So to start of this blog we must catch you up on a few things we've been doing in salon! The year is 2014 and it's been an extremely exciting year for everyone involved with The Egg. We have accomplished so much in such a short amount of time and are continuing to grow bigger and bigger.
To get you up to date of where we currently are we will introduce you to Creative Director of the Salon - Callum Standen (pictured above). He is one of the Founders of The Egg and works creatively releasing seasonal collections for the salon..
Our launch Collection 'The Asylum' which was in association with The Fellowship of British hairdressing. Pictured above it was a shock value collection we conjured up under Callums wing to capture the attention of our audiences and to display good hair at the same time.
The Collection was based on Pre-Nineteen Hundreds mental asylums and the disturbia caused to the patients & visiters. Inspired by the abandoned asylums that are still erected today, we looked at 'Beauty in Decay' which incorporated strong outlines with texture inside . Other inspirations which lead the collection to a much more modern level were movies such as 'Girl Interrupted' where Angelina Jolie plays a character named 'Lisa Rowe' who according to Wikipedia is 'A diagnosed sociopath who easily manipulates the woman around her'. Working with Choreographer Steven Knights we aimed to inprison that with the models on stage.
Using a mixture of 'Tigi Hard Head' hair spray and 'Sassoon shine spray' the team created beautiful movement in hair that was teamed with very strong look using Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation in White & big dark swollen lips created with Illamasqua Lipstick in Kontrol the collection was complete.
Music featured on the stage of Professional Hair Live in Manchester was Crookers - That Laughing Track to grab the attention of passerby and the audience at The Fellowship Newcomers show in January & Professional Hair Pro Live in March and their is where the collection was born! This S/S 14 collection wanted to show a dark and periodic collection incorporating white alternative fashion which we found refreshing from floral and we hope you enjoyed it if you haven't seen it before..
