COLLECTION: ATELIER

OUR AWARD-WINNING ART TEAM LAUNCHES ITS LATEST COLLECTION: ATELIER

Taking inspiration from the renowned Dutch painter, Piet Mondrian, our latest collection took inspiration from the ‘Compositions with Yellow, Blue and Red’ series showcased at the Mondrian and his Studios exhibition at TATE Liverpool.

We took initial inspiration from the geometric shapes and block colour placement, before translating this for a fashion forward, but commercial collection, using contrasting textures, parallel sectioning patterns and structured, sleek styling. Angel Montague-Sayers

SHU UEMURA

LIZZIE FOX IS AWARDED SECOND PLACE AT THE SHU UEMURA 2014 MUSE IMAGE AWARDS

Sally Montague Hair Group Art Team Colour Specialist and Sadler Gate Salon Manager, Lizzie Fox, celebrated being awarded second place earlier this year at the exclusive Shu Uemura Art of Hair photoshoot at the luxury haircare brand’s 2014 Muse Image Awards.

The awards, which were launched last year, are sponsored by Tribute Magazine – the high-end artistic magazine for hairdressers – and aim to give visibility to stylists with vision and talent. Entrants were invited to submit an image of an avant-garde female in order to win a place on a regional shoot where they could create an avant-garde look of their own.

Lizzie’s entry mood board was submitted to the judges alongside her entry photograph, pictured below.

MY INSPIRATION, LIZZIE FOX

My initial inspiration for the look came from the Dolce & Gabbana mosaic print and the Sicilian influence which is at the forefront of all their iconic collections. I was especially drawn towards the royal pose and crown, and wanted to create my own more abstract version within the hair, without using any ornaments. I didn’t want to create anything too structured and so I started looking into different fabrics and architecture to see how I could develop my look. I found the Revolution tower building in Panama and this influenced the twists within the crown. I also wanted to create a contrast between the regal and the rough, looking at texture of rope helped me define the texture with the hair. To create my look I used Shu Uemura Art of Hair Tasai cream and Liquid Fabric which gave great texture and a malleable hold.

THE PHOTOSHOOT

Lizzie was selected from hundreds of high-class entries from across the UK and given the opportunity to work with renowned hairdresser India Miller and top fashion photographer Jack Eames as part of the photoshoot prize.

THE BEAUTY FLOOR

OUR VERY OWN ‘BEAUTY FLOOR’ IS NOW OPEN AT THE EVER EXPANDING BELPER SALON

Since opening almost 15 years ago, Belper has undergone four extensions, now spanning a spacious 5,000 sq ft across two buildings, fusing a contemporary hairdressing and colour specialist salon and newly launched beauty floor alongside a large lifestyle store offering haircare products, accessories and jewellery. The new first floor ESPA beauty area, which boasts three state-of-the-art treatment rooms and a Make Up by HD Brows makeover and retail space, was unveiled In October 2014.

We have invested heavily in the Belper salon over the years as it continues to be popular with residents in Belper and beyond. Our recent addition of the relaxing beauty area on the first floor acts as a sanctuary for clients to get some respite from the busy salon downstairs. We are thrilled with the ESPA treatment rooms and dedicated Make Up by HD Brows retail space and hope they will be enjoyed by our clients, both old and new.

WHAT’S INSIDE…

The salon’s new beauty rooms, which took two months to complete, take residence on the first floor of the building, offering clients a relaxing haven to enjoy ESPA treatments in peace and tranquility. Painted in Farrow and Ball chalk paints in muted pink, grey and purple shades, the colour palette complements the ESPA branding. There is also a spacious nail studio on the ground floor where clients can enjoy OPI gel nails or a luxury pedicure.
