long hairstyles for womenWomen’s Hair, modern youth on Grafton St. Dublin, I’m inspired by some of the youth that I see out and about.  They seem to be experts at using their very own natural elements to create quality styles that appear effortless but look modern and current.  Everything about this long hair is natural, yet uncomplicated.

Wella Trend Vision 2012 Ireland A quiet moment Wella Trend Vision 2012 Tools of the trade Wella Trend Vison 2012 Ireland Model arrives & chilling out Trend Vision Ireland 2012 Haircut..set! Wella Trend Vision Ireland 2012 Colors of the rainbow..which will it be?

Wella Trend Vision Ireland 2012

This year I’ve decided to take the plunge in the Wella Trend Vision 2012 Ireland.  Although the big day isn’t’ until Monday September 3rd, there’s prepping involved and more important, teamwork.

“TrendVision is like the hair Olympics!” says Wella Professionals Ambassador Nick Berardi. VERY true! So how do you prepare?  After reading this, my respectful perspective quickly changed.

Yesterday the day began with a breath of relief when the secret model arrived.  The first part of the prep was the haircut, which was really cool to do because it’s a haircut I rarely get to do. I decided to top up my game and pull out the  head mannequin because this is what happened meanwhile behind the scenes..…

A few weeks ago I presented my inspirational haircut/colour to my maybe model with a photo, she looked at it simply said, “no way am I wearing that”.  I quickly explained “it wouldn’t be exactly like this but a bit more like this, longer here, shorter there” and she still stood in front of me and said “there is no way I am wearing that” In that moment, I knew it was time to go to Sally’s Hair Supply to buy the dreaded mannequin head and execute the precise haircut to convince my most wanted maybe Trend Vision model how stylishly cool this haircut will really be.  My pitch was “The Armani of hairstyles, the haircut of a lifetime”…true for both of us.   After my mannequin head trials, my presentation was ready for my most wanted maybe Trend Vision model.  The big sigh finally came when she saw the finished work and said, “Ok, I’m in, when is it”?

Yesterday morning at Robert Chambers Salon, my ever so talented partner in this years Trend Vision Dermot McHugh and I had our first behind the scenes trial with our model to prepare for the big day. And finally Tamar Chambers Artistic Director of the Robert Chambers Hair Group stopped by to give support and check it all out.

Although it’s all a big secret, here are some photos of getting the party started.  More to come.. but later….
