Master Class with Mark Hayes

By

I was lucky enough to attend the Master Class with Mark Hayes at Sassoon in Santa Monica this last Sunday. Boy, let me tell you. The man is an artist and has now officially become my hair hero (a title I do not hand out lightly!).

Enjoy a few pictures from the class

    Wow!

    Awesomely executed, but why oh why do Sassoon's collections have to be so dammed FUGLY???

    And what's with the eyebrows this year? Ugh.

    LOL....looks like Spock collided with the '80s...in Bizarro World of Htrae.

    I understand the artestry and skill, however....but it's not eye appealing.

    Funny the difference of opinion. I absolutely LOVE the current collections especially the partial perms. LOVE LOVE LOVE

    Mark Hayes is reinventing Sassoon post Tim Hartley. My theory is that Tim truly doesn't care about making women look beautiful, he just did edgy hair while Mark's work is pretty as well as cool.
    I like so much of Mark's stuff I may actually recant on my pledge to never attend Sassoon training. Good stuff Russel!

    Michael, you and I are on the same page when it comes to Sassoon.

    I have been uninterested in what they have done for so many years that in my mind they have were irrelevant.

    Once Tim Hartley left and Mark Hayes took over I started to notice his work and have become more and more impressed. I actually attended my first Sassoon class.

    On a side note, Stephen Moody is one of the coolest and nicest people on the planet and has an awesome head of hair that I'm jealous of!

    I really enjoyed looking at those. BUT but but, I'm with Skwij. I can see going to something like that to be entertained with something unique, but don't see the practicality of it. If I had a client of mine leave looking like those hair models, she would never come back.

    I guess I like soft and pretty and believable. None of those were realistic. They were futuristic! Which I guess for you Maven....works.

    Such a shame that I flew out to AU on the saturday, after spending a week as Sassoon, I really wanted to go to the master class.

    Don't look at the Mark Hayes hair as salon wear, look at it as hair as art. In fashion you have couture (which is unwearable for most situations) and you have ready to wear (which would be your salon work).

    Even Sassoon doesn't do this type of work out of their salons.

    This is a little off subject, but I just now am noticing that your darth sword beam is alive and it scares me that I have not noticed this before.

    Exactly, Russell. But the workmanship is amazing.
