Honored to meet you

Trevor Mitchell... the man who held the Guinness World hair Cut records before me stopped by to meet me at the show at salon international in London last week. He is a legend in hair cutting. His was gracious, but has vowed to reclaim "his" record. I hope he does. Nice to meet you sir! ( he is also in his late 70's.. still has plenty of energy and quite a few good hair cuts left in him. I can only hope to try to keep up with him.

Trends spotting 2011 London UK

Another fashion trend spotted at salon International 2012.

Shorts with tights. I saw lots of these on attendees on the show floor. Sure to be a popular look here in the US next fall, maybe even this fall if it gets here in time. Definitely a cold weather fashion as the shorts have always been worn in warm months. The tights or leggings give the shorts the ability to work through the winter. In some cases the shorts were VERY short. Some were longer, event to the knee.

I will state that this trend will NOT jump from females to males when it makes the jump to America. I hope and pray!
