Hair Trends 2010…Jeff chats with Stephen Foyle from Detail for Men

Tell me about yourself?
I’m a hairdresser/session stylist and one of the owners of Detail For Men in Sydney. [Stephen was American Crew Cutter of the Year 2009].
Tell me about your salon?
It’s a male specific total body workshop for guys in the CBD delivering premium haircuts, facials, massage and all kinds of waxing!
Men’s hair style influences for 2010?
Definitely college preppy look is big and super short buzz cuts with a flat top are going to be big for the more adventurous.
What’s best for men curly vs. straight?
Either cropped really short or grown to a longer layered and texturised shape.
Which celebs are forward hairstyle wise?
Definitely guys like David Beckham and Paul Weller always produce the goods and girls like Kate Moss and Gwen Stefani are always really cool.
Colour preference?
I’m a brunette guy.
Womens hair style influences for 2010?
Beautiful flowing long layers with really natural highlights and long bangs.
What’s best for women curly vs. straight?
Curly hair needs to be layered in a way to minimise the boof! Take the weight out without going too short. For straight hair, it is important to cut the hair with soft curves so as not to get lines of squared off sections.
What are your clients embracing at the moment?
For the guys “Mad Men” style short back and sides is big and girls are getting more full fringes with strong colours.
Which products are rocking at the moment?
Guys are loving the American Crew Tea Tree Styling Cream for the 1950′ s slick back side part look and the guys who like texture are using Baxter’s Clay. Girls are using David Babaii Bohemian Beach Spray for “beach” hair texture and volume.
What’s new in grooming?
Guys are getting spray tans in big numbers so I guess the white look is out!
What’s next for Detail?
I think it might be time to give the ladies the same attention the guys are now getting at DFM…Check our services for women http://www.detailformen.com/ladiesmenu.html

Grammys 2010 Hits & Misses

(1 Feb 2010) Sci-Fi Convention or Hookers & Harlots Party?
For an industry that is renowned for its forward-directional styling, this year’s Grammys saw a lot of skin and bizarre treatments inspired by Sci-Fi and in some cases bondage. Quite the disappointment!

Misses
Technology was given a nod from indie artist Imogen Heap who frocked up in a handmade “Twitter Dress”.

J Lo failed to recreate history with her “split personality” Versace silver chain mail mini dress with long white silk chiffon overlay, belted at the waist.

Katy Perry wore tone on tone and looked like a roll of Nanna’s wallpaper.

Russian wannabe poptart Nadeea shocked in her barely there outfit and Bowie-esque face paint.

Sadly Heidi Klum also bombed by revealing all of her “trade secrets” with cleavage down to her belly button and too much leg.

Hits
Standouts were elegant styling from Nicole & Keith flawless in Prada (welcome back natural red head), model Marisa Miller in sexy Vintage Gucci, and Jamie Foxx oozing cool with black on black on black! Notable mentions also go to Pink, Jonas Brothers, NEYO, Fergie, and what list isn’t complete without Rihanna?!
