…TO CELEBRATE COLOUR AND THE ARTISTS CREATING IT;
TO HAVE A FRANK AND OPEN CONVERSATION ABOUT SALON
COLOUR, HOW IT IS REPRESENTED ONLINE AND CLIENT
EXPECTATIONS OF SALON COLOUR APPOINTMENTS; TO
SHARE AND GROW COLOUR SKILLS, IDEAS AND FORMULAS.
IT IS TIME FOR SALON COLOURISTS TO SHINE – CLIENTS HAVE
NEVER BEEN SO EXPERIMENTAL AND OPEN TO PROFESSIONAL
COLOUR – BUT COLOURIST CONFIDENCE IS BEING KNOCKED
BY WHAT IS ACHIEVABLE IN REALITY DURING A SALON
COLOUR APPOINTMENT, IN COMPARISON WITH THE FILTERED
IMAGES ALL ACROSS INSTAGRAM.
OUR MOST WANTED COLOUR EXPERT, SOPHIA HILTON, CALLS
IT THE COLOUR PANDEMIC – YOU CAN READ HER CONCERNS IN
MORE DETAIL AT CREATIVEHEADMAG.COM/PAINT. IT’S JUST
ONE OF THE REASONS CREATIVE HEAD FELT PASSIONATELY
ABOUT WANTING TO CREATE SOMEWHERE FOR COLOURISTS
TO FIND INSPIRATION, SUPPORT, INNOVATION, HELP… AND
ENCOURAGE THE TALENTED TECHNICIANS OUT THERE TO
WORK TOGETHER AS A COLLECTIVE THAT LOVES COLOUR.
WE’VE ENLISTED SIX BRILLIANT PAINTERS TO KICK US OFF,
UNVEILED THE CREATIVEHEADMAG.COM/PAINT HUB, AND
WE’LL BE HERE IN PRINT TWICE A YEAR (LOOK OUT FOR THE
A/W18 ISSUE IN OCTOBER,) IF YOU’RE A COLOURIST, THIS IS
ALL FOR YOU! WE HOPE YOU’LL JOIN IN THE FUN…
