Backstage Hair at Thakoon’s Spring ’10 Show
Sneak Peak: Backstage Action at Thakoon’s Spring ’10 Show during New York Fashion Week.
Here’s a Behind the Scenes Look at the “Kick-ass Hair” created by Eugene Souleiman (Global Creative Director) and Eva Scrivo (Master Colorist) for Wella Professionals.
Thakoon’s Spring ’10 collection demonstrates the dichotomy of east meets west by combining contrasting textures with tight and loose elements. The hair style reflects a surfer meets samurai look with a sleek half pulled back ponytail knot and the remaining bottom half flows down the back into beach tousled waves. Hair color completes the look! Eva Scrivo hand painted extensions with Color Touch demi-permanent with contrasting light and dark tones to create a beautifully, cohesive color palette of natural shades with excellent dimension and shine.
