CULT OF
BEAUTY
THIS LONDON EXHIBITION TELLS THE STORY OF THE
EVOLUTION OF BEAUTY IN SOCIETY THROUGH THE MEDIUM
OF ART, PHOTOGRAPHY, CINEMA AND, OF COURSE,
THE WORLD OF HAIRDRESSING.
E08
DEFINING BEAUTY is a theme of our
times. The mere word itself opens up a
plethora of ideas and reflections on
endless aspects of our society. The Cult of
Beauty is an exhibition at the Wellcome
Collection in London and runs until 28
April 2024. It explores definitions of
beauty through time and culture,
highlighting the profound influence that
morality, status, age, race and gender have
had on the evolution of the concept.
Among the over 200 objects and works of
art, there is also a large section dedicated
to hair: worth mentioning is the focus on
cultural traditions in both Nigeria and the
Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI)
community, as well as This Hair of Mine
(2017) - a film directed by internationally
acclaimed hairstylist, Cyndia Harvey.

■ STREETWISE STRONG. “Even short
men’s cuts can offer flexibility if
you know how to craft a smart cut so
that the wearer has multiple style
options. To create this confident
and modern take on the Caesar,
HERO Firm Hold Gel was worked
through clean, dry hair, then combed
through to shape and define the waves,
providing super shine without crunch.”

LOOKS FROM THE UK,

Gary Kelly & Marie Scarano
▲ CLASSIC MODERN. “This image is
timeless, representing a trend that never
goes out of style - the ‘buzz cut’- but
this time with a twist. Opting for an
all over cut, my vision was to create
something a little more unique, adding
a slight lift at the front section, which
gives portrays a vision of a ‘ledge’.
This slight addition gives the hair so
much more depth and allows the
individual to bring their classic look into
the modern day, with something a little
different.” Tracey Ann Smith (UK)
◆ WET LOOK. “The wet look is still in
for both men and women. These looks
may appear wash and wear but require
some specific products to achieve, such
as Pomades, gels and light hold sprays.”
Luigi Martini (USA)
● SPIKY SHAPE. “We need to look at
the world in another way and have
more patience and understanding.
I am often inspired by my godson
Kingneth, who is an autistic child.
From one side, autistic children can
get angry because their emotions are
more sensitive than ours. They can cry
and break down, but this is a form of
instinctive protection. From the other
side, they are kind and gentle; they
will instinctively protect themselves
like hedgehogs – hence my spiky shape
portrayed here.” Thiam Kui Siew
(Malaysia)

■ EXPERIMENTAL TEXTURE. ““We are
very fortunate to be in an era where
the male grooming market is progressing
at such an exceptional rate, trends are
continuously being unveiled and clients
are becoming much more experimental.
This image created by the 2023 Project
Men team is a true representation of
the market currently. Whilst different
textures, lengths and volumes are
becoming much more on trend, the
classic barbering techniques are still
very much present. This image
showcases the partnership of old and
new – the close head shave and blend,
with the longer length and texture used
throughout.” Simon Shaw (UK)
▲ CURL ENHANCEMENT. “I went for a
very low taper keeping the length in the
rest of the hair so I could really use
product to enhance the curls. My
inspiration for this look was having a
strong shape. Making a shape in a
hairstyle by keeping the hair long and
tapered in the edges. I love this image
because of the way the hair sits around
the head in perfect fashion.” Charles
Rose (UK)

◆ STYLE CONTRASTS. “Contrasting
lengths and textures make this look
perfect for any occasion, from casual to
black tie. Easy to maintain for guys with
curly hair. Why fight it when it can look
so good?” Cherry Petenbrink (USA)
● STATEMENT LOOK . “This image was
part of our Lustre collection, inspired
by 70s disco vibes! We wanted to
showcase a variety of creative hair looks,
using materials and wigs that would
create incredibly unique, statement hair
looks. This men’s look was created
using a wig made from rubber. I spray
painted it with silver paint and
then by stretching it, created a really
distressed effect and the illusion of
textures and tones.” Suzie McGill,
Rainbow Room International Artistic
Team (UK)

● SKINFADED QUIFF. “The skinfaded
quiff is a combination of two classic
elements: the fade, where the back of the
head and sides are cut extremely short
or shaved. The characteristic quiff on
top instead consists of longer hair styled
boldly.” Jürgen Niederl (USA)
■ ROCKABILLY TED. “I love my take on
the Rockabilly haircut. I was inspired
by a mix of the New Romantics and the
Teddy Boys. Guys during both eras took
pride in the way they dressed and would
take a lot of time and effort to make
their hair follow suit. Bauhaus and
The Stray Cats were also an inspiration
for this haircut. I wanted to embrace
that classic ‘elephant trunk’ styling,
leaving a slight disconnection through
the top and sides to keep it modern
with a retrospective twist.” Ryan
Chessman (UK)
▲ SKULLET/MULLET HYBRID. “This
image shows my skillset of razor work,
precision cutting, point cutting, fade
work and even a little pattern work. My
model Luke was the inspiration for this
cut. I have been cutting his hair for a
number of years now, so I am very aware
that his poker straight hair makes
shorted styles difficult to style, so
because of this he’s sported a buzz cut
for most of that time. But he wanted to
try something new that would give him
something to play about with and the
skullet/mullet hybrid was the perfect
style!” Ryan Lewis (UK)
◆ ZEITGEIST. “This look is a celebration
of modernity because it captures the
zeitgeist – individuals that are never
afraid to be who they are and never
follow the crowd.” Mike Taylor (USA)

FAR FROM BEING DISTANT COUSINS, THEY’RE ACTUALLY
JUST ABOUT AS CLOSELY RELATED AS YOU CAN GET!
FASHION & SPORT INFLUENCE, IMITATE AND BLEND IN
SUCH A WAY AS TO MAKE THEM 2 SIDES OF THE SAME COIN.
ALONGSIDE ITS STATUS as City of Art and Fashion, the
French capital is now ready to host the 2024 Olympic
Games. As a tribute, Paris is also staging an exhibition at the
Musée des Arts Décoratifs until 7th April. Mode et sport, d’un
podium à l’autre takes us on a journey back in time, from the
elegant chic of the Twenties through to the revolutionary
attitudes of the Sixties, showcasing, of course, each decade’s
take on fashion in sport. The exhibition focuses on the looks
that defined each era, demonstrating how fashion has, over
the years, embraced functionality without compromising on
style. Under the microscope are also those French fashion
designers who were instrumental in contributing to this
magnificent partnership: Lacoste, Patou, Hermès & Lanvin.

REDEFINING
THE DIVA
Gary Kelly
DIVA IS A MAJOR NEW EXHIBITION AT LONDON’S ICONIC V&A,
CELEBRATING THE EXTRAORDINARY POWER AND CREATIVITY
OF ICONIC PERFORMERS.
DIVA is a story of iconic performers
who with creativity, courage and
ambition have challenged the status
quo and used their voice and their
art to redefine and reclaim role
of ‘diva’. It also looks at how this
has been subverted or embraced over
time across opera, stage, popular
music, and film. DIVA also showcases
five key looks worn by global
phenomenon Rihanna, seen together
for the first time ever. The looks are
on display alongside 60 ensembles
and 250 objects drawn from the
V&A collection and loans from
across the world, spanning fashion,
photography, design, costumes,
music, and live performance.
The exhibition is generously
supported by NET-A-PORTER
and Kathryn Uhde.

Stay Ahead
of the Trend
You can stay one step ahead with Fresha’s first-ever trend report,
launched with trend forecaster WGSN.
The hair and beauty industry is constantly
evolving, as are the trends with which we
follow for fashion, style and business.
One of the great things about the hair,
beauty and barbering industry is it is
forever looking ahead and adapting to
changes in client behaviours, needs and
demands. Now, thanks to Fresha, you can
stay one step ahead as they partner with
leading trend forecasters WGSN, to
launch its first-ever trend report, packed
with insights that will drive the hair,
beauty and wellness industry forward.
INVALUABLE INSIGHTS
The team behind the Future of Beauty and
Wellness Report 2024 analysed 600
million Fresha bookings, scanned more
than 2,000 social media accounts and
spoke to more than 1,000 consumers
across the UK, US, Canada and Australia
to gain insights that will benefit salons
for the next years. From services and
treatments to client’s changing
expectations, the report gives an
invaluable insight into how business
owners can outpace the competition and
adapt for the client of the future. Over
the next five years salon owners should
expect to see a shift in client habits and
interests as they seek out services and
treatments that offer a holistic,
personalised approach, customer-centric
services and feelgood experiences.
HUGE OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH
The Global Wellness Institute has
projected the wellness economy - of
which hair and barber shops play a big
part - will nearly double in size by 2025,
signalling a huge opportunity for growth.
Trends such as dopamine beauty that
prioritise mental and emotional health
and deliver a natural high, will sit

#hairhasnogender has garnered almost
30m views on TikTok and is more
than just a trend, it’s a reality salons

Salons who respond to individual needs,
authentically acknowledging their

environments should cater for everyone,
the modern male still proves to be the
most loyal of clients, with the barber/

to achieve long-term goals and the
vision you have for your future success.
*Fresha has partnered with WGSN to uncover the most significant shifts in consumer
behaviour, and the treatment and service needs impacting the future landscape. We carried
out research in February 2023 across four countries (US, Canada, UK, Australia) with a total
of 1,000 respondents (250 per country). Participants were aged 18 to 60 years old and had
booked at least one appointment at a hair, grooming, beauty or wellness salon in
the past six months. This is the largest dataset of this kind in the beauty and wellness
industry, and includes over half a billion bookings made through Fresha’s software globally
from 2016 until the end of 2022.

Revealing creativity, inspiration and
excellence with more than 2000 professionals

The eagerly anticipated Kao Salon Global

that marks a remarkable showcase of innovation,
inspiration, and creativity, brought together
hairstylists from across the globe in Chicago for an
unforgettable event on September 24th and 25th,
2023. More than 2.000 international attendees
were treated to extraordinary presentations, an
exciting live hairdressing competition, and
captivating artist performances, all highlighting the
latest trends, techniques, and products that define
the Kao Salon Division family. Beyond an event,
it symbolized beauty industry innovation and
celebrated Goldwell's 75th brand anniversary,
marking decades of innovation and strong stylist
relationships. “At Kao Salon, creativity isn’t just a
buzzword – it’s our DNA,” says Dominic Pratt,
President, Kao Salon Division. “Our commitment
to innovation, imagination and integrity drives us
every day, and Kao Salon Global Experience is the

Estetica has exclusively interviewed Dominic Pratt: Global President,
Kao Salon Division and Eddie Wan: Asia Commercial Vice President.
Kao Salon Division.
Following the huge success of the
Kao Salon Asia Experience 2023 in
Taipei and the outstanding number
of National Winners from Asia at
the Global Creative Awards 2023 in
Chicago, Estetica interviewed
Dominic Pratt: Global President,
Kao Salon Division and Eddie Wan:
Asia Commercial Vice President,
Kao Salon Division, to hear their
views on the industry’s
achievements in this region.
DOMINIC PRATT: GLOBAL
PRESIDENT, KAO SALON
DIVISION
Tell us about Kao Salon
Division's specific strategies for
the Asia market.
There are particular challenges in
all parts of the world, so we are
lucky that our mother company is
in Japan and we are based in
Germany. This helps us to ensure
that we have products and
innovations suitable for the Asian
market as well as the rest of the
world. There are some situations
where global products work well in
all areas, for example, Oribe, which
doesn’t have an Asian version, but
still seems extremely popular there.
Then, for example, Goldwell colour
has an Asian specific line
specifically to cater for the needs
of Asian hair.
How is Goldwell colour
maintaining its superiority over
the many new Asian brands on
the market?
We have a strong and talented
commercial team led by Eddie
Wan, with offices in Hong Kong,
Singapore and Taiwan, as well as
the huge expertise, plus, of
course, our mother company in
Japan. Therefore, we have the
right educational opportunities and
right marketing plan to be able to
E42

compete and win against our
Asian competitors.
What about other brands that
have developed products
specifically targeted at the Asian
market, such as hair colour with
a lighter, more natural look?
Last year we launched Newance by
Topchic, so this is really an Asian
specific portfolio providing exactly
these types of shades. The demand
for them is not so great in Western
markets, but they are highly sought
after in Asian countries. As future
trends evolve in Asia, we will
continue to meet them head-on and
make sure we are always one step
ahead of the competition!
EDDIE WAN: ASIA COMMERCIAL
VICE PRESIDENT, KAO SALON
DIVISION
As Commercial Asia VP, what
strategies do you have to address
the challenge of retail product
sales in Asia?
Many Asian hairstylists perceive
salon retail as too much of a hard
sell. However, once they
understand that it’s just a part of
the customer servicing package,
they find it much easier to
embrace. In the USA and Europe,
it’s widely acceptable that after
you get a beautiful treatment in a
salon, you prolong it by continuing
with hair care at home, using
professional products. It is our

Kao Salon Division and (right) Eddie
Wan: Asia Commercial Vice President,
Kao Salon Division.
duty to convey this message to
our clients across our region.
We’ve recently seen Asian
participants achieving great
success at the Global Creative
Awards. How will you help them
to continue with this?
While Asian hairstylists were seen
to be more imitative in the past,
nowadays they understand that
maintaining their originality is a
prime factor for success.
Therefore, they need to go on
defining themselves by upholding
the idea of Asian Beauty and being
unique in the international arena.
From a brand perspective, we can
do this through our promotional
campaigns and by establishing
artistic teams in various Asian
regions. They must continue to
communicate and exchange ideas
throughout all the regions, so
everyone gets the chance to both
inspire and be inspired.
Many professional hair brands
have expanded their reach
beyond traditional sales platforms
by selling online and venturing
into the consumer market. What
is your view on this?
We must always keep our
principles intact and uphold our
professionalism, remembering the
salons and artists we work with.
They are our partners and
we will always put them first.
When committing to multi-channel
sales, we must be very careful to
maintain consistency not only with
pricing, but also with brand
positioning.
Each channel has its own
advantages and we must learn
how to optimise them when
formulating our sales strategies.
Interaction between hairstylist and
customer is key, as customers can
understand so much more about
product function and application.
