"There is an explosion of texture happening with hair this spring," explains Tim Hartley, international artistic director for Vidal Sassoon based in London, England. "We are pushing the boundaries of shape and texture in our collections, with disconnected cuts, colour and perming."
Hartley says the gamine bob, punctuated with an ultra-short fringe, will continue its reign as the look. A permed underside, with vibrant chunks of magenta shot throughout, kick-starts the style for spring.
"People are not scared of color and perming anymore," explains Annie Humphreys, Sassoon's director of technical and colour research. "We're dealing with a younger generation, who largely have never been exposed to the damaging effects of color or harsh perming."
Colour guru Daniel Galvin agrees. Galvin, who became UK's first color tech in 1963, has now found a home, and a voice, in Toronto with the opening of Daniel Galvin Salon in Holt Renfrew, launched in the fall of 1997. He has witnessed colour evolve from harsh bleach jobs to today's conditioning colour agents, appealing to a wider range of clientele.
"Hair without colour is like a face without makeup," Galvin insists. "If the hair is the wrong tone, eyes can look drab. When you have the perfect colour, the eyes should jump out.
