NAHA Award Goes to Stylist Known fo...

Posted at 5:01 PM • No Comments

 

When faced with an opportunity to create an amazing look that would compete for an award at NAHA,John Simpson of Lewis Salon decided scissors were something he would do without during this round. He opted instead to do a line of color and bold styles.
Simpson was definitely on the right track, because he won the Best Haircolor award from the Professional Beauty Association during the 19th annual North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) – the color at left is from his award-winning collection, in which he wove different “stories” of texture and color.
Simpson, from Pittsburgh, PA, will be one of our next presenters for TheCuttingEdgeHairShow.com
He used brilliant blondes, matte browns and many more techniques to create “something that not only inspires others” but also re-inspired him to get creative with his work. His collection features several photographs of different cuts, color, and style combinations. He showed that often, amazing looks can be created without specific use of shears – hair can be colored and styled expertly!
In the journey from the idea, through the creation of the line, and finally to the award, he said his biggest challenge was to make sure he actually followed through and “did it!”

Beauty Expenses for the Stars

Posted at 12:00 AM • No Comments

Imagine if your styling and beauty budget was in the hundreds of thousands of dollars range. That’s chump change for many record labels in Hollywood who would spend a quarter of a million dollars on their stars – in the form of beautifying treatments for their clients, like hair cuts with special shears hair highlights, professional makeup artists, elaborate clothes and much more. The value of an on-camera performance, the labels reasoned, was still cheaper than taking out an ad. Each time a star performed on an awards ceremony or a top-flight chat show, record labels spent excessive amounts to put their moneymakers in front of the cameras.

A check for $250,000 feeds an entourage of hairstylists, makeup artists, stylists, etc etc. But the music companies are following the general American corporate flow and slashing expenses. Entertainment Weekly reports that Universal, which backs acts like Bon Jovi, Ne-Yo, and The Pussycat Dolls, has capped their stars’ beauty budgets for appearances at $50,000 per appearance. For just fifty grand, artists now have to figure out how to look like a million bucks.

As a reporter for AOL stated, I think that most of us could figure out how to look stunning for $50,000, with plenty left over for airplane tickets and a hotel room. Even for a first-class ticket and a deluxe hotel room, plus a limo. 

Maybe it’s a industry that needs to come back down to semi-reality.
