As Creative Director I will serve as the lead artist for all ThermaFuse shows nationwide, train and format educational programs for platform artist teams and regional educators as well as developing events for distributors. I am so excited to launch the ThermaFuse's spring/summer and fall/winter 2013 hair trends at the Premier Orlando International Beauty Event in June.
I look forward to contributing to the ongoing growth of the brand and working closely with the ThermaFuse team.

Long May She Reign
The four day celebration for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee has sadly to come to an end. It was amazing to see all the flags flying.
The highlight of all the pomp and ceremony had to be the concert in front of Buckingham Palace and Grace Jones spotlight stealing performance. Sixty four years old, still looking fierce whilst hoola hooping throughout her four minute set. Beat that Madonna.

R.I.P. Vidal Sasson
Vidal Sasson, the legendary stylist who revolutionised the hair dressing industry died today of natural causes after a battle with leukaemia.
Born in London in 1928, Sasson started his career as a shampoo boy but then came to define the style of the swinging sixties with his signature cut 'the shape' and the bob.
The techniques he introduced still form the foundation for modern hairdressing today and for this we will be eternally in his debt.

MET GALA 2012
Last night saw the glam fest which is the annual Met Gala Costume Institute Ball. Whilst the clothing was a riot of color, sequins, feathers and dramatic statements (or all of the above in Beyonce's case!) the hair was simplicity itself. Clean, classic lines and swept back hair - all the better to see dress my dear. Blondes in champagne hues were of course prevalent on the red carpet but what stood out were the richer bourbon tones which screamed luxury above the already well-heeled atmosphere.
Worthy of a mention: Chanel Iman's elegant bouffant and Karolina Kurkova's stunning gold head dress. But hair award of the night belongs to Jessica Biel's blunt heavy fringe and deep espresso color. Dressed in Prada, and accessorized with Justin Timberlake she made quite the entrance.
