Creative combos
Professional colourists worldwide challenge themselves to
study colour theory and geometries for original designs.
Gary Kelly and Marie Scarano
Hairdressers and colourists glean their inspiration from nature, architecture, and more to create original cut ’n’ colour
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. Colour 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 colours and sharp lines to really
make the colours pop. My aim was to create a bold image that was all about the hair and for me, the contrasting colours combined with the precision cut is the
perfect example of that!” Chelsea Bate (UK)

BI-LEVEL BOLD
Colour blocking is the colour 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 colour has its place and even though it’s such a contrasting look, the colour 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 colour blocking. Brian Leo McCallum (UK)
