FAME Team update with Mathew Sutcliffe..A Day With Richard from Saco-London.
Venue: Saco Academy, Goodge Street, London.

When arriving at the Saco Academy we were greeted by Brett- one of the senior educators at Saco. Brett is from the Gold Coast and is an ex-FAME Team member from nearly ten years ago. After briefly talking to Brett, naturally everyone felt at home as there was common ground between us (everyone shared the same interests and passions).

We were then taken down in to the main seminar and educator area and asked take a seat. A short video of Richard and Saco's work was played before Richard made his entrance with two stunning models.

After introducing himself, Richard and Brett showcased some of the best cutting skills I've ever seen!

On Richards model he wanted to create a strong online with disconnection- resulting in a multifunctional haircut.

Brett worked a short bob with a fringe that enhanced her natural features.

Their style of work is more about the suitability to the client/model and how each element of the haircut works with the natural features and hair textures.
This is a great rule at Saco and you can see it throughout all the work they do.

After a short break we were introduced to Richards second model- a long dark haired girl. He demonstrated how haircuts can be incorporated in to longer hairstyles without having to do a generic layer that is mostly commonly found in salons.

Sam, the colour specialist, then set about colouring Brett's first model. Stating that the same rule applies when working with colour; 'style is suitability.' Sam is very articulated in his use of words with her descriptions of colour being like poetry. It is obvious her knowledge of colour is second to none.

We worked on one model each in the afternoon. (supplied by Saco) Not only was this a great opportunity to work with Richard and his team but to also see where were with our own team and see where we wanted to take our forthcoming shoots, shows and seminars.

This was one of the best days of my career! Richard and Saco know their shit!
