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!
