BIRTHDAYS ARE SO fleeting. Just 24 hours. Nah, we can do
better than that. A birthday week? Pffft. A birthday month? Keep
talking… let’s make it a birthday YEAR! Yup, 2020 sees Creative HEAD
celebrating its 20th birthday, and we’re going to party like it’s 1999… (plus
one). These past two decades have seen an incredible amount of change for
the industry and for us as a brand – in print and online we’ll be revisiting some
of those major flashpoints and considering the lasting impact of that period on
us all. But to kick it off, we asked 20 visionary hairdressers to look back over their
careers and select the look they consider their favourite from the past 20 years. It’s a
marvellous menagerie of styles, inspirations and stories – turn to page 68 for a walk
down memory lane. There will be so much more to come, and we’ll be asking you
to get involved too – keep an eye on #CHmag20 on @creativeheadmag to see how
you can share in the birthday fun.
Are you ready to get this party started?
