SPLIT DECISIONS
PARTING WAYS IN 2017
When Josh Wood moved to Redken
in the spring of 2017 (exclusively
revealed in Creative HEAD), he ended
an official alliance with Wella that had
lasted a decade. In his new role as
Redken’s global color creative director,
Wood has teamed up with session god
Guido Palau to set trends that will
influence looks worldwide. The new
partnership was celebrated in a
packed-out gathering of Creative
HEAD’s The Coterie. In other
moves, Bruce Masefield quit
as European creative director at
Sassoon to open his own salon
in Edinburgh; Hereford’s
Peter Prosser retired
after 53 years in the
industry; and Angelo
Vallillo left Zullo &
Holland to launch a
salon/art space with
former RUSH creative,
Dale Hearne. More
details to come…

WUNDERKIND OF THE YEAR
KY WILSON, THE SOCIAL
Is there anybody who hasn’t heard of Ky Wilson? The 28-yearold
self-confessed loudmouth is setting the industry alight
with his pop-up salons, creative collaborations and forthright
opinions (social media being a particular favourite: “Stop
trying to be so f**king famous”). It’s an approach that has
seen his profile grow exponentially – as a blogger, barber,
session stylist and creative thinker, culminating in him being
named Creative HEAD’s It Guy of 2017. From cutting hair
on the streets of London to Northern Soul dancing onstage –
Ky’s done it all, with style. We can’t wait to see what’s next.
