Salons present hair trends for spring

From page 16

While such fantasy looks will
not likely be seen off the catwalk,
they do serve as a creative outlet for
professionals like Holt, a North
Shore resident and owner of the
Avant Garde salon in Yaletown.

Shows can also be an opportuni-
ty for the salon to present its vision
of “the look” of the season. For
Doreen Stokes of Ravz hair salon in
North Vancouver, that look is the
gamine cul — short and layered
with wispy tendrils and a soft
fringe. Only one in 50 clients may

step out of her salon with this state-
ment-making ‘do but many others
will be happy lo incorporate ele-
ments of the look into their current
style.

Next Sunday, Feb, 20 Raymond
Salons presents to the beauty indus-
try its direction for spring at the
Robson Conference Centre in
Vancouver,

The “Enfantin” collection for
hair will feature “soft and romantic
new looks to complement the gen-
tle, sensual and breezy styles that
are popular in this season's Tash-
ions,” Set to follow the show, with

fashions [rom Wear Else?, are pre-
sentations by clip and color artists
from Sebastian, Paul Mitchell and
Redken, and a makeover competi-
tion sponsored by Wella Canada.

Later that same day, the
Vancouver chapter of the Aris &
Fashion Group (AFG) holds its
first-ever hair fashion and awards
benefit.

Founded in 1989 by American
cosmetologist Jojo Marengo, the
AFG ts an international organiza-
tion of professional beatity artists
that has as ils mandate to “take back
the industry from the manufacturers
and put the power back into the
hands of the artists.”

While hair stylists and salon
owners comprise the bulk of mem-
bership, there is also representation
by fashion designers, photogra-
phers, stylists, image consultants,
makeup irtists, fashion editors and
cosmetic surgeons.

New York ready-to-wear design-
er ftsaac Mizrahi sits on the |
International Fashion Board as do
hairstylist-to-the-stars Frederic
Fekkai and Oribe, the models’
favorite, Vidal Sassoon heads up
the International Legend Academy.

Next Sunday’s event is present-
ed by the [3 salon members of the
local chapter. Headed up by Suki
Takagi of Suki's, the group
includes Richard S. Ego Hair
Design, Ingrid’s on [2th, Focus 2,
Elaine's, Lena J. Hair Design.
Gerard Emmanuel, Moods, Axiom,
Utopia, Avant Garde, Yusat"s and
Netwerxx.

With lively choreography and
music, fashions from local design-
ers and retailers, and the hotest hair
looks for spring, the show is
designed to appeal to the public as
well as the trade, while the awards
honor some of the industry's best.

For professionals like Wil
Taytor of Suki's, the event also
serves to raise public awareness that

hairdressing is more than just a
vocation,

“People think a haircut is a hair-
cut explains Taylor, “But you
don’t just go and grab a pair of scis-
sors, There's a tot of theory
involved."

Raymond Salons event, are $10

dents). Phone 738-3135, Tickets for
