The New Colour Code

Fancy going icy blonde for winter?

The New Colour Code

Fashion plays a huge part when it comes to creating hair colour trends and techniques; Westrow’s Technical Director Jenny Pelter talks us through the new looks.

Coloured hair is already emerging as one of the key trends for autumn winter 2013. Having already popped up at Pringle and Meadham Kirchoff, Prada in Milan and Jean Paul Gaultier in Paris for, hair is set to go colour crazy if the runways are anything to go by. The trend for darker hair is set to be much more about bold, clashing colours, merging into one another. Prada showcased a great collection with models walking the runways with dip-dyed locks of clashing colours of copper, red and black tones. A very different look when compared with the spring summer candy coloured dip dyes – things are a lot more grungy for autumn.

Dip-dye is shaping up to quite literally be one of this decade’s highlights and it looks like it’s here to stay, evolving every season with a slight twist to keep things fresh. It’s a technique that allows clients to colour their hair without the commitment. Jean Paul Gaultier turned dip-dye on its head this season, with his models showcasing multi-coloured, painted freestyle roots for a Goth vibe and this is going be a big trend to look out for in 2013.

Blondes will look less maintained – roots will be key, in line with a grungier feel, and dark roots will look cool rather than unkempt. 

Reddish coppers are also set to be big next season – think Jessica Rabbit style, long, beautifully-shiny locks with glossy coppery tones.

Multi-tonal shades continue the red legacy for winter...

Teamed with lilac, dove grey is perfectly pretty

Westrow Westpark Shortlisted for Best Creative Team

The Westrow, West Park Team

WESTROW WESTPARK SHORTLISTED FOR BEST SALON TEAM AT CREATIVE HEAD’S MOST WANTED AWARDS

“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success,” claimed industrial revolutionary Henry Ford – and he was right. A truly successful business lays claim to an exceptionally loyal and dedicated workforce at its heart.

Consistently providing excellent service and skill while upholding a strong work ethic and fostering a sky-high team spirit, Westrow West Park has secured a coveted place in the prestigious final of Creative HEAD’s 2012 Most Wanted awards.

Shortlisted in the BEST SALON TEAM category, the Westrow team will now be heading to London for the glittering Most Wanted Grand Final, taking place at the Royal Courts of Justice on Monday 3 September. With a celebrity host at the helm, this year’s winners will be announced in front of an audience packed with VIPs from the worlds of hair, fashion and the media.

Celebrating star quality and respecting the very best, the Most Wanted awards, joined this year by 10 leading industry brand sponsors, recognise and reward an array of hairdressing disciplines – from business innovators and highly skilled colourists, to first-class teams delivering supreme customer service.

Judged by a prestigious panel of experts, including Laura Bacharach, respected beauty journalist and blogger, and Nergish Wadia-Austin, founder and chief executive of industry performance service PHAB Standard, BEST SALON TEAM finalists have demonstrated a commitment to first class teamwork via an inspiring programme of in-salon awards and incentives, and team-building initiatives.

The BEST SALON TEAM award, sponsored by Paul Mitchell, is one of 10 Most Wanted categories that will be awarded on the night. Each winner will take home a stylish trophy, a bespoke prize courtesy of their category sponsor, and exclusive editorial coverage in Creative HEAD magazine and online – not to mention enjoy a glamorous evening of celebration, including top entertainment, dinner, cocktails and partying into the night.

Catherine Handcock, publisher of Creative HEAD, says:

The Most Wanted Awards Grand Final is a fabulous opportunity to recognise and reward the UK’s finest creative talents and business pros. If you want to know who’s really ‘happening in hair’, the Most Wanted awards is the place to look!”
