FASHIO Individuality the key to style From page 14 Joining Mackinder onstage was New York stylist Mary Brunetti, ‘whose work has appeared in dozens of trade publications and international fashion and beauty magazines such as Vogue and Allure. The sold-out event featured runway fashion pres- entations and hairdressing demonstrations on live models. ‘“*‘The big challenge,’ Mackinder advised the audience, “‘is to take that "70s took and give it a new freshness.’’ It seems the challenge is being met by North Shore stylists who are taking the top runway and hair industry trends and adapting them to their clients’ needs. Doreen Stokes of -Ravz hair salon at Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver keeps abreast of the ‘trends’ by attending trade shows ‘such asthe International Beauty Show in. ‘Seattle jast April, at ‘which. styling kings like - Trevor Sorbie shared their ideas, ; What we are seeing, she says, is a:move toward softer shapes in hair and more layering around the “head for a look that is reminiscent ", North Shore ' News, of “early '70s shag.”” . “The hair comes into the face, long onto the face and Jong onto “the neck,’ says Stokes of the style “FASHION FILE is a weekly Sunday column.

But the '90s twist on the '70s look is a cut that is More precise. and stronger in shape. Kar! Robathan of North Van- couver’s Hair Mode salon sees a similar direction. Hair is ‘‘very loose, very natural, with a lot of movement,” he says, adding that mid-length hair is best, soft and textured is in, and there are ‘‘no real hard lines anymore.’’ He also cautions that the centre part is not for everyone, and to be carried off, the ‘70s influence must be reflected in the clothing and worn with a sense of style. Raheem Janmohamed of Ap- plause salon in Park Royal Cen- tre’s south mall favors the new softness — ° “soft colors, soft lines, soft perms, nothing blunt cut and no hard edges’? — but steers: clear of retro looks, saying they’re best left in the. decade whence they came. Turning to. hair color: warm tones are popular and range from light coppers to rich mahoganies. ‘Igora.

Light finishing products — “products that soften the hair and nothing too stiff’ such as pomades and emollients, are used to give added shine to healthy- looking hair. The trend toward softer hairsiyles means a move away from heavier products like muds and hard-holding hairsprays. Stokes recommends. that when using a shine product like Spray- on Shine from Aveda, go easy to avoid a greasy appearance. Spritz a small amount into the palm of your hand, rub your palms together then lightly run your hands over your hair, avoiding the roots, Janmohamed recommends’ the new mousse-gel from A/G for a stronger hold, especially for cur‘y hair, while Robathan favors Joico’s ICE sculpting lotion, used on wet hair before blowdrying. As local stylists evaluate the trends, adapt them to their own personal styling and cutting tech- niques, and strive to create looks that are fresh yet accessible, one common theme emerges: individ- uality is key. And as Janmohamed says, in the end, the style that is best for you is the one you feel most com- fortable with.
