Creative HEAD Ireland Christmas 2020

Editor’s letter

IT’S THE END of 2020 – and what a year it has been. With
two lockdowns and a big question mark over the future, the Irish
hairdressing industry has stepped up and dealt with everything
that’s been thrown at it, with grit and determination. To prepare for
2021 and the challenges it may bring, we have put together a toolkit of all
the support, ideas and motivation you need to keep your business on track
over the coming months – find it on page 30. But we’ve not forgotten a little
creative inspiration, too, with beautiful new work from Zeba and a closer look
at Richard Phillipart’s models from Salon Smart Live (which you can watch
on demand, by the way!). Still want more? Creative HEAD has launched a
new podcast in association with Treatwell, The Root of It, so plug in – the first
series is out now. And on a final note, this will be my last issue as editor of
Creative HEAD Ireland, a role that has introduced me to some of the most
creative people I have ever met. Thank you for making my job such a
pleasure over the years – have a very merry Christmas, and I wish
you all the best for the New Year!
Anna Samson,
Editor

JOIN US!
It’s been quite a year, hasn’t it?
Learning to adapt has become
the 2020 mantra but being
unable to host physical events
opened up opportunities to
deliver digital offerings, which
have kept us all connected.
Take Salon Smart Live, our
business networking event,
which went live stream –
and with all sessions now
accessible on-demand, expert
advice is available as and when
you need it. We launched The
Teachings – inspirational video
tutorials from industry pros sharing
their skills in creating wearable,
commercial looks, see page 28.
And there’s The Root of It – our
new podcast series. See who
we’ve had in the recording studio
for series two on page 26…
