The Salon International team 2008
MK and I have worked together a few times already. He and I strike a nice balance. Black and white, funky and VERY American, wildly creative and technically precise. We do well together. And then there is Kevin. Kevin is silent but highly skilled. He just quietly plugs away at the most amazing designs with clipping and trimming tools. Chris was added to the mix this year. He is a talented hair cutter. His area of specialty was layer cutting on mid length and long ladies styles. He was using a layering technique I have called scrape layering. Sections are combed out, held to the sides, evenly distributed. Chris was then using a carving or scraping motion in an arc from blow the section with a 3 _ blade. The extra length of the teeth provided him the ability to literally pick and choose which portions of the section he was to cut away. The resulting effect was a soft, highly mobile layering that was impossible to distinguish from a razor cut. All done with a clipper blade, a regular clipper blade. Not a T-24 or a funky texture tool.
As promised... only 1 more post about Salon Int 2008 tomorrow and then you will not hear about it until 2009.
