Katrina Bowden has no Equal
Raquel, who is one of are youngest stars was out assisting in hair and makeup shooting Katrina Bowden, for the Wish Clothing campaign and then again for OK Magazine. We love 30 Rock and Tina Fey can do no wrong. Katrina Bowden is the hot ditsy secretary of Liz Lemon on the show, but Katrina is out to be the face of Wish. I asked Quelle if she had fun-"heaps of fun, the day has no equal that I can remember, it was great", she replied. We can't wait to see the Wish campaign shots and the pics from OK.... watch this space.

Australian Social Media Superhero's and hair?
Here is the extract out of a blog post this week were I is featured not for hair but for what I do tapping on away on my computer all the time. See it is work!
You’re probably surprised to see a hairdresser on the list – hairdressing is rarely associated with social media. However, hairdressing is a business, too, so why shouldn’t it be promoted in the same way as any other business venture? Just because their main line of work is not solely online, it does not mean that the man on the street doesn’t know how to harness the power of the Internet to their advantage.
The brand name Stevie English is derived from Steve’s English roots – he was born in Somerset – his real name is Steve Corthine. He has been hairdressing for over 15 years in a career that has seen him work as far a field as the US, Asia and London before setting up show here in Australia. His work has appeared in Marie Claire and Oyster magazines, and on various fashion shows and shoots all over Australia. He uses social media as a way of promoting his business through the Stevie English Hair website, blog, Facebook account and Twitter. It’s a wonder he has any time to fix fancy hairstyles with all that typing!
Well its true i do i do tweet and use facebook a lot, but here is the prof its not a waste of time. :)
Seventh Wonderland Australian Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010
So This week in Sydney is Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, and Verity and Raquel are out of the salon working on shows. We are going to be giving Verity's tips on how she created the looks for designers over the next few days. Most of it is going to be for the hairdressing nerds, but hey, we like to keep you informed. At The English: "Knowledge is Power".
These photos here are from the Seventh Wonderland show. "Hair was heavily gelled and section by section, working from the nape to the forehead, it was smoothly wrapped back and forth against the head. Front sections directed forward and then swept up and back in the crown sections. The very front/top sections were sculpted wet onto the face and flowed around the sides and onto the neck. The finished look was wet, modern, 20's/50's skull bathing cap. Was really beautiful with the swimwear",said Verity.
Love your work V.
AHFA's Makeup Artist of the year goes to................
It's official: Verity Griffths is the BEST Makeup Artist in Australia!! Look -she is holding a big shiny award to prove it. I have never doubted mind you, Verity is a talent, and she needs no award to confirm that. She is a finalist for Hair Expo Session Stylist of the Year as well! Which will be judged in june, so watch this space.
Last night at the AHFAs at Sydney Town Hall I watched Verity take out the award and give a lovely speech, will also point out that she was the first person to swear up on stage. Its amazing to watch people you work with, who work really hard get proper recognition for all their hard work. Well done V you potty mouth.
Preening for the Pontiff
World Youth Day is happening , and I have never seen so many smiling teenagers. Beware of road closures and rosaries. Parking in Glebe will be unaffected, but check out alternate travel routes as Cleveland Street will be closed this weekend.Stevie English Hair is having a small facelift, actually it's more like a non-surgical cosmetic procedure. You may have noticed that the upper level of our building is a little unsightly and we are making it pretty. Its amazing what a new colour can do!
Style makeover
Glebe point rd is getting a style makeover, and part of that seems to be digging a moat around the Stevie English castle, unfortunately it will only be there for a short while, so no point getting crocodiles and drawbridge fitted. Its going to look great when its finished,-glebe point rd, not my moat.
