Rising star Angelo Vallillo
This year I had the pleasure of meeting and working with one of the hair industry's rising stars, Angelo Vallillo from Zullo and Holland in Nottingham. After completing his latest collection, he was ecstatic to find out that having entered the collection into the British Hairdressing Awards for the first time, he had not only made it through to the final six salons representing the Eastern region, but also got a front cover on Hairdressers Journal magazine! Angelo's sensational collection was published in the 18-24th November issue, and can be seen below.
Angelo said;
"Hairdressing isn’t just a job for me, or even a career. It is my life and my hobby – I live and breathe it. To be a great educator and to take others with you, I believe you must radiate your love and commitment to the craft. No one could question my commitment or my obsession with hairdressing. In just eight years I’ve won awards, been part of the inaugural and brilliant Sebastian CULT Team, worked backstage at major catwalk shows, presented on stage, been in demand as an freelance Sebastian educator and been recognised by some major names in the industry. Last year, Akin Konizi named me publicly in Hairdressers Journal as the next rising star. This year I have been shortlisted as One To Watch in the prestigious Creative Head IT Awards. I continue to work tirelessly towards my goal of becoming the best hairdresser I can be and embrace every opportunity to participate and contribute to the advancement of the profession."
Fellowship for British Hairdressing – Colour Project 2011
The Fellowship Colour Project's fourth training day was a Studio 54 themed photo shoot held at the Ask Academy, London, with mentor Tanya Hennessey. Tanya assisted the students with the clothes styling as well as co-ordinating the day. Given a £50 budget for clothes on the morning, the students created their final looks for the shoot in the afternoon, directed by Chris Williams (international colour director, Rush Hair) and Jo O'Neil, (Toni & Guy international education technical director).
It was a pleasure to shoot the Fellowship's Colour Project again this year. The students displayed a high level of talent and enthusiasm, each one interpreting and encapsulating the Studio 54 theme perfectly. All in all a very successful day and they now have a fantastic collection to show for it!
