SPRING OFFER 2012

All Tuesday / Wednesday Cut & Colour appointments come with a FREE shampoo and conditioner. Offer lasts until 31 May 2012.

Q: What inspires you most as a hair stylist?

A: Fashion I think is the biggest inspiration for me. Not just present and future but past too.

Q: Best moments in your life as a hairdresser so far?

A: Working on the X Factor has to be up there with them, also the first time my work was published outside of the UK.

Q: Particular hair styles, types or treatments that you like to work with.

A: I enjoy cutting and colouring curly hair – I like the fact you approach it from a completely different angle – keeps things interesting! The texture is also fantastic to work with, to create both soft and defined shapes.

Q: It’s your fashion shoot. Name your photographer, model, location and theme.

A: Nick Knight would shoot – continuously breaking boundaries. Arizona Muse would model. Her or Charlotte Free – I’m a little bit in love with them both. Place? London. The arches around Southwark SE1 (I lived on Bermondsey Street for two years when I first moved to London seven years ago so the area has a really special place in my heart). I’d theme it around Fashion in the early 90s – I love it and definitely see it influencing today’s trend-setters.

Q: Favourite day-to-day hair products you’d most recommend?

A: I love Kerastase for haircare – I really think nothing rivals it.

Q: Best piece of advice on hair you’ve heard?

A: From a great Japanese hairdresser who was learning English when I was training: “Think of hair as a sculpture. It’s not what you cut. It’s what you leave.” It has stuck with me ever since.

Q: How would your clients describe you?

A: I’d like to think they view me as knowledgeable and approachable – there’s nothing worse than when a client feels uncomfortable with their stylist.

SPRING 2012

All Tuesday / Wednesday Cut & Colour appointments come with a FREE shampoo and conditioner. Offer lasts until 31 May 2012.

What inspires you most as a hair stylist?

Making somebody feel amazing, and seeing a change in them that makes their face light up… That gives me a real sense of reward – I think it’s important for people to feel good as well as look good.

Best moments in your life as a hairdresser so far?

Being part of a great team in the L’Oreal Colour Trophy awards. The whole experience of creating an original look (autumn winter 2011), putting together a stunning image based on what you know, products, and personalities.

Particular hair styles, types or treatments that you like to work with?

I love working with colour, going for the sun kissed look (I’m half Mediterranean so I guess that comes naturally to me)! The main thing is to identify and work with what’s right for my client. Then I’m happy. Products wise, I do love Kerastase shampoos / conditioners.

It’s your fashion shoot. Name your photographer, model, location, and theme.

I’d put Karl Lagerfeld behind the cameras (love his work with Chanel) and I’d go for the chic filmstar look – think 1920s, 30s, 40s… with a more contemporary touch. Old fashioned glamour with a twist of Hollywood burlesque. My ideal model would have to be Daphne Groeneveld. And because I’ve always wanted to work in Paris we’d be there for a few days. Probably in winter… not the usual Spring cliche.

How would your clients describe you?

Professional. Always attentive, and always thinking about how they feel.

FENOMENALE – the first of many

// January 12th, 2010 // No Comments » // January 2010, Services, Special Offers

I’ve just received a follow up email from a new client who called last week and booked herself in for a “FENOMENALE” from my La Dolce Vita range. This is the ultimate package of the four and lasted just over three hours. You can check out all the details – treatments and price – via the link on my homepage.

And thank you Rebeccah for your wonderful feedback. It’s invaluable and we’re all extremely happy you enjoyed it.

FEEDBACK : ‘Sergio really inspires confidence. I knew immediately I could trust him with my first hair colouring in 15 years. Had a ‘Fenomenale’ – a great value treat to myself . Looking forward to going back!”

Don’t forget, these unique packages only last until the end of February! Mille baci, Sergio
