5 minutes with Evo Colour Creative Director

Stevie English

My drink of choice is:

Wow, I have so many! Definitely tequila, preferably Añejo.

When I cook for people, they say:

Stick to colouring hair.

If I have two weeks off, you can find me: Surfing and spending time with my family.

Last year, I played this song the most:

Gonna love Me -Teyana Taylor.

The title of my autobiography would be:

The Colourblind Colourist.

When I was younger, I wanted to be a:

Circus Performer.

My guilty pleasure is:

Surfing and playing FIFA on Xbox.

The most read book on my shelf is:

I don’t often read books more than once - but have read Lord of the Rings 3 times.

A movie that I could watch over and over is:

Watching home movies of my kids when they where young. Back to the Future or Star Wars.

No one knows this about me, but I can: Ride a unicycle (well when I was younger).

A question I constantly ask myself is:

Do I need more sneakers - answer is always YES!

To me, the most iconic hairstyle in history is:

Mohawk I love the antiestablishmentarianism of this look. Closely followed by Marge Simpson.

My top tip for getting the most out of your colour:

Use great products... Evo. But to be honest I want you to go out in the sun, jump in the surf, live your life and comeback see your hairdresser regularly and be happy.

The one evo product that should be on everyone’s shelf is:

Soap Dodger. Because: Clean hands are life saving.

My kit isn’t complete without:

My tail comb - but love having the freedom of Fab Pro with me

The weirdest shoot I’ve worked on is:

I did a shoot for Hairexpo, it was for a film behind the dancers on stage and we had a topless dancer drinking blood, and a contortionist fire thrower. Shit got weird but looked super cool and I was stoked with the outcome.

The coolest place I’ve travelled for work is:

I’m lucky I have travelled a lot, but loved Russia. Amazing hairdressers there!

The most unique person I’ve ever worked with is:

Kobi Bokshish.

The strangest request I’ve had from a client:

People are weird, but that’s what I love. I had a client who wanted to have the same hair colour as her cat so they looked more like a family, totally cuckoo so obviously I did it.

Anything else you want to tell us?

Just happy to be a part of the Haircare family. And, call your mother.
