Project Leader Damien Peers and Riess Hatcher took the team through a Creative Focus Day at the beautiful House by Keune Academy by Bloom in London.
A new Fellowship for British Hairdressing Project Team for 2023, Project Sassoon, an exciting project designed for team members to take their craft and skills to another level and is aimed at hairdressing professionals who are serious about their hair cutting, colouring and styling skills.
During the Creative Focus Day with Damien and Riess, the Project Sassoon Team were taught a great range of techniques. This includes disconnection layers and reverse layers using doll heads to practise and perfect their skills. Techniques which they have since took back to their salon and used on clients.
Cheryl Poulter comments:
“We had a fantastic day working on cutting disconnections, the Sassoon way! Damien really opened our minds to some different ways of disconnecting hair, some techniques soft and seamless, others more dramatic. Reverse layering was a new idea for me, and I loved it. Such a privilege to be working with Damien and with such a lovely team.”
