Jack Merrick Thirlway heads the WHITE SHOW 2022

CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS – the WHITE SHOW 2022

The White Show is an annual showcase in December where each first-year fashion design student at Central Saint Martin’s creates a single look in white fabric. A greatly anticipated event of the first term, it is one of the longest running projects on BA Fashion at the college and is conceived, organised and promoted by first year students on BA Fashion Journalism & Communication. This year the theme was @theplayground_22J (experimental, sensory, surreal, playful, strange, graphical)

L’Oréal Professionnel Paris have an ongoing partnership with Central Saint Martin’s supporting creative young design talent, and this year invited hairstylist Jack Merrick-ThirlwayJ at Neville Hair & Beauty to create the hair looks and lead the @lorealproJ hair-team to style the hair for all 140 students who each modelled one look. The team included three @lorealpro ID Artists who take part in a two-year education and development program for talented hairstylists.

Lead stylist Jack Merrick-Thirlway shares how to get the look:
As the theme was the Playground we had a combination of some simple looks with a strong parting and gelled back at the sides to compliment more complex garments, and more abstract graphic shapes to enhance simple garments, with multiple little knots, looped ponytails and gelled tendrils.

For the boys, we kept the strong centre parting and gelled back the hair to give a clean slightly quirky silhouette

For the more graphic updos, spritz the hair with water and put in a strong centre parting. Then spray the sides with Tecni.art Fix Design and Techni.Art Full Volume mousse through the lengths. Brush it back into a smooth ponytail and secure with elastic. Straighten the lengths and flatten using tongs, then loop the lengths around and secure with elastic so the ends are facing up, spray and tong the ends to give a spikey finish. Alternatively divide the hair into sections, brush up and secure each section with elastic and twist the length into a little knot and secure to create multiple little knots.

Shorter hair can be worn slicked back, following the contour and shape of each model’s face, with some fringe pieces pulled across the forehead.

Neville Launches the Herbal Hair Remedy

Locking youth into our hair is just as tricky as it is the skin. Youthful hair relies on our hair being at its healthiest. We all yearn for soft hair with a sheen. To achieve this naturally is an added bonus ad now you can at Neville Hair and Beauty offer a natural cure for hair cuticles and shaft through an herbal hair ritual using the most organic of ingredients.

Italian Hair Healer and Senior colourist at Neville Hair and Beauty, Domenico Casella adores herbology. Ever the advocate of all things natural and organic, Domenico looked into “Officinal” herbs, which consists of plants and herbs used to create medicinal remedies, perfumes and cosmetics, to concoct the perfect treatment, suitable for all hair types, for very dry and stressed hair.

Dry hair can be the result of the imbalances inside and outside our body but most of the time this problem is related to environmental origins. For many people and in particular for women dry hair can be a big aesthetic problem because its dryness effect gives to the hair an unpleasant “straw effect” which gives a neglected feeling to it.

Designed to bring back youth, hydration and moisture to hair, the Neville Hair and Beauty Herbal Hair Ritual is a 4-step treatment by Philip Martin’s made from marshmallow, mountain arnica, soya, barley, Asiatic pennywort, all known for their glowing, nourishing, moisturizing and soothing properties.

Step 1: Domenico blends the herbs with hot water, until he reaches a creamy texture and then adds some Philip Martin’s Macadamia oil before blending the mix together.
*For virgin hair Domenico excludes macadamia oil from the blend.
Step 2: After having washed the hair and towel dried it, Domenico applies the treatment all over the roots, lengths and ends at the wash station.
Step 3: He applies clingfilm over the treatment and places the client under the Climazon for 30 minutes to maximise absorption.
Step 4: Domenico then rinses the treatment and proceeds with a sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner.

The result is an incredibly silky and glossy finish which lasts for days.

Price starts from £100 for short hair and £150 for long hair.

NB: The treatment requires a patch test.

Neville launches the Face Lift Blow-Dry

Hollywood’s best kept secret is out: Neville launches the Face Lift Blow-Dry

Hollywood’s best kept secret has been unveiled and Neville Hair and Beauty have created the technique from the city of angels, which takes years off your face. A technique tweaked by talented senior stylist Afroditi Koutsouki, the Face Lifting blowdry is a small but genius knack that gives a lifted appearance and contours the face giving a tauter, instantaneous snatched face lifted look. Achieved in just under 40 mins, this blowdry is a game changer for those suffering from tired, softer skin.

What happens:

Much like any blowdry, the service begins with a thorough shampoo and conditioner before being rough dried to remove any excess water. Then using a brush and hairdryer, the hair is blowdried to your preference. Afroditi sections the hair and draws in thin strands of hair from either side of your face around the temple area, braids the hair very tightly pulling at the back of the head and secures the two braids with an elastic. She then covers the two braids with the rest of the hair, concealing the invisible face lift. The rest of the hair is then rearranged to ensure that the “procedure” remains unseen.

This instant boost of a dewy collagen glow, or otherwise known blowdry should not be kept for more than 48 hours to avoid prolonged friction and possible hair damage. And because the health of your hair is paramount to us, a safe removal two days after is included in the cost of the service.

Whilst we can’t guarantee you’ll be 100% wrinkle free, the lines on your face will certainly appear faded and skin more taut. Perhaps a solution to delay more invasive procedures?

Beware, this blowdry is highly addictive!

Henna is making a headstrong comeback

Henna hair dye is making a headstrong comeback due to its natural offerings and shimmering results. Henna helps you cut out harsh chemicals from your beauty routine. It is Paraben- and sulfate-free and an all-natural beautifier that is the perfect antidote to colour, heat and product fatigued locks.

The Philip Martin’s Henné system, exclusive to Neville Hair and Beauty salon, gives clients a stunning palette of colours that produce a glorious glazed effect through the brush strokes of light which exalt the glare of the hair. The end result is micro lights. This toner works wonders on ladies gracefully going grey but desire a three-dimensional vibrant look. A 100% plant-based pigment that adds colour to the shaft of each hair, so that the hair also feels fuller. Rather than a bleach-based colour that strips and thins your hair.

Phillip Martins Henné System uses a mix of eleven colouring herbs, ingredients from the earth and nature cleverly blended with the Lawsonia Inermis and the Henné plant in order to achieve an eight-nuance palette which can give birth to a wide variety of tonalities and shiny transparent reflexes.

The Henne system is a bespoke colour service where the colour blend is personalised for each client. You will never meet anyone with the same colour hair as you! The colour matches your own skin tone creating a total harmony where nature is your hair saviour. Not forgetting the health aspect for your scalp and hair when the Henne System is applied.

Henna is packed with vitamins and nutrients and also aids scalp circulation. By using Henna, you are helping your scalp get some much-needed pampering. Research has shown that by turning to henna it will help eliminate split ends.

Henna is an environmentally sustainable product that respects the health of the hairdresser and the customer. Henna focuses on the wellness of the scalp and hair.

The Philip Martin’s Henné system is for clients that want totally natural and delicate colourings with no trace of chemicals. The Philip Martin’s Henné is the solution which combines the aesthetics needs of the operators which use a natural colouring system in the hair salon with specific needs related to the astringent and rebalancing effects on the scalp. The mixture of herbs has an aromatherapy effect which acts on the wellness of the senses.
