Creative combos
Professional colorists worldwide challenge themselves to
study color theory and geometries for original designs.
Gary Kelly and Marie Scarano
Hairdressers and colorists glean their inspiration from nature, architecture, and more to create original cut’n’color
combinations that can range anywhere from subtle to over-the-top. They may not be for everyone, but there are some
individuals eager to push their own limits, either for a one-off special occasion or for a new lease on life.
CANDY GIRL
“I absolutely love this image and I had so much fun creating it. Color is a chance to express yourself and make statement and I wanted to do just that. We had an
overall candy style theme for this shoot, which gave me the perfect opportunity to have some fun. I wanted to play with multiple colors and sharp lines to really
make the colors pop. My aim was to create a bold image that was all about the hair and for me, the contrasting colors combined with the precision cut is the perfect
example of that!” Chelsea Bate (UK)

BI-LEVEL BOLD
Color blocking is the color application technique of the moment. I love this image from our POP collection so much because of its bright bold placements.
There is no denying that each color has its place and even though it’s such a contrasting look, the color block placement just makes it work. This particular
image was inspired by the classic cuts of the sixties and primary colours of the Bauhaus in addition to the contrast of Warhol but all with a modern twist.
The result is this bi-level look with modern texture and dramatic color blocking. Brian Leo McCallum (UK)
