The art of avant garde and Long Hair styling skills can bring out the best in your hairdressing creativity.

Today’s guest Anne Veck has certainly found her passion for this art and in doing so has seen her described as “One of the most iconic hairdressers in the world” by Hair magazine. If you want to explore a new side of hairdressing and how it can help you raise your industry profile, then Anne’s story will have you psyched on what you could achieve in the art of avant garde and long hair styling too.

Charismatic, motivating and creative, Anne’s journey form her native France to England, her pathway led her to open up Anne Veck salons in Oxfordshire. She is a leading advocate for ethical and sustainable business practice – something we learn more about in todays episode.

Anne’s real passion is sharing her skills and creativity with her peers. She educates and presents at shows, academies and salons throughout the world. Best known for her avant garde and long hair styling, this has seen her create stunning award winning photo collections, leading her to many award winning successes such as Alternative Hair Visionary Award 2004, AIPP Best Photo 2016, British Hairdressing Awards Southern Hairdresser of the Year 2016, AIPP Best Photo 2016 to name just a few…

As Anne says on avant garde hairdressing “It takes you outside your comfort zone, and it forces you to solve problems”. I like that thinking! Problem solving keeps you challenged and moving forward with new ideas. If you need to challenge yourself with something new then avant garde and long hair styling could be perfect for you. Time to hit play!
