“The Favorite Collection” created by hair artist Alexis Ferrer of Barcelona, a long time member of the Wella Professionals Global Team, spotlights flowers printed on the hair in intricate patterns, as in this photo, one of an extraordinary collection published in Issue #579 of Peluquerias Magazine (See more versions on Instagram @HelenOppenheim)
Now, new technology, techniques combined with knowledge of the craft, have made it possible to recreate flowers in beautiful patterns printed on the hair, just as couturiers created flowers and animals on fabrics, dresses, walls and tapestries in past eras, especially the XVIII Century. Ferrer has said he was “influenced by Modernism, Cubism, Surrealism and a world of infinite possibilities for the future has opened up.

Dressed in Pearls – ’90s

Love all the pearls in this photo with hair by Antonio Bellver of Barcelona. The photo got a full page in a two page article I did for American Salon Magazine in the ’90s. Not sure about the cigarette but I guess it goes with the ’20s kiss curl hair and the fashion feel of the photo. (FYI – Bellver now lives and works in Mexico City.)

COVER PELUQUERIAS MAGAZINE – JUNE 2014

Great updo and fashions for the June 2014 Peluquerias Magazine. The hair here, by Raffel Pages of Barcelona, Spain, is different, not copying anyone, and wearable at the same time. Ah, if only more hairdressers would work out how to do this! Fab feather fashions.
How to do it. Long hair was made into a small tail at the crown, with the hair pulled very tight. Foam was used for padding at the top which was scrolled into a horizontal loop held in the center, which was then sprayed.
