Creative Head UK September 2020

#CHTurns20
“I CAN’T ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT’S 20 YEARS
SINCE CREATIVE HEAD WAS BORN – IT SEEMS
LIKE YESTERDAY THIS VERY BOLD AND BRAVE
PUBLICATION CAME THROUGH OUR SALON
DOORS. IT THOUGHT NOTHING OF CHALLENGING
THE NORMS, SHOUTING ABOUT THE NEW AND
THROWING OUT OLD IDEALS. THE MAGAZINE IS
PRETTY MUCH AS OLD AS MY CAREER AND I CAN’T
THINK OF ANYONE WHO HELPED CHAMPION ME
AND BELIEVED IN ME SO MUCH FROM THE VERY
BEGINNING, AS CATHERINE HAS DONE. THANK YOU
FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT, I WISH YOU A
VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. WITH LOTS OF LOVE FROM
THE HERSHESONS.”

LUKE HERSHESON
SINCE 2000
LUKE HERSHESON IS one of London’s most
innovative stylists – a creator of trends, not
a follower. It was Luke who was responsible
for Sienna Miller’s short choppy bob that
launched a million bobs. It was Luke who
brought straighteners to the UK in the early
2000s and created the poker-straight hair that
so defined that period. And by insisting that
a career in session didn’t mean he couldn’t
also work in his family salon, it was Luke
who forged a career path that so many have
gone down since. Following this incredible,
pioneering career, and charting so many of
the keynote moments exclusively on the pages
of Creative HEAD (including the opening of
his ground-breaking new salon on London’s
Berners Street), we’ve developed a close and
very special relationship with Luke that’s built
on mutual trust and respect. We even got to
play a part in another very special Hersheson
‘first’, coaxing Luke and his team to stage their
very first hair show at Salon Smart last year.
And guess what: it was fresh and exciting and
unlike anything we’d ever seen before.
Of course.
