three amazing guys 

back at the ranch who are all 

really good at what they do 

three amazing guys back at Marc Antoni, 

my brothers Simon, Marcus and Aaron that 

are letting me get on with it! 

TC It’s a pretty tall agenda, which nobody 

seems to realise – so you’ve got your brothers 

back at the helm but how do you find time to 

manage the F.A.M.E. Team and run a 

successful group of six salons? 

BG I don’t! As I said I’ve got three amazing 

guys back at the ranch who are all really 

good at what they do. I’ve always been the 

creative one that undertakes all the imagery, 

shows and presentations on behalf of Marc 

Antoni – so don’t actually think they miss 

me on a day-to-day basis too much! I’ll have 

to make sure there’s a job for me to go back 

to! Seriously though, I’ve got my work cut 

out for me – I’ve got great support in my 

office and have invested in a blackberry to 

aid the lines of communication! 

TC What’s been your most exciting time with 

the F.A.M.E. Team to date? 

BG Although quite strong individuals – the 

toughest lesson of them all has been to unite 

them as a team. So I was pleased with the 

result of their debut presentation to the 

ClubStar audience at the Wella World 

Studio. For me that was the first time they 

sang from the same songsheet. 

TC Having managed the F.A.M.E. Team for 

six months now, if there was anything you 

could change – what would that be? 

BG I’d have taken a sabbatical from Marc 

Antoni for 2 years! Seriously though – as the 

F.A.M.E. Team’s presence has grown and 

grown with the help of the PR support over 

the past few years, I was amazed by the 

offers from iconic hairdressers and 

manufacturers to help support the team in 

terms of education. 

As I said earlier, what 

initially started as a 

one-event-a-month 

programme – could 

easily turn into a oncea-week-programme 

– 

the hardest thing for me 

is to where to draw the 

line as all the invitations 

and opportunities we are presented with 

are ones that I know the F.A.M.E. Team 

would like to experience. 

So going back to your question – I’d have 

changed the fact that I literally said ‘yes’ to 

everything for the first six months without 

the realisation that I would need to be there 

too! 

TC Who are your icons in the industry and 

who inspires you? 

BG It’s a very mixed bag. I place 

hairdressers on an iconic status for various 

reasons – for example – I think my brother 

Simon – is amazing – I’d absolutely hate to 

do all the things he has to do in order to run 

our salon group – but he does it unfailingly. 

Vidal Sassoon – for being the God of 

hairdressing and his many, many disciples – 

and of course you Terry for being the best 

crack! 

TC How do you see your involvement within 

The Fellowship moving forward in the future? 

BG To be honest Terry with the F.A.M.E. 

Team management and now the 

appointment of Vice President – it’s moving 

pretty quickly – I’m quite happy to stay 

where I am for the time being! Having said 

that it’s a brilliant organisation and any role 

within it is one that I will undertake to the 

best of my ability. 

TC If you could pick an ideal person to inspire 

your F.A.M.E. Team who would that be? 

BG Think we’ve just done that actually – it 

was Leno d’Aprano. This man’s an unsung 

hero – he spent the day with us teaching the 

team how to fingerwave – the man’s a 

magician. Now in his ninth decade it was an 

amazing opportunity for all concerned and 

he’s a truly wonderful man. 

TC What’s your most exciting achievement 

to date? 

BG Where do I begin? On a professional 

note it was undoubtedly winning the British 

Hairdressing Awards Southern Hairdresser 

of the Year... personally the birth of my 

twin girls... 

TC As a manger of the F.A.M.E. Team and 

Vice President of the Fellowship for British 

Hairdressing what is your vision for the 

future of The Fellowship? 

BG Ain’t that your job? To give you a 

helping hand Terry – here are a few 

pointers: for the F.A.M.E. Team – most 

definitely a more structured itinerary for 

2011! For the Fellowship... that’s difficult – 

I do feel that all those concerned have been 

and are doing a sterling job. What does 

concern me that as an organisation it is 

getting bigger and bigger – the event 

calendar is absolutely full to brimming now 

- especially with the inauguration of the 

fabulous new off-shoots such as Project X, 

Colour Project and ClubStar – just wonder if 

we’ve got enough manpower to handle it 

all! It’s quite a small council with 16 

members – we’ve certainly got our work 

cut out! 

It’s a brilliant 

organisation and 

any role within it 

is one that I will 

undertake to the 

best of my ability 


MEDIA MATTERS 

GARY KELLY 

Gary Kelly is the Editor-in-Chief of 

Estetica UK and is based at the company’s 

UK head office in Mayfair. He worked in Turin, Italy 

for 11 years before returning to London in 1998 and 

subsequently taking over the Editorship of the UK edition. 

Ever since it was first founded in 1946 Estetica has provided the 

hairdressing industry with a unique insight into the world of 

international hairdressing. 

Gary, how did you become the editor of Estetica? 

I originally worked for Estetica out of our head office in Turin, Italy. I 

worked across all our international titles but obviously my main 

interest was in the UK edition. In the early days, my work was very 

much office-based and it was quite some time before I actually had 

the opportunity to come to the UK in a work capacity and experience 

British hairdressing for myself! I remember my first-ever trip, which 

was to work on our stand at Salon International, and from that 

moment I was hooked! 

Had you always had a keen interest in hairdressing? 

Is suppose the honest answer to this question would be to say that I 

had always been interested in anything creative or inspirational, but 

it was only when I experienced hairdressing first-hand on that 

original trip to Salon International that I realized where my loyalties 

truly lay! 

The Fellowship magazine reaches hairdressers all over the UK – what is 

the best advice that you can offer to them so that they are able to get 

their work published in Estetica? 

As with all challenges, it's necessary to build up experience in doing 

photographic work - no-one can reasonably expect to get their firstever 

attempts at putting together a collection published in a highend 

magazine such as Estetica. The competition at this level is very 

fierce, and so the objective should always be to learn from experience 

and not be too disappointed if things don't always go according to 

plan. A photo shoot in a fully-equipped studio with a professional 

team of photographer, stylist, make-up artist and models will cost 

thousands, so it's always best to build up that initial experience on a 

smaller scale before forking out loads of cash. Secondly, styling hair 

for a shoot is a completely different ball game to salon work or even 

session work. It's therefore vital to learn the right techniques through 

structured training and education. Self-belief and confidence are 

always good qualities to have, but they must also be backed up with 

the necessary skills and knowledge. 

What do you think of the Fellowship for British Hairdressing? 

At Estetica, we have worked in close partnership with The 

Fellowship from day one. Our launch in 1946 coincided pretty much 

with the first seeds being sown for the formation of The Fellowship 

as we know it today. The Fellowship is a truly remarkable 

organisation insofar as it can bring together the most talented people 

in our industry while never losing sight of the importance of looking 

to the future, of training and education, and the formation of young 

creative minds, so there will always be a new generation of 

hairdressers who will be willing to step up to the mark and maintain 

the number one position that British hairdressing enjoys in the 

international arena. We publish 26 editions of Estetica worldwide 

and I can promise you that much to the disdain of my international 

colleagues there is no other country in the world that enjoys the 

benefits of an organisation such as The Fellowship. 

How close is your involvement with The Fellowship? 

As close as it’s possible to be! As a company we have a very 

important association with The Fellowship as for many years we 

have published The Fellowship Yearbook, an annual project which 

takes around 6 months to complete and involves all of our editorial 

and production team. On a personal level, my admiration for 

The Fellowship knows no bounds. I particularly hold Events 

Co-ordinator and all round good egg, Ann Herman, in very high 

regard and continue to be amazed by how she manages to fit so 

much into one day. My greatest nightmare is that I could in some 

way end up on the wrong side of her, hence my on-going efforts to 

keep her sweet in any way possible. 

How does your editorial team decide what to focus on in each issue? 

There are two ways in which we do this. Firstly, at the beginning of 

each calendar year we establish what our two main themes will be 

for each issue - one creative and inspirational; the other more 

professional and technical. Secondly, with these in place, we then 

work from issue to issue to decide which associated articles we can 

include and which are relevant to that particular season as well as 

being newsworthy, of course. Some articles even go international, 

and are published in several of our editions worldwide.

CLUBSTAR GETS 

F.A.M.E. HUNGRY

“ClubStar’s evening tonight... Brilliant! 

Most definitely the best evening we have 

been to! Fantastic hair cuts and hair up” 

It was all about young talent this April 

when the F.A.M.E. Team presented their 

very first live show to an audience of their 

peers at the Wella World Studio. Led by 

mentors Bruno Marc of Marc Antoni and 

Errol Douglas MBE this year’s outstanding 

F.A.M.E. Team took to the stage in front of a 

packed audience. Ticket allocation was free 

to existing ClubStar members and quickly 

sold out at a bargain £5 a ticket to nonmembers 

wishing to sample the amazing 

learning opportunities on offer. 

F.A.M.E. Team members Ben Moth of Brooks 

& Brooks in London, Olive Tucker of House 

of Colour in Dublin, Ross Taylor from 

Falltrick’s in Romford and Kim Rance of 

Clipso in Watford looked like they were 

enjoying every second of their debut stage 

presentation. The variety of looks and 

perspectives on offer illustrated perfectly to 

the young audience the breadth of talent 

and skill in our amazing industry. Sam 

Langers is from Ciente in Berkhamsted and 

had this to say about her experience, 

“ClubStar’s evening tonight... Brilliant! Most 

definitely the best evening we have been to! 

Fantastic hair cuts and hair up!” 

Coached and inspired by their creative 

mentors the F.A.M.E. Team were on hand to 

create amazing textures, beautiful colours 

and awesome cuts for the captivated 

audience. Errol Douglas MBE and fellow 

host and mentor Bruno Marc baited the 

audience’s appetite for future F.A.M.E. Team 

events by stating “The best is yet to come!” 

ClubStar provides a raft of benefits 

including discounts and offers from 

sponsors and membership organisations, 

access to most Fellowship events and access 

to exclusive ClubStar events plus all the peer 

networking you could hope for – and all for 

just £49 per annum! 

There are more exclusive ClubStar events 

planned for 2010 so keep visiting the 

website for details. 

What the F.A.M.E. Team said: spokesperson: 

Ross Taylor of Falltricks, Romford: 

What a moment, the first show for the F.A.M.E. 

Team and what better audience to do it in front 

of, ClubStar! Today was one of our biggest tests 

so far as we had never performed on stage 

together doing hair, there was a lot of excitement 

and nerves all rolled into one! We got to the 

Wella World Studio at 10am to prepare our 

models for the 7.30pm start. There were 10 

models in all 4 cuts 4 hair-up plus 2 presentation 

models. The exercise brought us closer together as 

a unit – it was our aim to ensure that everything 

was perfect. It was great to see over 130 ClubStar 

members in the audience – all young and 

enthusiastic – as we are! Our confidence grew as 

the evening went on and we felt the warmth from 

the amazing audience. 


F.A.M.E . TEAM 

F.A.M.E.TEAM DIARY 

This month the Fellowship for British Hairdressing 

F.A.M.E. Team enjoyed a double date, the first with 

the truly iconic multi-award winning hairdresser, 

Angelo Seminara, the second with the legendary 

Leno d’Aprano – here Ross Taylor reports for 

FM magazine: 

DAY WITH ANGELO SEMINARA 

how we could enhance them to make them even better. In the 

afternoon we were given the freedom to do whatever we wanted to 

express our creativity – our choice was to take advantage of the 

intimacy of the event and literally ask Angelo absolutely everything 

that came into our minds! At the end of a long, but amazingly 

creative day we all left L’Oréal absolutely stunned by how much 

Angelo knows. We can’t thank him enough. 

DAY WITH LENO D’APRANO 

As a F.A.M.E. Team member I appreciate how lucky we have been to 

work with some of the biggest names within the industry – and 

Angelo was no exception! We had the honour and utmost pleasure to 

work with the British Hairdresser of the Year 2007. We all met at the 

L’Oréal Academy in Hammersmith prompt at 9.30am – we were all 

so excited but nervous at the same time. However, when Angelo 

walked into the room he made us feel very at ease. To me he has got 

to be one of the most ‘laid-back’ hairdressers I’ve ever met which 

gave me a sense of comfort and ease. To start the day, Angelo sat us 

down and chatted about himself and what he was going to be 

showing us throughout the day. He then turned the tables and asked 

us to introduce ourselves and share our passions – all of which are so 

completely different – I do believe he was quite entertained! Angelo 

then demonstrated what we were going to be doing throughout the 

rest of morning – he wanted us to not copy it as such but reinterpret 

it, giving our individual twist which we all thought was great! 

On completing our task – Angelo gave each of us fabulous advice on 

As a team this was going to be our first opportunity to meet the 

legendary Leno d’Aprano. We had heard so many amazing things 

about him it was fabulous to meet him. At 81 Leno’s story was a long 

one – but what a fabulous tale to tell. As he showed us his finger 

and marcel waves we were spellbound. Leno was a fabulous tutor 

and to learn these skills from the master was memorable – 

educational and fun! Leno took time to show us his tricks and tools 

of the trade – one of which was one of the biggest and heaviest 

hairdryers we had ever seen – and the tongs were so so heavy! 

He’d also brought along a copy of the Hairdressers Journal from the 

50’s which featured his work! Following Leno’s demonstration we 

went to our blocks and tried it out for ourselves with Leno giving us 

great pointers in how to attain perfection. By the end of the day we 

all felt that we had learned so much it was absolutely incredible. 

This was a great day and we are all very proud to have met Leno 

and hope to work with him again in the near future. 


PROJECT X 

Getting some 

fashion insight 

BY HARRIET EVANS 

The Fellowship’s Project X students all arrived at the 

Sassoon Academy London this month for an action 

packed day called Fashion Insight. 

The workshop provided the group with a 

fascinating insight into the world of fashion 

and session styling and was designed to 

show the students how strongly linked the 

hairdressing industry is to the world of 

fashion. “Hair is the ultimate fashion accessory” 

said project leader Robert Eaton “and this can 

be seen by some of the amazing work produced by 

the session stylists who work the fashion weeks 

and do the shoots we all look at regularly in 

magazines. We wanted to show the students a 

different side to the hairdressing industry and 

what opportunities are out there.” 

The morning began with the guys 

presenting their fashion-themed mood 

boards and it’s clear that making a 

presentation each month is really helping 

the team polish their presentation skills in 

preparation for their final show at Salon 

International exhibition. 

Next they were joined by a regular on the 

fashion scene, Herman Ho. Herman is a key 

member of the Headmasters artistic team, 

whose job involves working on fashion 

weeks, producing shoots and editorial work 

and developing the artistic direction of the 

Headmasters group. He demonstrated 

several looks and shared images and videos 

of shows he has worked on, an amazing 

inspirational insight into session styling. 

Next was another demo on session skills 

from Davide Scarna from Sassoon, who 

proved to be a massive inspiration to the 

team and the day finished with a talk by 

fashion guru and author Caroline Cox, 

who gave the students a real insight into 

the world of fashion, focusing on how to 

identify trends and maintain a credible 

relationship between hair and fashion. 

“Another amazing day had by all the team” said 

Robert. “It’s great to see them growing in 

confidence and gaining more and more 

inspiration and knowledge to achieve great things 

in the future.” 


BEHIND THE SCENES 

FELLOWSHIP EVENTS 

COORDINATOR 

ANN HERMAN 

At the Fellowship Luncheon in 2009 you 

mentioned that it was your job to sell the 

very first tickets of a Fellowship Event. Can 

you tell us how the idea came about, when it 

was and how much the tickets were 

The first Fellows Luncheon took place on 

9th December, 1985 in the Barber Surgeons 

Hall, Barbican. The idea came from the 

Chairman at this time, Xavier Wenger. I was 

given the job of selling tickets for the event 

which cost £32.50 and I can tell you that this 

was not an easy task and I only managed to 

sell 25 tickets! The first "Fellows with 

Honours" were awarded and I was 

delighted to be amongst the first to be 

presented with an award by then President 

Stephen Cohen. It might interest people to 

know that the recipients of the Awards were 

then sent an invoice to cover the cost of the 

medal! The event stayed at this venue for a 

couple of years when it became so popular 

we moved to the Cafe Royal, when we 

outgrew that space we moved to the 

Dorchester which is where it has been held 

ever since. This event has now proved to be 

the most popular in the hairdressing 

calendar. 

Can you give us a potted version of your 

‘career’ to date with the Fellowship for 

British Hairdressing? 

I was asked by the Chairman, Xavier 

Wenger to join the Fellowship Council and I 

used to attend our monthly meetings which 

were held in a very grotty room above a 

pub in Knightbridge. It was here that I met 

Christofer Mann and I started to assist 

Christofer who was responsible for putting 

on shows for the Fellowship. A job I 

eventually took over and have been doing 

ever since. 

As Events Coordinator for the Fellowship – 

what does your job entail on a daily basis? 

Along with the Fellowship Council we plan 

events for the coming year involving 

members throughout the UK. It’s then my 

job to ensure that we have a good range of 

presenters at each of these events. Sounds 

simple but because we are holding so many 

events up and down the country it keeps 

me very busy! 

In 2008 you were awarded the prestigious 

title of Patron of Honour what did this mean 

to you? 

In 1993 I was given the first Fellow with 

Distinction Award. In 2004 I received a 

Lifetime Achievement Award and in 2008 

I was made Patron of Honour of The 

Fellowship. This is the highest honour given 

to any Member of The Fellowship and I am 

very proud of it. 

Prior to your all consuming work for The 

Fellowship you ran your own busy London 

salon, when you look at salons and the 

technology they have available at their 

fingertips today – what would have helped 

you most when you were at the helm? 

Sometimes I am asked by the very young 

members whether I was a hairdresser. This 

makes me laugh for I realise that it must be 

very difficult for some of these young 

people today to ever imagine an 84 year old 

doing what they are now doing. Yes I had 

my Salon in Camden and a very busy salon 

it was. I just loved every day I worked there 

and only wish I could wind the clock back 

and do it all again! The young hairdressers 

today don't know just how fortunate they 

are with all the technology available. Things 

were not quite like that when I was actively 

hairdressing: unstable colours, awful liquid 

peroxide to name just two! 

What’s the highlight of your Fellowship Year? 

The highlight of the Fellowship Year just has 

to be Salon International which after many 

many years being at Wembley is now held 

at Excel in Docklands. My work on that 

beings in April and continues right through 

the summer months until the event in 

October. I have great cooperation from the 

Fellowship Business partners with whom I 

work very closely. 

What’s your advice to up-and-coming 

hairdressers who want to showcase their 

work to The Fellowship? 

Another of my favourite events is Members 

Night which are held twice a year. This 

enables young hairdressers to showcase 

their work. From these evenings we 

"discover" new talent who will eventually be 

invited to take part in Salon. 

Personally I would love to see more young 

people in The Fellowship and the gateway 

to this is our ClubStar. ClubStar is open to 

young hairdressers aged from 16 to 25 and 

the opportunities are endless. Young 

members also have the opportunity to apply 

for a place in the F.A.M.E. Team just like 

Errol Douglas MBE, Antoinette Beenders, 

Lisa Shepherd, Sean Dawson and Jamie 

Stevens did – to name but a few! One of the 

greatest thrills for me is to see these young 

hairdressers make an impression in our 

industry and travel the world showing their 

skills (unheard of in my day). 

You’ve earned the reputation of the Mary 

Portas of hairdressing .... not only how you 

can help change and improve young 

hairdressers profile but in the way you dress 

– what’s the secret of your fabulous 

wardrobe! 

Thanks for the compliment! I must admit 

I’ve always loved fashion and I’m always 

interested in trends coming. I’m a bit of a 

magpie in terms of my style... I steal good 

ideas from people I think look good and 

interpret them to suit me. 


TERRYCA 

BY RUTH HUNSLEY 

PHOTOS WILLIAM SPARACIA 

Terry Calvert’s Power Night was guaranteed 

to be bursting with stories and laughter – 

and it didn’t disappoint. 

Top industry names travelled down memory lane at the event, which was held at 

the L’Oréal International Academy in Hammersmith, London. The Fellowship for 

British Hairdressing’s new President took the celebrity-packed audience on a 

journey through the decades, from starting his own business in the 70s to 

becoming the face of The Fellowship in the present day. As well as images from 

the past three decades, Terry also revealed stunning models that took inspiration 

from the past, but he brought them bang up to date by combining textures and 

colours for looks that were bold, beautiful and sexy. 

The evening was compered by past President Sean Dawson from 

HOB Salons, with questions fielded from the audience, which 

included Joshua and Daniel Galvin, Richard and Hellen Ward, Mark 

Hayes, Alan Hemmings, Stephen Messias and Andrew and Liz 

Collinge. “Hairdressing is all about having fun,” Terry declared. 

“Hairdressing is a serious business but you can still have fun.” And over 

the past 30 years that is definitely what Terry has been having. 

1970s 

Terry was a young hairdresser in the 70s and had the audience in 

stitches as he talked about the pranks and exploits he experienced at 

the start of his career. He moved to Germany with £100 in his pocket 

where he worked before returning to the UK to open his own 

business. “In the 1970s salon decors were bamboo, palm trees and yucca 

plants so I coined Clipso - a play on Calypso. The logo even had a palm tree 

in it! I opened my first salon in 1978 for just £15,000,” he recalled. 

Girls wanted to experiement in the 70s and 

hairdressing was a very exciting time as 

clients let you play around with their hair 

A video displayed some of Terry’s favourite images from the decade, 

which saw clashing colours, textures and bright make-up vying for 

attention. Then the audience was in for a treat: Terry revealed two 

models with Bowie-inspired hair and stunning clothes. “Hairdressing 

in the 70s was a very different time - there was no internet and no retouched 


VERT 

Power Night 

images to market yourself, so you opened the doors and hoped people would 

come in. But some things never change - back then people wanted a great 

hair cut and they want that today too. We might wrap it up with 

champagne, treatments and a great decor, but at the end of the day it’s the 

hair cut that matters.” He added: “Girls wanted to experiment in the 70s 

and hairdressing was a very exciting time as clients let you play around with 

their hair.” 

1980s 

Moving to the 80s, Terry talked about venturing into the session 

world - and his love for creating beautiful images. “Being successful is 

a balancing act - it’s no use having a great business with lots of money if you 

aren’t creative; but you can’t be creative without a good business so you need 

to balance and work at them both.” 

Hair was big and bold and I loved working 

with curls and ringlets, making them look 

sexy and romantic 

The launch of HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards was a turning point 

for Terry, who entered in 1985 and won Southern Hairdresser of the 

Year for two consecutive years. “I loved creating images and making the 

models look beautiful, sexy and feminine.” He stressed how important it 

was to get work published and imagery really started to come to the 

fore of hairdressing. However, while his creativity was rocketing, his 

business started to suffer. He opened a salon in London’s Covent 

Garden, which turned into a disaster. “It was the boom times and prices 


An absolutely fantastic evening. A true seasoned pro 

who delivered a very entertaining presentation that 

included beautiful hair, creative insights and a whole lot 

of fun and wit. Terry Calvert at this best! Mark Creed 

just rocketed - the rent went from £25,000 to £75,000 a year. I had no choice 

but to close it, which was a shame as it was attracting a lot of people but I 

just couldn’t afford the rent. That was the first time something hadn’t 

worked for me and it was hard,” he said. His work throughout this 

decade was Vivienne Westwood-inspired, with structured clothes 

and new romantic curls. “Hair was big and bold and I loved working with 

curls and ringlets, making them look sexy and romantic.” 

1990s 

Terry’s winning streak continued in the 90s as he won HJ’s Eastern 

Hairdresser of the Year and the L’Oreal Professionnel Colour Trophy. 

It was also the birth of the celebrity hairdresser, with Anthony 

Mascolo, Trevor Sorbie and Andrew Collinge all regularly making 

headline news. “It was a hard time to compete as there were so many great 

names and so much interest in the industry. It’s all about confidence; we all 

lose it sometimes but it always comes back,” he stated. 

It was a hard time to compete as there were 

so many great names and so much interest 

in the industry 

His imagery in this decade was bold, flirtatious, exciting and 

directional and Terry really played with movement and textures to 

constantly push the boundaries. “I love borrowing ideas from the past, 

but turning them into something new for the future,” he said. Models 

graced the stage with quirky, structured updos – and a little cheeky 

reminder that it should be fun as one of the models exposed a 

diamante-covered rear! 


Terry’s Power Night for The Fellowship was absolutely brilliant. It was incredibly interesting to hear Terry explain in 

detail and chart the history of Clipso over the last four decades through his impressive photographic collections. The 

highlight of the Power Night for both Liz and myself was to see such stunning work created on all the models from the 

70’s to the present day. It was an inspirational and thoroughly entertaining event. Andrew Collinge 

2000s 

With new technology, new products and enhancements in 

photography, Terry pushed his creativity – and his business - and 

made it into a household name. He ventured back in to London with 

Darren Fowler running the Windmill Street salon, and the team won 

HJ’s Artistic Team of the Year twice. Terry and his team became 

regulars on the show and seminar circuit and his business went from 

strength to strength. 

Now, he has taken over as Fellowship President and is looking 

forward to taking the organisation into a new direction. “We are here 

to share our knowledge and push forward the reputation of the industry and 

its creativity. I want to make hairdressing exciting, fun and professional and 

I have lots of things planned.” If the future is as colourful as Terry’s past 

then we’re all in for a bright time ahead. 

I want to make hairdressing 

exciting, fun and professional

CLUBSTAR 

First Full Day 

Workshop 

With Mahogany 

PR SALLY LEARMOUTH 

BY RACHEL GOULD 

Where else can you get a full day of worldclass 

hairdressing education for just £10? 

ClubStar, the youth membership 

programme of the Fellowship for British 

Hairdressing, teamed up with international 

hairdressing educators Mahogany this 

April to pack in demonstrations and work 

sessions for an inspirational workshop. 

Darren Newton, Creative Director of the 

Mahogany Academy and his team shared 

some of Mahogany’s key techniques and 

showed the audience how to create 

outstanding quality cuts and colours. Each 

member of the audience was required to bring 

one model and their session bag and then the 

afternoon was spent in a guided work session. 

Attendees were able to access Mahogany 

educators’ extensive experience and 

knowledge in a focussed and detailed way. 

And that wasn’t all! The audience also got 

the opportunity to win a two-day course at 

the Academy valued at £500. Simon Shaw 

said: “We are absolutely blown away by 

Mahogany’s on-going support of ClubStar. We’ve 

really got momentum with our education now 

due in no small part to some of the industry’s 

greatest educators. ClubStar gives young people 

unprecedented access to first class learning 

experiences and we are really proud.” 


COLOUR PROJECT 

PHILOSOPHY 

HAIRDRESSING 

BY SALLY LEARMOUTH 

Nothing was going to stop the Philosophy 

Team inspire the Colour Project students 

as the years fourth education seminar 

took place on 23rd April at the L’Oréal 

International Academy in London. 

Philosophy Art Team members Mark Creed & Luke Anderson 

literally raced to the Academy with seconds to spare after being 

delayed overseas due to the now infamous ash cloud. The duo 

literally hit the ground running with their unique brand of 

education as they shared numerous practical in-salon creative 

techniques. 

Philosophy’s Technical Director Mark Creed welcomed the students 

and then encouraged everyone in the audience to relax, ask as many 

questions as they wished and most importantly to open their minds 

to creative colour work. Colour consultation was discussed at length 

and Mark gave tips and insights into client behaviour that explored 

both psychology and body language. “Understanding these subliminal 

messages that clients involuntarily give us will make you a far better 

communicator and in-turn a fantastic colourist,” stated Mark. Philosophy 

Creative Director Luke Anderson then took to the stage and 

launched into his haircut, whilst cutting Luke explained, ”This is one 

of my signature haircuts that I put to good use in the salon on a daily basis,” 

he then created a stunning image and he shared a new direction for 

layering hair, reducing bulk and weight whilst perfectly retaining the 

length of the hair. Luke adds, “A perfect creative idea that you’ll definitely 

be able to employ on a great number of your clients.” Mark then went on 

to explain to the students that this seminar was focused on ‘pure 

education’ and so to echo this you won’t see the usual ‘show type’ of 

hairdressing that seldom seem in most salons; instead it would focus 

on client friendly techniques that would expand on your in salon 

colour business. The Philosophy Team also avoided the temptation to 

just focus, promote and share their latest collection instead an allencompassing 

range of techniques were shared from Philosophy’s 

numerous collections and Luke & Mark long career. Likewise the 

colours were varied and included dramatic deep damsons right 

through to delicate butter blondes infused with gentle caramel tones. 

The afternoon saw the students put through their colour paces as 

they worked on mannequin heads completing numerous 

challenging techniques. Mark & Luke encouraged the students to 

think artistically and gave them a task which really got the creative 

juices flowing! Words such as…..Volcano (very topical) & Angelic 

were written down and handed to each pair of students. The 

challenge was to imagine themselves creating a photographic 

collection that was to be entitled with the chosen word. Think 

laterally, avoid the obvious and push the boundaries,” urged Mark. 

The results were truly stunning and as each of the teams took to the 

stage to present their models, inspirations and ideas, it was clear to 

everybody involved in the day that it had been a highly motivating 

Colour Project seminar. 


FELLOWSHIP AWARD WINNERS 

Metropo 

it’s se 

Metropolis Hairdressing, Kingston-upon-Thames, won the coveted 

Best Individual Salon of the Year Award at the 2009 Fellowship Luncheon 

and Awards – an occasion when salon owner Robert Masciave was also 

made a Fellowship Fellow with Honours. So what makes his salon special? 

“In a competitive area such as 

Kingston, we needed to create 

a salon service noticeably 

better than any other” 

The Fellowship’s core equity – 

strength through quality – is precisely 

what the Metropolis salon offers. In 

recognition of its structured approach 

to hairdressing excellence and top 

notch customer care, the salon has 

been named ‘the most stylish salon in 

the area’ and ‘an excellent and 

enjoyable experience with friendly 

and well-mannered staff’ by Vogue 

and Sunday Times Style magazines. 

The Metropolis experience has a very distinctive edge. “In a 

competitive area such as Kingston, we needed to create a salon service 

noticeably better than any other,” explains Metropolis owner Robert 

Masciave. “And with our unique Metropolis Experience package, I believe 

we have achieved this”. 

The essence of Metropolis is to be obsessive about giving each 

client customised style and personalised attention; its promise is to 

treat every client like a family friend and ensure they feel 

attractive, confident and happy. “We aim to develop clients to become 

Metropolistas, who understand, buy into and become an integral part of 

the Metropolis family,” says Robert. 

The salon has worked with focus and determination to secure a 

duel reputation: excellence in customer service and creativity alike. 

Its approach is to create The Metropolis Experience for every client, 

every visit. And although the process is formulaic, it’s become 

second nature to the salon team members who operate with easy 

informality, so the experience feels real, not artificial. 

Metropolis hairdressing represents classic lines with a modern 

edge, the work embracing a customer care programme which is 

totally interlinked with skills and education. All team members are 

trained to be friendly and warm, down-to-earth and be good 

listeners so they become trusted advisors. 

“Team members are trained to 

incorporate certain key phrases and 

actions during critical touch points 

during appointments to bring out 

specific, desired emotional responses 

from the client,” explains Robert. 

“There are seven specific steps to be 

covered during the appointment, 

from the minute the client walks in 

to the minute she leaves.” 


is 

cret to success 

The emotional benefits client’s experience include feeling 

welcomed, special, attractive, proud of their appearance and ‘part 

of the ‘family’. The functional benefit is their take out of getting a 

suitably fashionable, quality cut and colour, a style they can easy 

do themselves, so they look great every day. 

And to underline the special nature of service the client can expect, 

the Metropolis Style Book outlines the ethos, services and styles 

the salon offers, while a well-subscribed to Loyalty Card rewards 

regulars for their fidelity. Revlon Ambassador Robert knows that to 

be effective, the Metropolis brand must be continually re-energised 

and refreshed. “The brand is reviewed at weekly meetings where team 

members are encouraged to share stories about how they bring the brand to 

life and the impact it has on the business and the clients,” says Robert. 

“New employees are fully immersed in our culture, being given both brand 

tutorial and coaching sessions when they start work. We work hard on 

skills training and although we have a strong package of in-salon training 

for all staff, achieving formal qualifications for NVQ Levels is actively 

encouraged,” says Robert. 

A F.A.M.E. Team member himself in 1994, evidence of the Metropolis 

training programme success is evidenced by two team members being 

included in the Fellowship F.A.M.E. Team final selection. 

Its creative reputation makes 

Metropolis in constant demand 

for shows, demos and seminars, 

Robert ensuring all staff 

members contribute to these 

exciting and motivational events 

to further their personal 

development. 

So with all of this in mind – it 

seems only right and proper 

that Metropolis won the Best 

Individual Salon of the Year 

Award. 

“It is an honour to have achieved 

such a highly valued award as this,” 

said Robert at a Champagne, crudités and hair show party held in 

the Kingston salon to celebrate the award success. “What makes this 

award incredibly special is that you’re nominated and judged by high 

calibre hairdressers, so you are being recognised by your contemporaries. 

And for me to have been made Fellow with Honours too – well, that is 

such a huge credit of respect,” said Robert with pride.

Avant Garde session stylist, Robert Masciave of Metropolis Hairdressing was requested to 

style the hair for Leigh De Vries, an up and coming folk singer for the Peoples Music 

Awards, the global website where unsigned music artists, bands and producers can 

upload their music to be heard and voted for by the public and top industry professionals. 

The grand finale was held at Mass in Brixton, South London on the 17th April where 

Leigh went on to win her category. “The whole event was crazy! Leigh and I conferred 

over her desired look for the night and we decided on a style that had the wow factor. I 

wanted to create a free moving hair style that was intricately styled with lots of texture and 

decided on something a bit avant garde to match the energy of Leigh on the stage.” Says Robert Masciave. JAMIE STEVENS
