2023 GLOBAL COLLECTION - DESIGNER

Haircuts and styles anyone can wear.

These textured haircuts are a balance between masculinity and feminity.

THE SHAG

A UNIVERSAL LOOK

With gorgeous longer layers from the crown, with or without bangs, curly, wavy or straight, the Shag is universally flattering. Today’s Shag cuts are generally worn with an effortless soft look, allowing the wearer to let their natural texture run free.

"My inspiration for my portion of the shoot was the bridge between the worlds of the salon and the barbershop. We have a tendency to place a gender on a haircut and that creates limits on what we can achieve. The clipper is just a paintbrush and without the artist it has no effective purpose. We give the clipper life and the more we can venture outside of our comfort zone the more we find personal and professional growth.  "

"The inspiration for the shoot was to create a combination of current and upcoming trends for the future of our industry to recreate and inspire to. The looks provide a variety of traditional barbering, fashion fades, modern hairdressing and forward hair styling to cater for all levels within our industry."

TEXTURED SKIN FADE

THE VERSATILE SHOWSTOPPER

Inspired by the hugely popular modern bowl cut, the edgy texture and fade finish highlights the longer hair on top.

Low maintenance and trendy, the Textured Skin Fade is versatile for all hair types, giving a modern yet bold look. Being able to tailor the texture means there are no limits on how creative you can be.

"It is inspired by Japanese street culture. This haircut is great for education purposes because it has so many features and key elements. Also great for clients. 

This cut is easy to adjust and suits for any genders. I love the gender neutral hairstyle."

THE TEXTURED CROP TAPER

A CLASSIC LOOK FOR ANYONE 

With huge amounts of added texture and multiple styling options, the Textured Crop is versatile and gender free. Short sides and back with all that glorious texture on top, this cut pairs beautifully with a well finished taper.

"What I loved was seeing how everyone drew inspiration from their own environments and the cultures that they are surrounded with. For me, including some Korean influence is very true to the styles that are popular in Asia right now. Incorporating these influences together is what makes it a truly global collection!"
