BABYLISS PRO’S FIRST-EVER Session to Salon education
event saw Richard Phillipart take to the stage in Manchester
to share insight and techniques from his work backstage at
Fashion Week shows in London, Paris, Milan and New York.
As a salon owner himself, Richard also explained how catwalk
looks can be commercialised in the salon, especially for brides
and bridesmaids. “The more clients see things in magazines, the
more they’ll be willing to try them. You just need to spur them
on!” he said. Working with BaByliss PRO electricals, Richard
shared tips on tongs: “Always start at the root, and let the hair
feed around the tong to achieve a perfectly even curl,” and
drying: “Blast-dry without a nozzle to get a matte finish,” before
helping out at a hands-on product trial session after the show.
