Neville creates hair look for the Chopard Art Show

Chopard Art Fashion Show 2023

Jack Merrick-Thirlway creates the hair look for Chopard’s Art Fashion Show 2023 at the Cannes Film Festival.

The Stylist:

Jack Merrick-Thirlway at ELSL Management supported by Neville Hair & Beauty Salon and Amazon Salon.

How to achieve the look:

  • Prep the hair using Shu Uemura Tsuki Shape. Once applied create a ruvido texture by blasting the hair dry and working the product in from root to tip with a paddle brush for thin and wavy hair. For textured hair blowdry the product in using a round wooden brush with boar bristles.
  • Using a pin tail comb part, the hair in the centre.
  • Select medium sections of hair along the centre parting and create a lived-in wave using a medium barrel tong. Change the direction of the wave for each section alternating between outward and inward facing. Ensure you leave the tips straight.
  • Apply a small drop of L’Oreal Professionnel Tecni Art Liss Control + to your hands and distribute evenly throughout the lengths of the hair to style out the waves.
  • Gather the hair back into a textured ponytail using your fingers and secure at the level of the occipital bone with elastic. Ensure you twist the elastic around the base of the ponytail 6 times to create a 1 cm width to allow for the twist. Elastic should be visible.
  • Using the ponytail length twist the hair on itself and up into a perfectly undone updo, leaving the straight tips out to the bottom left. Secure using pins and grips. The final look will show the tips of the hair visible to the bottom left and the elastic visible on the right.
  • To finish the look, apply a light mist of Kerastase Laque Couture hairspray to remove any flyways.

Jimmy Paul RTW at London Fashion Week for ON|OFF

How to achieve the look:
  • The Jimmy Paul x Hello Kitty was inspired from the 60’s with a key focus on volumes. Each model was given an individual look that best suited their face shape.
  • All models were prepped using L’Oréal Tecni Art Pli to give hold and allow us to mould the hair into big voluminous shapes.
  • Bridgette Bardot inspired most of the hair looks.
  • Each look required loads of backcombing at the roots.
  • We used L’Oréal Tecni Art Super Dust to secure the shape and allow us to manipulate the hair.
  • To finish the individual looks, L’Oréal Infinium hairspray was applied as a subtle mist to give shine and hold.
  • Red Ribbons were then added to each look to tie in the looks together.

Neville commemorates the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee

Neville commemorates the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with a replica of her iconic look

To commemorate Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Neville Tucker recreated Queen Elizabeth II ‘s iconic look. He has paid homage to not only the Queen, but also Charles Martin who was the Queen’s hairdresser for a large part of her sovereignty. Neville worked with Charles for many years at his salon, Neville Daniel on Sloane Street during the early 90s where he held the Royal Warrant.

Here is a step by step guide of how to recreate Her Majesty’s iconic look put together by Neville Tucker, owner of Neville Hair and Beauty and Jack Merrick-Thirlway, creative director. The true beauty of this look stems from true, authentic, old fashioned setting and dressing using only hair brushes, rollers and a hairdryer and no heated tools.

Begin by washing the hair as normal, using shampoo and conditioner. Ensure to use plenty of setting and blow-dry lotion throughout the blow dry process to provide hold. Using a hairdryer, a small brush and small rollers for maximum movement, split the hair into small sections for ideal positioning. Once the rollers are in place, the model is then put under a hood dryer for around half an hour to achieve heat through all the rollers. The elimination of tongs and straighteners at this stage is vital for the iconic, vintage look - going back to basics is the key. Once the hair is completely dry and set, the rollers are removed, and the hair is brushed through. Using a wide tooth comb, the hair is moved into the desired place and silver clips are placed around the curls and waves to keep them in place. Around the back, the hair has been carefully back-combed to achieve volume and hold. Small pins keep the hair tightly in place. The crown is then added at the front once the silver clips are removed around the front and hair covered part of the crown towards the back. Use hairspray to complete the look at to add shine and dynamism.

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!
