YOUNG TALENT
UPSKILL FOR
SESSION
GR A DUATE
FASHION WEEK
CO-LED BY Paul Davey,
Davey Davey
“It is such an honour to get
involved with such a prestigious
event. Working with the future
of fashion with progressive
ideas was what really sold it to
me. L’Oréal Professionnel is
always at the forefront of
fashion and it was an honour to
represent it.”
CO-LED BY Nicole Iroh,
Headmasters
“There were 23 shows spanning
four days – you can imagine
what a fast-paced but also
inspiring environment the
backstage area was! We led a
team of 26 hairdressers from
L’Oréal Professionnel Portfolio
Salons across the country. It
was great to see the team grow
so much in such little time.”
ASSISTED BY James Parr,
Nashwhite
“I learnt that we all have
strengths and weaknesses but as
a team we can achieve
exceptional standards. I got a
complete overview of how the
whole production comes
together, from preparation to
the moments on the runway.”
ASSISTED BY Frankie McGowan,
Andrew Hill
“This was the most amazing
experience of my career so far. I
learnt new hair techniques and
new ways to style quickly. Back
in the salon I have used new
curling techniques and am also
more conscious of my timings.”
ASSISTED BY Vishali Visavadia,
George’s Hairdressing
“I had never done much session
work so it was amazing to be
part of something so big. It is
on a huge scale and it was a
really different world to step
into. Time management was the
Nicole Iroh and Paul Davey (centre) with
the L’Oréal Professionnel Portfolio Team
biggest challenge, you have to
be efficient and make it work.
It was a fantastic opportunity
for networking, too. Back in the
salon I’ve been able to share
how to create different looks
with my colleagues.”
ASSISTED BY Rhys Jones,
Blushes
“It was by far one of the best
experiences of my hairdressing
career. Back in the salon it has
given me a completely different
way of looking at things and
approaching situations, trying
out different products and being
more confident in myself.”
ASSISTED BY Hugo Santos,
Andrew Mulvenna
“It felt incredible to part of the
team and to work with so many
models, right in the heart of
such a big operation. Focusing
on the finer details was hard at
times – it’s a serious challenge
but when you get through it you
learn so much about yourself.”
ASSISTED BY Jessica Hau,
Rush Hair
“I love the pace of a fashion
show, the whole atmosphere
was buzzing. It’s so important
to have a keen eye and always
ensure your work is perfect.
You learn so many new things.”
