Your Questions Answered

Q) What is your favourite hair trend for spring summer 2012?
A)  I particularly love the high pony-tail look, with a front section of hair left out and either backcombed or twisted into the ponytail!  It’s quite a modern and sexy look. SIXTIES-INSPIRED chignons,  Gatsby-esque Marcel waves and Thirties up-dos - the spring/summer 2012 shows saw a host of past eras being referenced for the models' hair looks. Ballet buns, ponytails and French plaits that have already made their way onto the red carpet. 

Q) Which celebrity has the most stylish hair, in your opinion?
A) There are some fantastic looks in show business, but I think that Scarlett Johansen’s red carpet hair-up look is very striking.  The back of her hair was pinned up into a bob and the rest was in waves and left to cascade down her back. 

Q) What made you want to become a hairdresser?
A) I have a true love of art and design, and I love new creations in hair and fashion.  I seemed to have a flair for hairdressing, and the skills involved, I can honestly say to this day I love what I do.

THE ALTERNATIVE HAIR SHOW


Josh was selected as one of 10 winners chosen to participate at the inspiring Alternative Hair Show held at the magnificent Royal Albert Hall in London. The theme of the show was "Renaissance" and Joshua's piece was a photograph of a hairstyle designed by him to illustrate this idea. When interviewed, Josh said; 

"This dramatic look was then translated on the night using a model. The exquisite hair; fashion styling and make-up application resulted in a truly incredible creation".

There was no doubt as to the reaction of the audience, with over 5,000 attending they all showed their appreciation through applause and cheers! Tony Rizzo and Celebrity Hairdresser Anthony Mascolo presented the award and Joshua added "It was a wonderful evening that challenged me and pushed my creativity. It also allowed me the opportunity to work alongside other artistic hairdressers. As well as the kudos of being a winner at this show - standing on the stage of the Royal Albert Hall is an awesome experience!"
