Campaign Inspiration
This latest collection has a raw London vibe to it, with east London Street Style juxtaposed with the groomed glossy looks off the catwalks of London Fashion Week.
Inspiration for the collection was a crossover of ideas, with cuts looking to young musicians, such as Rita Ora and Azelia Banks, whose looks combine the rawness of London’s Street Style scene with a glamorous edge, for a fresh youthful feel. The shapes created were classic and aimed at a low maintenance cool. To dress these shapes in a modern way the team worked with the new Label M electrical Session Styling range, using wands and tongs to produce energy and movement in the hair so that each style became a statement of undone glamour.
The secret for this collection was using classic hair cutting techniques with beautiful and bold colour placement. Colour was the focal point for the collection as a whole, with the concept coming from the everyday phenomenon of the pop-up. This ideal was taken and interpreted in a wearable modern directional way. Each colour was created so that as the hair moves, different elements of the colour pop out to the eye of the beholder.
Essensuals Hairdressing a brand of the young Essensuals began in 1997 when Toni, Sacha and Christian Mascolo first recognized a gap in the market for a Diffusion line of Toni&Guy. The idea behind a second hair salon group was the thought that a proportion of clients can be transient and visit the competition. Hence the solution was to become the competition, thus launching Essensuals.
Essensuals is on its way to becoming a highly respected and globally recognized hairdressing brand. Essensuals salons aim to provide excellence in hairdressing in a fun, relaxed and fuss free environment. The brands foundations and education systems are comfortable and firmly entrenched within Toni&Guy and have firm UK and International expansion plans in place. Essensuals continues to build upon numerous accolades, including the British Hairdressing Awards London Hairdresser of the Year, South West Hairdresser of the Year and Men’s British Hairdresser of the year.
