Angelo Seminara Takes Centre Stage At The Davines 2015 Hair Show In London, Allilon Education And Blue Tit Wow The Audience, And The World Style Contest Uk Winner Is Finally Revealed.

The renowned fashion incubator, Central Saint Martins, in London, played host to the hotly-anticipated 2015 Davines Hair on Stage Show on Sunday. This inspiring venue saw more than 370 hairdressers, industry names and members of the trade press gather together for a night of creativity at its finest from its affiliated guest artists and emerging hairdressing talent and supporting salons. The night also played host to The Crafts – Allilon Education’s pioneering platform for the arts, bringing together unique names from the worlds of art, craft and hair for a night to influence, energise and inspire.

Mike Beauchamp, Davines UK Country Manager opened with a warm welcome speech focusing on the company’s cornerstone value of Sustainable Beauty, and unveiled its new Manifesto video to guests. Connected to the same concept was the powerful Conservation International video that followed, featuring the voice of Julia Roberts as Mother Nature, putting mankind’s dependence on nature – and the need to preserve it –into perspective.

Connected to the same concept was the powerful Conservation International video that followed, featuring the voice of Julia Roberts as Mother Nature, putting mankind’s dependence on nature – and the need to preserve it –into perspective.

Allilon then gave the stage to the emerging talents of the World Style Contest a global, annual competition that offers hairdressers the ability to express their creativity and talent through photography and on-stage performance.

The 2015 UK national finalists Bec Sun from Pimps & Pin Ups, Silvio Hauke from Blue Tit, and Francesca Amantis from Seed, all London-based salons, battled it out with their model looks for the vote of the public and the esteemed panel of judges: Angelo Seminara (Davines Artistic Director), Pedro Inchecko, (Allilon Education), Cameron Amos (Taylor Taylor); Ruth Hunsley (Hairdressers’ Journal International), Beth Davie (Creative HEAD), Nicky Pope (Tribute), Maria Weijers (freelance), and Emma Elliott, (Chalk PR). Silvio Hauke from Blue Tit was crowned winner on the night for his stunning Avant Garde colour interpretation and will have his own show at next year’s Hair on Stage UK. All UK contest entries will also compete internationally for a place at the global World Style Contest Grand Final, which will take place during the 2016 Davines World Wide Hair Tour in Los Angeles in January.

Next up was Blue Tit Art Team. This niche East London salon group treated guests to a bold introduction to the brand’s creative, nomadic style. Headed up by directors Perry Patraszewski, Andy Hinteregger and team, the show, called Senses, took guests on a sensorial journey, with each model’s hair inspired by one of the senses: sound, vision, smell, taste and kinetic touch. Their nine models lit up the stage, while the brand’s 3D collection images were displayed on screen, with guests wearing 3D glasses provided by the team to be able to see the images in their full technicolour glory.

“We love collaborating with Davines; the brand has an independence and originality that we feels works in synergy with ours,” said director Perry Patraszewski.

Last to the stage was Davines Artistic Director, Angelo Seminara, and his trusted colourist, International Creative Colour Ambassador, Edoardo Paludo. The duo’s creative talent turned night to dawn, metaphorically at least, with their new Davines Goldess collection. Taking inspiration from Aurora, the Goddess of Roman mythology who bought the dawn, the essence of Goldess collection is its colour – an array of warm metallic hues shimmering through the hair of the models suggesting the first rays of sunlight, the soft glimmers of dawn, breaking through the retreating night. the art of beauty & well-being 7

Key to those colour techniques is a special tool, as explained

by Angelo Seminara: “I love combining creative colours with classic shapes created using the Davines Flamboyage technique. For Goldess this colouring technique was used to capture the amazing tones from the various elements.”

After a show to remember, guests enjoyed drinks and food at the Central Saint Martins theatre bar, while music from DJ Rudy Ranks ensured guests could party through into the early hours. Mike Beauchamp’s closing comments described well the mood of the evening: "We were thrilled to host the 2015 Hair on Stage at Central Saint Martins again this year, as it’s the perfect backdrop to the innovation and inspiration that was showcased to the Davines community this evening.

Davines is going from strength to strength in the UK and our guest artists and affiliated salons did everyone proud.”

Whether you’re going for floating eyeliner, graphic blocks of eyeliner, brushed-up brows or smoky feline eyes, it’s important to have a flawless complexion as a foundation to your statement eye make-up. HD Brows Make Up Fluid Foundation, available in nine shades, gives the high-coverage, semi-matte finish needed to let the eyes take centre stage. Effortlessly covering blemishes, yet letting natural radiance shine through, it provides the perfect backdrop for show-stopping eyes.

If look-at-me eye make-up isn’t for you, and you prefer a more paired back look, then step away from the bold eye trends and take your lead from the trend for healthy glowing skin. Think windswept and fresh, a look that’s easy to recreate using the Sculpt & Glow Palette, the newest product in the HD Brows Make Up 81-strong collection. After creating a flawless base, using the Fluid Foundation, use your fingers to rub the darker shade from the Sculpt & Glow Palette in to the apples of your cheek, for a wind-kissed look. Then use the lighter highlighting shade to add a beautiful delicate sheen to cheekbones, brow bones, the ridge of your nose and your cupid’s bow. Keep eye and lip make-up to a minimum, let your glowing skin do the talking and wait for the compliments to roll in...

Fuller, fluffier lashes…

The American Way As the demand for natural, un-detectable eyelash extensions continues to grow, it’s more important than ever to stay ahead of the curve, offering your clients the very latest in lash artistry and customer satisfaction.

Known as the ‘healthiest’ lash extension system in the industry, American-born lash brand, NovaLash is set to shake up the lash market at Olympia Beauty this October with the launch of a new and exciting technique and training class amply named, American Volume.

Designed to achieve thicker, fluffier and more natural looking lashes for longer, the American Volume technique has been developed

by American-based, Sophia Navarro, the lash extension industry’s preeminent Master Trainer and the brains behind NovaLash’s awardwinning Classic Lash technique.

Unlike other lash techniques, the training for American Volume is centered around a ‘Foundation’ technique, which Sophia has perfected. This technique has been proven to help eliminate obvious gaps along the lash line as clients’ natural lashes shed, thus creating a more natural and sophisticated look and longer wear time between maintenance appointments.

What’s more, whereas a traditional volume lash application may take up to 3 hours, NovaLash promises to reduce this by half with

VOLUME

the launch of its NEW High Speed Platinum Bond – the same oil-poof, patent-pending formula NovaLash is known for, to produce the most durable results on the market. In addition to this, NovaLash will also be launching diamond-dusted forceps that not only look fabulous, but are practical too. The real diamonds covering the surface of the tool are designed to make grabbing multiple lashes for the service easier and less time consuming.

The new American Volume technique, together with the newly designed product range means that clients can go an incredible 6 weeks between infills. When adding American Volume services salons can expect to build long-term, loyal clients who keep up with their lash services.

Launching its first class in London this November, the full day American Volume class has been created to help lash artists (with at least 6 months experience) master more sophisticated lash techniques using a range of new lash volume products to create beautifully styled lashes in a fraction of the time.

7) Any favourite brands?

I love Illamsqua and really like how creative their advertising is. It really inspires you to look at the face as a canvas. Their creative director Alex Box started out in a Fine Art background too and you can see her artistic influence in every aspect of the company, right down to their products. The bright bold colours available mean you can have fun with your makeup again! Their Hydra Veil Primer is also a fantastic base for any makeup and skin tone and comes with a tiny spoon which makes it feel really luxurious.

to make people feel at ease is one of the most important skills you can learn as a makeup artist. Having a stranger do their makeup can be really nerve wracking experience for some people and it's important to take this into consideration.

9) Any favourite or memorable shoots?

Last year I worked on a photography project which consisted of a series of portraits of famous people originating from the North of England. It was a great series of work including stars such as Craig Charles, Brian Cox, Patrick Stewart and Claire Sweeney but

One of my favourite looks will always be the 1940's inspired vintage look of red lipstick and black winged liner. It's flattering on so many skin tones and has stood the test of time as being a go-to look that oozes Hollywood glamour. But it's really all relative to what the client wants and suits, and every client is individual. For example there's no way I would put heavy red lipstick on a Bridal client who never wears makeup and would feel uncomfortable. The client is the most important thing in the day and it's really important to listen and judge what they would feel comfortable with. Being able

He was such a friendly man and it was such a low key shoot, just the photographer, myself and Sir Ian McKellen in the room swapping stories while taking his photo.

SEEDS

It’s a simple concept, and you’re going to love it. We’ve taken the goodness of Mother Nature and infused seed’s nutrient rich properties into unique products formulated to provide maximum health and healing.

We all deserve to live a life full of vitality, energy, and happiness. When we’re healthy we feel amazing and are at our best we can accomplish anything.

Unfortunately a poor diet, increased environmental toxins, exposure to chemicals, and a decrease in physical fitness can cause our bodies to suffer from a range of debilitating aliments. Soul and Core’s powerful infusion of seed’s nutrition refreshes both body and mind, while enhancing general wellbeing.

Seeds are the genesis of life. They grow into plants, herbs, and fruits to substation billions. Seeds are the most concentrated form nutrition produced in nature. Rain International is the first to harness this concentrated power of seeds in their most unaltered state to create delicious, powerful packets of pure nutrition.

By focusing 100% to the source of all nutrition Rain International has created a completely new product category.

Cold press - The secret isn’t just the seeds, but how we unlock the concentrated nutrition within those seeds. We use a unique cold pressed process that separates the seed fibre from the liquids, which are complex with antioxidants, essential fatty acids, phospholipids, dissolved minerals, and phytosteroids. Even the seed fibre contains water-soluble antioxidant compounds. When a seed’s natural compound are cold-pressed, a potent concentration of natural, sustaining in energy is created. We infuse this into each of our products. As a result, you’ll feel stronger and healthier –knowing you have the purest form of nutrition.

The process does not damage the nutrition found in seeds, unlike harsh chemical or high heat methods. Many of our customers tell their own stories about how Soul has benefited their health.

Introducing SOUL and Core -The Next Frontier in Seed Nutrition

Imagine something…

So small containing the antioxidant equivalent of 8-10 servings of fruit and vegetables and 2-3 servings of healthy fatty oils.

Imagine SOUL .

In fact, the seed contains 30 times more nutrient and antioxidant than the surrounding fruit tissues.

Rain Soul employs ingredients derived from a cold pressed process that accesses the nutrient-rich oils and flours from botanical seeds without altering their chemical composition. The result: powerful nutrients and essential fatty acids that help the body maintain balance and avoid today’s most pressing needs.

Made from three main ingredients, Black Cumin Seed, or nigella sativa, Black Raspberry Seed and Chardonnay Grape Seed. All three ingredients are sources of nutrients, vitamins and minerals.

Rain Core is packed with nutrients from notable seeds and greens. Within Rain Core are: Chlorophyllin, Aloe vera, Spirulina, Wheat Grass, Cranberry Seed, Milk Thistle Seed, Kale, Black Cumin Seed, Chlorella and Dandelion. Each of these ingredients contributes to good health and has a powerful effect on your body.

Core - Synergizes the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most powerful plant nutrients into one healthy seed supplement.

1. MILK THISTLE SEEDS- The leaves, fruits and seeds of milk thistle have been used for centuries as a natural preparation. Milk thistle is one of the world's most powerful liver detoxifying agents.

2. CRANBERRY SEEDS- One of the most nutritious parts of cranberry is the seed. The oil from the cranberry seed contains high levels of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids.

3. KALE- Kale is considered one of the most nutritious vegetables in the world and is known as the "original superfood." Kale contains high amounts of sulfur and dietary fibre.

4. WHEAT GRASS- What grass is composed of the young shoots of wheat before stalks form a head with grain. It contains no wheat gluten, and is considered by many natural health professionals to possess many health properties.

5. BLACK CUMIN SEEDS- Hundreds of studies have been conducted on black cumin which have shown that compounds from the seeds help fight health ailments. Black Cumin Seeds contain over 100 chemical compounds.

6. SPIRULINA - Spirulina is one of the most widely studied foods on the planet. In fact, studies in the last decade alone have shown that the regular consumption of spirulina can help enhance general health helping almost any nutrient deficiency due to its incomparable concentrations of vitamins and minerals.

7. CHLORELLA - Chlorella, derived from single-celled algae, has long been eaten in numerous Oriental countries and is a true "superfood." It is approximately 60 percent protein, providing the same quality of protein as eggs. It is also a good source of lipid -soluble vitamins, choline, essential minerals and fibre.

8. ALOE VERA - Ancient Egyptians dubbed aloe vera the "plant of immortality." Aloe vera can be a powerful agent when taken internally. It can help soothe the digestive and/or intestinal system.

9. DANDELION - Dandelion roots, sap and leaves are powerful ways to help keep the body healthy, ranging from improving liver function to combating skin conditions and more.

10. CHLOROPHYLLIN - Chlorophyll aids in the removal of various toxins via the liver and remains a key compound for improving the function of essential detoxification pathways.

Resense Prescribes A New Elemental Herbology “Suite Amenity Line” Exclusively For Kempinski Hotels European spa brand, Resense, is extending one of their core values of delivering exceptional guest experiences beyond the spa, with the introduction of a new results driven amenity range. Working with boutique brand, Elemental Herbology, Resense has prescribed a range of high-quality amenities that will be exclusively available in suites throughout Kempinski Hotels globally. Packed with nutrients and natural aromatherapeutic plant oils along with botanical extracts, the Elemental Herbology range is renowned for delivering visible results. Each of the products is 100% free from synthetic fragrance and colours, parabens, sulphates and mineral oil, showcasing the brand’s overarching natural approach to cosmetics.

The Products: Made in Italy and prescribed by Resense, the amenity range consists of four “base products”, handpicked for their individual efficacy. The Deep Cleanse (body wash), Shiny Locks (shampoo) and Hair Soufflé (conditioner) adds an element of luxury to guests’ shower rituals, while the Skin Drink (body lotion) will deeply hydrate leaving skin nourished and soft.

Additional products such as Hand Soap, Hand Wash, Hand Lotion, Facial Cleanser and a Facial Hydrator are also available. For guests wanting a more indulgent experience, the Thermal Detox Bath Salts are ideal for soaking away toxins while soothing tired muscles.

With 50ml, 100ml and 300ml bottles, the collection offers more product than most amenity ranges, while the “apothecary – style” bottles emphasise the pure ingredients within.

“Employing the original retail and professional spa formulations in many of the amenity products has allowed us to maintain the quality and integrity with which Elemental Herbology has become synonymous,” says Elemental Herbology founder, Kristy Cimesa.

“This new project sees the partnering of three European brands, each dedicated to delivering the highest quality experience to their consumer,” says Resense CEO, Kasha Shillington. “The new amenity line comes as a result of two years of intensive research and development by Elemental Herbology and Resense, in order to create a line that not only delivers visible results but also allows guests to enjoy their own personal in-room spa experience.”

ABSOLUTE EFFECTS

Problem Solvers For Every Skin Type

Introducing the De Luxe range of machines and skin rejuvenation treatments including the new absolute effects serums and a revelation in natural skincare!

With multiple treatment options on one machine you can offer a wealth of different skin regeneration procedures; allowing salons to target anything from deep cleansing of teenagers to plumping up lines and wrinkles of the more mature client.

The Oxyjet De Luxe leading where others follow - adopts the brand’s patented pulsed oxygen technology to boost the skin without needles!

Costing between £5,000 & £10,000 including training, products and ongoing support; the salon can generate over £80,000 a year with only 60% usage.

These specially formulated serums are pumped into the skin via short bursts of pure oxygen; forming a deposit in the deeper basal layers. Scientifically tested, pure and highly effective, the biomatrix is improved, and the skins regeneration process motivated; resulting in a visibly enhanced skin tone, reduction of lines and wrinkles, even pigmentation and improved circulation.

Everybody‘s skin has different needs and requires an individual skincare regime to obtain optimal results. Sometimes it is not enough to apply ‘normal’ creams and lotions in order to improve your skin and make it feel and look good.

ABSOLUTE EFFECTS are brand new range of serums containing active ingredients with proven effectiveness, highly concentrated and free from fragrances, parabens and mineral oils. They are so effective and so pure that your professional therapist can also use them together with the OXYJET pulsed oxygen pressure injection system from Nora Bode for deeper penetration of the serums along with the professional use treatment ampoules in salon.

For home use, the intensively moisturizing and oil free consistency of all ABSOLUTE EFFECTS serums makes them the optimal problem solver for every skin type. The range includes Volume, Energy Reload, Brightening, Sensitive and Purifying, and can be used under any moisturiser, but we recommend Care Fluid from our BEAUTY TOX range of homecare products.

The Energy Reload Serum has received the accolade Marie Claire Best Beauty 2014 – Top 5 Moisturiser for Men Tel: 01775 722243 www.oxyjetuk.co.uk
