You, dear reader, are amazing. Yup, you are. The modern<br />
hairdresser is so much more than a snipper of strands, a painter of<br />
highlights. You have always been an ear, someone clients can share their<br />
lives with. But it strikes me that now, more than ever, you are a problem<br />
solver extraordinaire, thinking on your feet and tailoring advice and services<br />
to each individual who’s sat in your chair. Our look at extensions (page 60) is<br />
testament to that – appropriately titled The Full Story, it identifies how making<br />
hair super-long is now no longer the main driver. It’s offering an answer to a hair<br />
headache that could very well be affecting your client’s confidence, her sense of<br />
self-image. You can make that difference. And I urge you to read our interview<br />
with our 2017 Most Wanted Session Stylist, Syd Hayes (page 56). An intelligent<br />
and funny chap, Syd is working at the very top level on fashion shoots and<br />
shows… yet remains utterly grounded, intent on continuing the success of<br />
the family salon, too. One day he’ll have Kate Moss in his chair, the next it<br />
might be Katie from Kew – and he’ll make both feel like supermodels.<br />
Because that’s the power you have, and you should never forget it –<br />
and perhaps remind yourself, every so often, that you’re pretty<br />
incredible at it.<br />
