On my head: who cuts how
Beauty editor Maria Atchikova - about different techniques haircuts.
In the hairdressing world, there are also trademarks - salons, which use only their own cutting techniques. The difference is palpable - as if to compare the masters of the network of salons and ordinary hairdresser's "in the basement", and if we compare the author's stylists and universal wizards.
Technique is how the master works. Divides the head into zones and aligns them in corners or vertically. Uses thinning shears or lightens hair with a razor. No one ever thinks about it, but everything depends on it - how the haircut will lie, grow hair and how easy it will be for you to live. The main task of the copyright technician is ease (with which you will style your hair every morning) and speed (which will allow the master to cut 40 people instead of 20 - of course, this is primarily a business). The concept of Wash & Go at one time became wildly popular Vidal Sassoon, but with us, as usual, everything turned upside down - in many network shops, craftsmen are generally forbidden to cut a client in less than half an hour. Allegedly, the client may seem to be given insufficient attention. This is their minus - if you ever try a quick and easy haircut, you will never return to people who like to waste your time so ineptly.
Sexy hair
People with a noticeable sense of humor - take at least the fact that their school of hairdressing is called the "Academy of courage." To haircuts, however, are taken seriously - they like to have any hair had a noticeable amount, and for this came up with the technology "structure in motion". The principle is simple - hair is leveled with one smooth cut, scissors lead at a certain angle. Even individual strands are trimmed in the same way. The technology was invented by pushing away from the principles of tai-chi - hence the smoothness of the master's movement, and the philosophical approach of harmony of body and mind. Simply put, the choice of your haircut should depend not only on the oval of the face, but also on the nature and lifestyle. It sounds too beautiful - but when you see how creative director Rafe Hardy works, you believe that. Not a single unnecessary movement, an ideal example of how socionic sensorics control their bodies - they bypass sharp corners easily and playfully and, it seems, while dancing, can carry a glass of water on their heads. |
Massato
A Japanese who lives in Paris and creates heads for the covers of the best magazines. He makes about half of the haircut on wet hair, half on completely dry hair. He works with scissors, he is especially good at classic forms - but with a slight deviation from the canons. This is exactly the case when the technique cannot be seen - it seems that it simply trim the tips of the individual strands, gradually cutting off the length, from right to left and back, in the horizontal plane. And no extra styling is against Massato's philosophy. He says (and he generally says little, moreover, in the process of cutting, he never says) that his haircuts do not need a hairdryer, they are better dried naturally. The main feature - his haircuts grow fantastically smooth. With a short French cut I went for about 3 months, and all this time it went down exactly the same as on the day of the haircut. Unfortunately, he came to Russia only two times - but, they say, he managed to teach his technique to the masters of the institute of beauty Fijie. |
Alexander Todchuk
Twenty years of experience - including Jacques Dessange and Schwarzkopf Professional. Todchuk's authoring technology is called "smart haircut", and, frankly, it is rather strange that it appeared only now - his haircuts were always intuitively suitable and not similar to what they did in other salons. Nevertheless, the clever hairstyle is now a full-fledged technique that masters teach. The essence is the same: the haircut should be such that you lightly dry your hair with a hair dryer after washing, and they themselves have formed the right way. The haircut itself is selected depending on the type of hair and "free fall" - how wet and dry hair behaves, whether it is twisted or lay flat. There are also drying techniques - without a comb, using only a hairdryer and creating the desired shape with your own hands. The most unusual is to pinch the hair into small tails and direct the tips to the right direction with a hairdryer. All ingenious is simple: this is a very correct living wave and the volume is emphasized very carefully. By the way, Todchuk is the first Russian who created his own haircut technique, which is quite a pull on the occasion for national pride. |
Toni & Guy
Maximum dynamic, catching trends on the fly. Their artistic and technical directors are well aware of the context and are able to embody the mythical British style in haircuts. Their equipment allows you to cut and scissors, and a razor, and, it seems, standing on his head - in the end you get one haircut-transformer, which can be laid in ten different ways. It is well done short and medium length haircuts, with a tattered texture and a clear geometry, and can come up with an impossible creative coloring. A little advice: it is better to come to the salon with clean unfolded hair. These masters cut different hair completely differently - so it would be nice if they understood what they were dealing with from the very beginning. And we must explain in great detail what you want before the haircut, and not in the process - because they are sheared quickly. |
Jacques Dessange
The chip is mobile haircuts that emphasize the length of hair and the play of shades, that is, it would be nice to go here for those who have something to move and play. And with especially cunning coiffe-decoiffe (a term that was invented right here - ideally arranged, highly artistic jerking) can work for an hour. But the result will be extremely fashionable and luxurious. And it is here that brunettes are turned into reference Hollywood blondes. Long hair cascading like Jennifer Aniston - yes! Blondirovanie with tint tinted to blond was not a puppet - also here. Short haircuts, of course, also know how. But they also turn out to be glossy, too diligent, as if you were going for three hours just to go to the store. Although, on the other hand, always look as if you just came from the salon - not bad at all. |
