DAMIEN RINALDO<br />
Inspiring, humble and no-nonsense: a few words to describe<br />
L’Oréal Professionnel Artist and one of Australia’s top hairdressing legends.<br />
What L’Oréal Professionnel<br />
Tecni. ART products did you use on<br />
this shoot and why?<br />
I prepped with L’Oréal Professionnel<br />
Tecni.ART Full Volume Extra Mousse<br />
for strong hold and lots of volume.<br />
Super Dust perfectly delivered<br />
heaps of texture and the new<br />
Ringlight Spray gave a high-shine<br />
polished finish.<br />
What about the L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.ART<br />
range sets it apart?<br />
The new-look Tecni.ART has been made in codevelopment<br />
with L’Oréal Professionnel’s International<br />
stylists to ensure that it’s a range made with hairdressers<br />
– for hairdressers. They worked in collaboration across the<br />
new packaging, product selection and testing, as well as<br />
the imagery to make sure it connects with today’s style<br />
and energy. The range is the perfect toolbox for any stylist<br />
to let imaginations run wild and create the unimaginable.<br />
How did you channel<br />
an inner French-girl on<br />
Olympia’s hair?<br />
Olympia already embodies<br />
L’Oréal Professionnel’s modern<br />
elegance and French-chic,<br />
so creating looks that channel<br />
and hero this was really easy!<br />
I wanted to create looks that<br />
brought this to life through<br />
a mixture of Olympia’s own<br />
inner French Chic style<br />
and Tecni.ART’s luxe, edgy<br />
Parisian vibe.<br />
What is your method for getting hair to look right on set?<br />
You have to go into a shoot well prepared; having practised the key looks,<br />
ensures you know that the outcome will be. When on set, you have to assess<br />
every detail from ‘behind the camera’ as things that might look ok up close, don’t<br />
always translate. To get flawless shots, you really have to sweat the small stuff!<br />
You have had a lot of success in the past year with a thriving<br />
salon, brand and awards. What do you attribute the success to?<br />
The salon team always comes first, and building a culture of sharing<br />
and working together only helps me grow as a mentor. It’s never<br />
about the individual, it’s the sum of all parts that drives the true<br />
success. Hard work and determination is key.<br />
What brand are you loving at the moment?<br />
French clothing brand Vetements has such a cool vibe<br />
and I appreciate their progressive approach to design,<br />
which I think is really at the forefront of today’s trends.<br />
