To celebarte graduating Amy held a hair show spectacular at RMUK on Tuesday 7th June.
Her theme for her show was Moulin Rouge, her inspiration was the song Lady Marmalade famously sung by Christina Aguilera et al.
Amy wanted to push her boundaries and created looks on her models that wouldn’t necessarily be worn in everyday life.
Amy found her show stressful at times but a very rewarding challenge.
Well done Amy!!

Our Graduate stylist, Amy, recently went twice to London to take part in Central St. Martins fashion shows. The first show Amy and 3 other L’oreal stylists created hairstyles for the models walking the runway. Amy created a look with plaits leaving the hair very natural, not too sleek and polished. The plaits were sealed with thread. The brief was natural hair styles so not to take the emphasis away from the clothes.
On Amy’s second visit she created hair styles on 3 models for Central St. Martins BA fashion show. Here she rubbed shoulders with celebrities such as Daisy Lowe, who was a model for the show, as well as working hard back stage. Her brief was messy, textured hair. Amy created a look of a quiff at the front, hair loose over the ears and tied into a knot at the nape of the neck. Others celebrities at the show included Christopher Kane, Hilary Alexander, Meadham and Kirchhoff, Craig Laurence, Lanvin’s menswear designer Lucas Ossendrivej and the Deputy Fashion Editor of the Financial Times, Carola Long.
Amy feels like she has learnt a lot from her experiences backstage. She has learnt to work as a team, new ways to create different hairstyles, learnt different hairstyles from what she has done before. The hairstyles she created are something different to how she styles her clients hair on a day to day basis within the salon. She also learnt how to use different resources such as thread rather than elastic bands to seal a style, also how to use different equipment such as tongs.
Well done Amy, here’s to more session work for you!

There’s been a growing interest in this product ever since it was introduced. And it’s no wonder. LATISSE® is the first and only FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.Discover the LATISSE® difference.LATISSE® solution is a growth treatment for lashes. In fact, it’s the only FDA-approved treatment clinically proven to grow lashes. And it’s the only lash growth product of its kind available by prescription. So you’ll need to talk to your doctor to see if it’s right for you.LATISSE® grows lashes longer, fuller and darker.LATISSE® solution is a once-nightly treatment you apply topically to the base of your upper eyelashes, as instructed by your doctor. Then, gradually, the results come in. You may start to see more length in as little as 4 weeks and you should achieve full growth in 16 weeks. It’s not an illusion of growth. It’s real lash growth.How LATISSE® works.LATISSE® makes lash growth possible because of its active ingredient: bimatoprost. Although the precise mechanism of action is unknown, LATISSE® is believed to affect the growth (anagen) phase of the eyelash hair cycle in two ways: first, it increases the length of this phase, and second, it increases the number of hairs in this growth phase.The history behind LATISSE®.LATISSE® was created by Allergan, a pharmaceutical leader with 60 years of eye care expertise. In 2001, Allergan developed a medicated eye drop to treat elevated intraocular pressure. Many patients using this medication also began to grow longer, fuller and darker lashes as a side effect. This led Allergan to study the medication’s active ingredient, bimatoprost, specifically for growing lashes. After a clinical trial, LATISSE® was approved by the FDA in December of 2008.
Great eyelashes don’t just happen overnight. That’s why it’s important to note that LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% works gradually and remarkably — with full results at week 16. Once you begin, you must continue applying the topical solution each night and follow the directions for best results. Remember, results are gradual over time. And also remember, if you stop using LATISSE® at any time, your eyelashes will return to their previous appearance over several weeks to months.
Your eyelashes will experience real measurable growth.
LATISSE® works from the inside out. As the treatment progresses, you’ll first begin to see changes in length. Then, gradually, you’ll notice more thickness and darkness in your lashes. If you’re satisfied with your results by week 8, don’t stop there. Stick with the treatment. After week 16, you’ll see the full effect of LATISSE® solution — and so will others. After that, you can talk to your doctor about ongoing use.
