The Fellowship Lunch

The Fellowship luncheon is always one of my most rated calendar events of the year and boy this time the organisers did not disappoint. The day was even celebrated with a hilarious VT from the brilliant Vice President, Terry Calvert who sadly couldn’t be there to join us for The Dorchester’s finest – but certainly made his mark! Again to all the winners, a big congratulations and I just have to mention Sean Dawson, HOB who won the Fellowship Fashion Focus Image of the Year Award, his shot was just stunning. We all headed over to top Hawaiian nightspot Mahiki after the event where the Electric team were to be found sharing a tropical Treasure Chest in true Tiki style, we’ll definitely be heading back there again soon for another. Thanks to everyone who made the night a great success, and I hope to see you back there next year

Electric Sessions @ No.5

Without a doubt our best Electric Sessions to date! The entire team headed down to the stunning No.5 Cavendish Square in London – it really was the perfect venue to host our Sessions. The morning session included a talk from myself to inspire the team and thank them for all of their great work over the year, followed by a business talk from Julie Eldrett a top industry consultant who has vast experience and knowledge to ensure our clients are continually treated to the best service possible. After a few words from Alan Short, manager of our Reading Salon, on client liaison and how we can all work together to improve the customer experience the Art Team then kicked off the afternoon session by demonstrating their trends on stage for 2010 building up a great momentum for the coming year. The Electric Sessions are also a time to recongise my amazing team with the Electric Awards so massive congrats to all the winners and of course to the whole team for such a fantastic job this year - I’m so proud of the outstanding standard of work that has been produced both in salon and creatively, thanks so much guys and keep up the great work. Me and the Art Team then closed the Electric Sessions with the most stunning catwalk show ever - themed around ‘Vampires’, before moving downstairs to relax and unwind over a few festive drinks. Join us again for our 2010 Sessions which will also include our new London salon team, oh and look out for our next venture, Electric Coffee…

Nice to be in Nice

Hi all, so sorry I’ve not been in touch for a while but I’ve been jet setting about L’Oreal Professionnel. Huge thanks to the team for inviting me to fly out to Nice with them to shoot the H2010 Collection. I can’t say too much about the shoot yet, but it was such an exciting experience. Location shoots are a great chance to really show off your expertise and make working with hair a more natural experience as you really have to battle the elements! Luckily for us, it was gorgeous weather and we all got to style the hair outside in the fantastic sunshine, I’m so excited for you all to see the results so watch this space.

I-D Exposure Tour, Barcelona

I went over to Barcelona with some of the L’Oreal I-D Artists to catch the Angelo Seminara Show in the annual Exposure Tour, after completing all of our hard work on the L’Oreal 2010 shoot in Nice. Angelo is such an inspiration and real role model that young stylists and hairdressers in the industry should look up to. It was great to see his work at the show, and his techniques and ideas we’re fantastic!

Sussex Business Awards

We won! Electric salons had a top night at the Sussex Business Awards and came home with an award for Small Business of the Year – another award to the growing number Electric has! I work with such a brilliant team and it’s down to all of them that the business is so successful - the guys work so hard and give their all. Congratulations to all the deserved winners and nominees on the night too.

The Fellowship Awards

Watch this space… I was invited to judge The Fellowship Awards and wow, there’s some tough competition out there! The results won’t be announced until December’s Luncheon on the 7th (which sold out in just 2 hours!) but I can tell you that I was extremely impressed with the entries for the Consumer Image of the Year and Industry Image of The Year. Good luck to everyone who entered!
