Are you into creating vivid hair colour transformations? If so, then today you’re in for a treat! I’m about to bring you two separate interviews all rolled into one big juicy episode. A series titled: ‘The Rise of the Vivid Hair Colourists, joining me for Part 1 of this series is Becky Sutherland, owner of LUSH, followed by Sam Kerswell, owner of Mode Hair Lab.

With their vivid hair colour posts on social media, both Becky and Sam’s industry and online presence has seriously grown over the last year. Flying the flag for British Hairdressing, Becky and Sam who are making big names for themselves regardless of where they are located in the UK. Becky in the North East of England and Sam in the South West of England, both are proof that you can now achieve great industry things no matter where you’re located.

It’s fair to say that vivid hair colour trend have exploded over the last few years. Tired of the natural palette, a generation of consumers and hairstylists alike have turned to creating head turning colours. Something not seen since the early 80’s has vivid hair colours never been so popular.

I love how this exciting new breed of hair colourists (‘The Brit Pack’) have harnessed the new technology of hair colours and the results it gives them. Combine this with their creative colouring techniques ,boom, the final looks are eye popping good! Just one scroll through social media and the results are their to be seen.
