PRESIDENT’S 

COMMENT 

Terry Calvert 

This is the position I’ve always aspired 

to achieve and after 20 years of 

membership, I believe I can now deliver 

a new era forThe Fellowship. 

Monday 19th May was a very special day for me – it was the day I received the chain of office 

as the President of the Fellowship for British Hairdressing. This is the position I’ve always 

aspired to achieve and after 20 years of membership, I believe I can now deliver a new era for 

The Fellowship. 

Creative hairdressing is what The Fellowship has always stood for and that’s what I want to 

take to another level. The past two Presidents have undertaken a fantastic job throughout the 

past four years, Sean Dawson and his successor Steven Goldsworthy, both made radical 

changes and pushed The Fellowship to new heights. I intend to not only carry on with their 

vision, but add my own personality to the sterling work they have achieved. 

My intention is to not only grow the membership but to spread the word by growing events. 

Already Alan Stewart from the Rainbow Room has agreed to coordinate a seminar in his 

academy in September and Ken Picton is keen to host an event in Wales, both of which will not 

only give us a platform to grow in these countries but to add to the junior side of Fellowship 

with ClubStar. Take note! I will be looking to all our members to contribute to The Fellowship in 

any creative way they feel they can, so do take the time to get in touch and talk over your ideas. 

This is my first issue as President and the magazine sees some interesting changes such as a 

new feature where I interview Council members – this month it’s my predecessor Steven, with 

new contributors who interview amongst others, our very worthy Fellowship Award winners – 

this issue it’s Fellowship Hairdresser of the Year, Tim Hartley. As we say farewell and a very big 

thank you to Peter Goldsworthy in the role of Fellowship Magazine editor - we welcome him 

back as our intrepid 'man-about-town', we also say a big welcome to our Newshound... 

Ann Herman under the reign of our new editor Julie Bellinger-Gibb. 

So, it’s going to be an exciting time ahead - lets all work together in making The Fellowship the 

organisation that we all want to be proud off. 

Terry Calvert 

President 

The Fellowship for British Hairdressing would like to thank all our Business Partners for their invaluable support throughout 2010.

president’s 

Terry Calvert interviews 

outgoing President Steven Goldsworthy 

WOW! President of the Fellowship – the position I’ve always wanted. It’s truly an honour to be given this prestigious post by my peers. 

I’m relishing the opportunities and challenges that come with this role - or am I? First things first, thought it best to take some time out 

with outgoing President, Steven Goldsworthy who has done a wonderful job throughout his two year reign for any tips and hints! 

TC Steven, I’ve now officially stepped into 

your shoes as the President of the Fellowship 

for British Hairdressing – any words of 

wisdom? 

SG As President it’s quite like becoming 

CEO of this amazing company overnight 

having been promoted from the role of 

office junior! As President you are the 

figurehead of the organisation so it’s 

important to be present at as many events 

as humanly possible and to be involved in 

absolutely everything that The Fellowship 

does. Due to the fabulous opportunities 

now available to Fellowship members and 

the amazing work of the Events Committee 

- your diary can become choc-a-bloc with 

dates – sometimes up to three Fellowship 

happenings on the same day – so your first 

lesson is learn to delegate! Get to know your 

fantastic council members and events team 

plus the host of Fellowship members – 

and accept their help wherever you can! 

TC Thanks for that Steven I most certainly 

will. I’m still astounded by the generosity of 

council members with their time and 

knowledge and the warm welcome I have 

received from each. Every President goes into 

their reign with a clear idea of what they can 

bring to The Fellowship – what do you think 

you have brought to The Fellowship table in 

the past two years? 

SG To be honest two years is not long 

enough to make a big enough mark – but 

it’s a time of implementation of ideas. 

For the first six months you are finding your 

feet with the help of your colleagues and by 

the time eighteen months are up you are 

pretty confident on the way to go – then it’s 

over! Having said that I’d like to think that I 


have helped to make the Fellowship an 

organisation that is more approachable. 

As a member for 20 years – I have always 

been quite passionate about the 

organisation and it was an absolute honour 

for me to be President. It’s in my nature to 

always be hands-on and involved in 

everything and I hope that I will be 

recognised as having done just that. I took 

up where my predecessor Sean Dawson left 

off – he’d done a fantastic job at building 

multi-branding sponsorship – and I’ve 

added to that. I’ve also encouraged open 

dialogue between council members, 

fellowship members and business partners 

and the media. Being non-London based I 

felt it was also extremely important to offer 

more regionalised events – and I’m pleased 

that these are up and running and proving 

a success. 

TC I’ve certainly noticed a complete 

turnaround in the past five years with regard 

to media coverage and the general branding of 

The Fellowship. I think the opportunities it 

offers members are absolutely amazing - 

there is something tailored for every 

hairdresser. You also run your own salon 

group, Goldsworthy’s – and even opened up 

your first franchise salon whilst President – 

how do you manage to mix your own very 

successful business with the business of 

The Fellowship? 

SG I’m very fortunate to have great 

partners, PR and family who knew that 

these two years would be extraordinarily 

busy. I ensured that I had their full support 

before I started and as you say, even 

managed to expand my own business and 

in the midst of the madness did the HABB 

charity bike ride through Vietnam and 

Cambodia! Hairdressing has never been 

a 9 – 5 business – and I’m a firm believer of 

if you don’t put the work in... It was quite 

usual for me to be catching up with council 

members at 9pm on a Sunday night – it 

really can consume you 24/7 so you do have 

to discipline 

yourself that 

you do take 

I’m a GREAT LISTENER and 

a firm believer that all negatives 

can be turned into POSITIVES! 

time out - for 

both yourself 

and your family. 

It’s all quite 

strange for me 

at the moment 

as I slipped and 

fractured my wrist and this has generally 

made me STOP! I’ve never been so 

frustrated in my life! Seriously though 

everyone that works with The Fellowship 

does it because they want to. They are 

committed to making it the best 

organisation a hairdresser can join and in 

doing so you have their undivided and 

loyal support. 

TC It obviously helps when your family are 

very much a part of your business – my wife 

runs one of our companies and it does mean 

that we do get to see each other! Looking 

back, what has been your favourite memory 

of your Presidency? 

SG My first President’s night. Held at 

Banqueting House, Whitehall – the theme 

was Cirque du Coiffure – and I was 

supported by 14 of the biggest names in 

hairdressing who each presented a model. 

The memory will remain with me forever 

and a day – a truly iconic moment! 

TC Your second one wasn’t bad either! 

Gibson Hall proved the perfect setting and it 

was a truly amazing evening – I’ve already 

started thinking about what I’m going to do 

next year! It all gets a bit competitive! 

What, then has been your worst memory? 

SG That has to be my weakest link which 

is that fact that I absolutely abhor 

confrontation! At various council meetings 

there have been ‘political fallouts’ over 

certain situations which I must say tested 

me! Having said that, I’m a great listener 

and a firm believer that all negatives can be 

turned into positives! In my case – I can 

now cope with anything that’s thrown 

at me! 

TC Your Presidency only lasts two years 

which like a new business does not give you 

a lot of time to make your mark. What work 

would you like to see continued? 

SG One of my visions was to get 

The Fellowship brand recognised in the 

consumer world. This is beginning to 

happen but it’s a slow process and I hope 

that you can build upon what has been 

done. Also that the open dialogue and 

transparency between business partners 

remains and they continue to get true value 

for their financial commitment – without 

their support The Fellowship would be 

unable to deliver with the same quality. 

TC I’m on to it! What will you do with 

all your new-found free time? 

SG Refocus on my business and start 

looking for the next franchise site so we can 

continue to grow the Goldsworthy’s brand 

and to be seen as a hairdresser again! I will 

of course always be there for The Fellowship 

in every possible sense because it’s always 

been there for me. Hand on heart – I’ve got 

a lot to thank it for over the years – which 

leaves me to say Terry – I wish you the best 

of luck as the new President and to enjoy 

every minute as I did. 

TC Thanks Steve. With a new decade in full 

swing, I’m really looking forward to a new 

chapter – not only for The Fellowship, 

but also for the country and the economy. 

I strongly believe we have left the worst of 

the economic climate behind us and look 

forward to an optimistic and exciting few 

years. It’s been the worst economic period I 

can recall over the last 50 years, but I’m now 

very positive about the future of hairdressing. 


MEDIA MATTERS 

JANE MACARTHUR 

Currently the editor of Hairflair 

& Beauty, Jane Macarthur has 

been a journalist in the hair 

industry for the last decade 

working on both the Blackhair 

and Hairflair & Beauty titles. 

Jane how did you become the editor of Hairflair & Beauty? 

I was actually on maternity leave from editing Blackhair magazine, 

when the opportunity to edit H&B arose. 

Had you always had a keen interest in hairdressing? 

I love everything creative and hairdressing is a wonderfully artistic 

aspect of our daily lives. As a sixth-former my friends and I were in 

love with the trendy Toni & Guy and Sassoon styles, and would 

always travel into the West End to take part in model nights or get a 

cheap n' chic cut at the T&G Academy off Oxford Street. I didn't care 

how short my hair was and the wackier, the better! In my 

mid-twenties I toyed with the idea of becoming a hairstylist, but my 

Mum talked me out of it - she said I was a dreadful conversationalist, 

so wouldn't be any good at making my clients feel comfortable in 

the chair! 

The Fellowship magazine reaches hairdressers all over the UK – what is 

the best advice that you can offer to them so that they are able to get 

their work published in your Hairflair & Beauty? (i.e. what is the 

criteria for photographs etc.) 

At H&B we love receiving photographic work from hairstylists 

around the world. Despite my years in the industry, I'm always so 

excited when a new hair collection arrives and can't wait to open the 

images. Fabulous hair photos inspire us hair and beauty journos to 

write reams! Big glossy prints used to be the thing, but nowadays we 

prefer to receive collections on cd (jpeg or tiff files, at 300dpi). 

The more information that is provided with a collection, the better, 

so a brief explanation of how the styles were achieved, as well as 

full credits, is wonderful! 

What do you think of the Fellowship for British Hairdressing? 

The Fellowship is the lynchpin of British Hairdressing. It inspires, 

educates and supports, and provides a centre of intelligence, if you 

will, for stylists not just in this country, but worldwide. 

How do your editorial team decide what to focus on in each issue? 

At the moment we tend to be led by celebrity looks, as well as what 

we see on the street. Whilst it is wonderful to be in a position where 

we can predict the next trend, the proof is in the pudding, so it's the 

styles, cuts and colours that are embraced outside the photo studio 

that mean more to our readers. We try to give our readers the 

confidence to go for the looks they really like, to trust in their 

hairstylist, as well as giving them the know-how to recreate styles 

themselves. 

How many issues of Hairflair & Beauty are there annually and where 

are they retailed? 

We publish six issues a year and retail in some supermarkets, 

WHSmiths and many independent newsagents. 

We publish the Fellowship for British Hairdressing Year Book which 

includes the contacts of all our members – do you, will you use this to 

refer to? 

Of course! 

How do you pick your covers? 

We've been using celebrities on our covers for some time now, so we 

look for current favourites who are wearing their hair in seasonally 

appropriate styles. From there we narrow it down to whose hair is 

most desirable at that moment. 

Do you commission photographic work? 

We regularly invite prominent hairstylists to shoot collections and 

editorial images at our in-house studio. 

Whose work in the hairdressing industry do you admire? 

Anyone who has made a name for themself in the industry has had 

to work so hard to do so, so I have great admiration for all those 

individuals. However, I particularly like the work of Philip Bell at 

Ishoka, it's what I would call 'cut-glass', and the finesse of 

Errol Douglas's creations is truly breathtaking. Mark Leeson is 

also a leading light in my book... 

Highlights in your Fellowship Calendar? 

The Fellowship Awards Luncheon – features very highly – it’s 

two-fold not only an extremely enjoyable event in the middle of the 

day – and secondly, being in the first week of December – set’s us all 

into the spirit of Christmas! 

Who cuts your hair? 

Oh, I wish you hadn't asked me this! I've been lucky enough to have 

my hair cut by some of the best of British hairstylists over the years, 

but I've been growing my hair for a long time and no one has 

touched it since I went off on maternity leave - a whole year ago! 

Any offers?

THE FELLOWSHIP AWARD 

WINNER’S POWER NIGHT 

BY SAMANTHA GROCUTT 

Wow’s, Annabella Lwin. To complete his talk, Sean presented a 

model showing the new direction of hob’s creativity and a little taster 

of what the industry can expect this coming year. 

The owner of seanhanna – Group Salon of the Year winner, 

Sean Hanna, was then invited on to stage by Fellowship Chairman, 

Frank Shipton, and shared with the audience his history in growing 

his salon into the group it is today, the tribulations that commonly 

accompany an expanding group, alongside his future plans such as 

the imminent opening of a 9th salon in Bristol and a major group 

rebranding. With an honest and direct chat, the audience were really 

able to share in the development and success of this winning salon 

group. 

The evening closed with three of The F.A.M.E. team members – 

Ross Taylor, Kim Rance and Benjamin Moth sharing their thoughts, 

activities and plans for 2010. With one shoot already undertaken with 

Errol Douglas MBE direction, another with Sacha Mascolo due in the 

summer, the team reeled off the inspiring names they have spent 

time being mentored with and the long list is still to come. With the 

future of British hairdressing in their hands, the audience could 

really see the enthusiasm and energy coming from this Team. 

Following the annual Fellowship AGM which saw the new 2010 

President, Terry Calvert being voted in for the forthcoming 2 years, 

Fellowship members were invited to attend a Power Night with the 

winners from the 2009/2010 Fellowship Awards. 

The evening started with a welcome from new President Terry 

Calvert who then invited Edward Hemmings from Alan d Academy 

to interview Salon of the Year winner, Robert Masciave from 

Metropolis. Sharing his insight into entering awards, team morale 

and then a fun and enthusiastic overview of his time as a young 

hairdresser in France to his move to the UK to what he hoped would 

be a lesson in punk hairstyling – his understanding of all that was 

cool of British culture at that time! Robert certainly kept the audience 

entertained with his fast paced story telling. 

The audience could really see the 

enthusiasm and energy coming 

from this team 

Past Fellowship President, Sean Dawson from hob salon and winner 

of Fashion Focus Image of the Year next presented to the audience. 

Talking through his inspiration and passions in creating a winning 

collection – from his 80’s icons Debbie Harry to Grace Jones, and 

finally revealing the winning image as an homage to Bow Wow 

INSPIRATIONAL PR DAY 

BY CAROLINE ASH 

The Fellowship for British Hairdressing presented the first PR and 

Branding Inspirations Workshop which was a huge success. 

Organised by Harriet Evans from Flint Consultancy and held in the 

Goldwell Academy, in London’s Mayfair, the delegates received 

inspiration and informative presentations from the hair industry. 


Harriet started the day with a brain storming session on Why PR? 

The delegates working in small groups were inspired and motivated 

and each group presented a fantastic understanding of the subject. 

Jacki Wadeson from JWPR then presented Growing Your Brand 

detailing successful examples from her own top end list of clients 

including Aveda, Denman Brushes and Royston Blythe. 

A press release workshop then followed led by Harriet Evans. After 

taking in all the information each group then wrote and presented a 

different press release. All received constructive feed back from 

Harriet and the other PRs. 

After lunch Julie Bellinger-Gibb presented The Road to Fame and 

two of her clients joined her to illustrate their fantastic relationship 

and how PR has helped them to grow within the industry. 

Paul Hawes from Review who has two salons in Hampshire, 

explained the history of the PR and branding of his salon and how 

winning local awards had resulted being successful nationally 

including Salon Team of the Year at both Hairdressers Journal 

Business Awards and Creative Head’s Most Wanted! 

Chris Appleton then explained after successfully being a member of 

the F.A.M.E. Team how Julie now helped him to meet his objectives with 

his personal pr after winning BBC’s Young Hairdresser of the Year. 

Following this Julie Allen from Joolspr went through the most ‘asked 

questions’ when taking on a PR for the first time. 

Louise Wood from Louise Wood pr presented on ‘Making Waves 

with Local PR’ and used her award winning client Barrie Stephen as 

an example of how successful this can be. She covered newspapers, 

magazines, tv and radio. Harriet concluded this fantastic day by 

giving the delegates a list of 10 top tips for getting started in PR. 

Kai and Jenny Wan, who own 2 salons P Kai Hair in Peterborough 

said, “It was a fantastic day, the information was so valuable and we have 

learned so much. We loved the presentations and now feel comfortable about 

contacting them and sending in our stories and collections. We also feel 

really confident about starting our pr, initially with all this information we 

will try it ourselves, and if necessary appoint a PR at a later date. Our 

improved understanding of the business means we will get so much more out 

of it now!” 

Our improved understanding of the 

business means we will get so much 

more out of it now 

Jacqueline Henri from Jacqueline Henri Salon in Portsmouth said: 

“I knew literally nothing about PR before today, so to me the information has 

been priceless. It was a privilege to have all those fantastic PRs in one room.” 

POWER OF 

PRESENTATION 

BY RICHARD DARBY 

From the incredibly popular ‘stage fright’ basic Presenters Course, 

to the more targeted and advanced skills areas, Fellowship 

Presenters’ Courses show creatively successful stylists exactly 

what it takes to share their ideas with fellow hairdressers in an 

educational, entertaining and inspirational way. 

They were all able to speak with 

renewed confidence and pace and 

essentially deliver a good hair 

presentation 

This year's presentation course was again hosted by the London 

Wella World Studio and was attended by 6 students. I am pleased to 

say that this 2 day course was invaluable to all those who 

participated. Everyone had similar concerns with regards to 

presenting and they all lacked confidence and being able to put a 

presentation together. 

Wella’s talented Pauline Vitale and Maria Carrubba did an excellent 

job as usual in delivering this course and by the end of the 2 days all 

the students had grown in confidence, learned how to add structure 

to a presentation and learnt how to deliver different presentations. 

They were all able to speak with renewed confidence and pace and 

essentially deliver a good hair presentation. Some of the students are 

hoping to use their new found skills on forthcoming Members’ 

Nights and on stage at Salon International." 

FELLOWSHIP WORKSHOP 

AT KEN PICTON – CARDIFF 

BY FRANK SHIPTON 

Small scale, regionally based workshops designed to offer an 

intimate group real in-depth, one-on-one education and training 

with Fellowship masters. These events are usually held in a 

member’s salon or training academy. Fellowship Workshops 

enshrine The Fellowship’s philosophy of freely sharing ideas and 

core skills more successfully than any other events. 

The multi-award winning salon Ken Picton salon in Cardiff Bay 

played host to the Fellowship Workshop where Ken Picton’s 

Michael De Valle was joined by Lara Johnson, Julian Clark from 

Goldsworthy’s, and Peter Prosser and Christine from Peter Prosser 

giving the 9 attendees a fabulous opportunity to get up close and 

personal.

The volcanic cloud didn’t stop The Fellowship’s 

‘flight’ of fancy to Vegas. However this could not 

be said for some of the folk who had booked 

tickets but were stranded abroad, (including 

Chancellor Mark Creed). The upside was that 

some folk who were going to be away were still at 

home so were able to take up some of the tickets 

newly available – keeping Carol and Denise in the 

Fellowship office very busy indeed! 

Presid 

On our arrival at the magnificent Gibson Hall 

in the City of London we all enjoyed a 

fabulous champagne reception in a choice of 

venues, the beautiful garden room or the 

neighbouring very sunny garden. 

As dinner was announced we each made our 

way through to the celebrated hall where we 

were greeted in true Las Vegas style by a ratpack 

repertoire from a very convincing 

Sinatra and later found ourselves in a room 

full of rockers as we were entertained with 

an Elvis tribute. 

Next up on the stage was outgoing President 

Steven Goldsworthy who recapped on his 

two year Presidency and in doing so thanked 

all the folk who had supported him 

throughout. Steven also invited everyone to 

join him in the Fellowship Casino after 


ent’sNight 

dinner and make use of the ‘play’ money 

they could find on their table. Further chips 

were also available in blocks of £5 the full 

donation of which would go to our very own 

charity, HABB. The Casino’s magnificent 

prizes which had been donated by our 

‘partners’ included 2 tickets from 

Schwarzkopf to the British Hairdressing 

Awards; 2 tickets from Wella to their fabulous 

Wella TrendVision final, from ghd 4 pairs of 

their brand new brightly coloured 

straighteners, from Balmain a voucher for 

education/products, from L’Oréal 2 tickets for 

their Xposure tour in Europe and from 

Redken 2 tickets for their Symposium show 

in none other than Las Vegas itself!

and roasted baby goats cheese salsa, fig and 

white balsamic syrup, main of ballantine of 

chicken with sun blushed tomatoes, and a 

simply divine triple chocolate parfait, 

(liberally washed down with red and white 

wine), we were entertained by a team of 

magicians who astounded us with their 

amazing tricks. 

A special surprise for out-going President, 

Steven and wife Tracey was when 

Sophie Rose Goldsworthy was called to the 

stage where she firstly sang a duet with 

Dave Jelly then performed a stunning solo to 

resounding applause (especially from her 

Grandfather – mwah!) A guest appearance 

from Faye Presto followed. 

Chairman of The Fellowship for British 

Hairdressing, Frank Shipton, then made a 

special welcome to some of the past 

Presidents present which included Peter and 

Andrew Collinge, before responding on 

behalf of the guests to the President’s address 

and in doing so, presented Steven 

Goldsworthy with his Past Presidents medal. 


Later in the evening two magicians appeared 

on stage and invited back ‘old’ President 

Steven Goldsworthy, whereupon they 

stretched a large piece of black material 

behind him and securely wrapped him up – 

within seconds they unwrapped the ‘parcel’ 

which had magically turned into new 

President Terry Calvert complete with full 

Presidential chain of office. 

Terry Calvert remained on stage to outline 

his Presidential policy and plans which 

although ever mindful of his responsibilities 

has promised to include some fun. 

Time for the Fellowship Casino where the 

free bar continued until the clock struck 12 

when we each made our journey home. 


F.A.M.E . TEAM 

F.A.M.E.TEAM DIARY 

BY BEN MOTH 

No it wasn’t April fool- a date with my 

hero – the man himself – Tim Hartley. 

He turned the tables and flattered us 

almost immediately by giving us the 

incredible opportunity to prep his three 

models with colour! 

We went through the opportunities 

discussing angles in which he was aiming to 

achieve with each of the models – leaving 

absolutely nothing to chance! It was so 

hands on – it was absolutely incredible! 

Tim was a hard taskmaster but so deserves 

his iconic status with his fabulous twist on 

everything. The four of us valued this 

fantastic opportunity to get up close and 

personal with the man himself. 

BY KIM RANCE 

For any hairdresser I think at some point in 

their career they want to go on a Vidal 

Sassoon training day. Vidal Sassoon is 

legendary everyone knows about Sassoons 

whether they had their hair cut there or 

trained there or even remember when it 

first started out. 

So today was our lucky day we got a taste of 

the classic Vidal Sassoon work. I had never 

had the good fortune to meet Bruce 

Masefield, art director for Sassoon’s before 

but took an instant liking to him especially 

as he said this day was part one of two! 

Our first day was spent going back to basics 

with Bruce – he was keen for us to show 

him our skills and was quite adamant that 

we would not be moving on to the more 

advanced cutting skills until we had each 

perfected the classics. 

The classics in themselves are the show 

stoppers. Every hairdresser appreciates a 

fantastic bob and that’s exactly was Bruce 

demonstrated for us. He masterfully crafted 

a simple but oh so elegant bob from long to 

short. 

The four of us simply watched and 

observed spellbound until it was our turn, 

when Bruce took us patiently through our 

cuts step by step. We learned the Sassoon 

art of wrap drying and were introduced to 

their abc education which really explained it 

all to us. What’s more all the models we 

worked with were so very happy with the 

results. 

BY OLIVE TUCKER 

Our day with Patrick Cameron was 

amazing ....... he is undoubtedly the 

maestro of long hairdressing. Throughout 

the morning he demonstrated his hair 

artistry – making everything look so easy. 

His advice, openness – hints and tips when 

it came to both long hairdressing and the art 

of presentation – of which he is the best 

were all well received by myself and the 

team. 

Patrick turned the tables on us in the 

afternoon and it was our turn to create the 

styles demonstrated in the morning. What 

could have sent us all into panic mode was 

soon defused by Patrick’s articulate 

step-by-step guidance all the way – 

resulting in an afternoon of unrivalled fun. 

Thank you Patrick – you are a Superstar! 

ROSS TAYLOR 

What a coup! Our wonderful manager 

Bruno Marc Giamattei managed to secure 

an amazing day for us with the legendary, 

iconic Robert Lobetta! 

When we were asked at the beginning of 

the year who we would most like to work 

with – Robert appeared on all our lists – 

recognised as being one of the most 

imaginative and passionate hairdressers. 

On his arrival Robert explained that we 

were going to conduct a five-way 

conversation – it was his aim not only to 

give – but to receive information 

throughout the day. Starting the day – 

Robert told us the amazing story of how he 

first became a hairdresser and the journey 

he has taken in order to achieve what he 

has today, being extremely frank about the 

highs and lows along the way that has 

made him who he is. Robert even joined us 

for lunch which just shows what a down-toearth 

guy he is. As promised the tables were 

then turned on to us and Robert 

interviewed each member of the F.A.M.E. 

Team honing on our specialist skills and 

where we felt we would like to be in the 

next few years. This was no ordinary 

interview – and completely opened up our 

eyes to everything as he introduced a new 

spin to the way we work, explaining how 

we must find ourselves and be prepared to 

take risks along the way. 

It was an extremely interesting exercise and 

listening to my fellow members of the 

F.A.M.E. Team talking about their hopes and 

aspirations made our bond of friendship 

and comraderie even stronger. When all was 

done – we all had so much to think and talk 

about – and totally blown away with 

inspiration! Thank you Robert!

successful event for members. Held at the 

beautifully appointed Mahogany Academy 

on the 22nd March, the evening showcased 

Mahogany’s latest creative work entitled 

‘Collection Garconne’. 

ClubStar Project Leader Simon Shaw was on 

hand to welcome members and introduce 

DARREN NEWTON, Creative Director of 

the Mahogany Academy. Darren and his 

team spend considerable time travelling the 

world to share their skills on countless 

international stages as well as education 

many students who flock to the heart of 

London and the Mahogany Academy. 

The intimate venue allowed ClubStar 

members to get up close and personal with 

Mahogany’s high technical standards and 

beautiful work. 

Simon Shaw said: “The audience was really 

captivated with the work sessions and truly 

blown away by the presentation models. 

Mahogany is a company committed to quality 

and ClubStar is grateful for their support.” 

The night at Mahogany was a sell out event 

with tickets FREE to ClubStar members. 

The team shared their techniques and 

inspiration with the audience and gave real 

wisdom and advice on their creative 

approach to hairdressing. The audience 

were then also able to ask questions and 

chat with the team after the seminar. 

ClubStar was created to offer trainees and 

young professionals an affordable and

PROJECT X 

Shooting 

their first 

collection 

BY HARRIET EVANS 

The Project X-ers recently enjoyed an 

exciting and inspiring day at the Bedhead 

Studios in London shooting their first-ever 

photographic collection as a group. 

Hosted by the TIGI team and directed by 

their mentors Rob Eaton and Karine 

Jackson, the students worked on an 

ambitious editorial-style shoot, styling six 

models and two looks on each. The blonde 

collection, shot in black and white and using 

a variety of session-styling techniques, will 

provide a stunning showcase collection for 

Project X. 

While at the studio, the guys got to meet and 

be photographed with icon Anthony 

Mascolo, and had their own PR portrait shots 

done by top TIGI photographer Ben Cooke 

who was shooting the models that day. 

“The day went brilliantly and the results are 

going to be great. It was good to see the team 

working together so well on their first group 

shoot as working as a big group can often be 

quite stressful. The day ran very smoothly and 

the collection will have a very edgy modern 

young feel” said Robert Eaton Project X 

leader. 

Karine Jackson, agreed: “The shoot was 

fantastic! The team all craving more and more 

information and absorbing it like sponges. They 

worked really well together and tried out all the 

techniques with an open mind. Using crimpers, 

tongs, hair pieces and wigs they really stretched 

their creativity and in return produced some 

fabulous images. It was great to see such a young 

enthusiastic team gel so well.” 

Watch this space for the finished collection! 


COLOUR PROJECT 

TEACHING 

EXPERIENCE 

The Fellowship Colour Project provided a double whammy of teaching 

experience for the students to soak up at Wella World Studios. 

The morning began with Bruno Marc and Carly Roberts from 

Marc Antoni Salon demonstrating their stunning cut and colour 

collections whilst conversing with the students on technique and 

colour application in detail. The ever comical Bruno put his no 

nonsense spin on the day with a patter of humour and erudition. 

After lunch the afternoon became a true learning curve with Billi 

from The Chapel; One of Amanda Dickers’ protégés. Billi and her 

assistants got down to the day in true Chapel style with playful 

interaction demonstrating their styles of colouring whilst creating 

awareness and understanding regarding the roots of their creativity. 

The students thought processes were truly transformed by 

connecting colour patterns and haircuts collectively. 

Colour Project student Lee from Pearson Clarke salon remarked, 

“This has been a really inspiring day, I have learnt a lot and found the day 

really motivating.” 


innovator 

interview with an 

After three decades leading the creative 

direction of Vidal Sassoon, current 

Fellowship Hairdresser of the Year, 

Tim Hartley, is now a liberated man 

whose relentless creativity continues 

to propel him to awesome heights. 

Recent years have seen a new energy and direction from 

Tim Hartley, whose creativity defined iconic eighties and nineties 

hair. Now his own man and loving to work with people who have 

a true passion for hair, Tim can choose the collaborations he wants 

to get involved with which reflect his creative motivation. 

Tim’s talents are in demand by the likes of L’Oréal Professionnel, 

Aveda, Davines and MTV and he travels the world presenting hair 

shows in Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia and Asia. But London 

remains his preferred end destination; it’s where he lives, 

his remarkable Bauhaus-inspired 60s architect-designed home 

providing the serenity needed to replenish his energies and 

stimulate his creativity. 

With an unquenchable thirst for the new, a passion for fresher and 

finer burning brighter than ever before, Tim’s advice to others is 

simple: “Be open-minded, seek out diversity, find a great mentor, 

work hard and love what you do – every day.” 

‘‘ 

I present my collections all over the world and a country can 

“I have a natural interest in trends and the most bizarre things can 

trigger my creative thoughts. Take the recent Tom Ford movie for 

example. Cinematic style inspires me anyway, but that film, which 

evoked a moment in time – 60s California – was all about beauty; 

every frame was flawless, showing an idealistic, purely perfect 

world. It made me think that as hairdressers, it’s what we try to do 

for our clients – create their ideal. 

So my new collection is going to be pure and uncomplicated, 

a design classic, monochromatic and simple, the opposite to my last 

collection which was very styled-up and based on colour, looks going 

from blonde to black and all stages in-between. 

sometimes take you by surprise. The audiences in Poland were the 

last thing I expected; very fashion forward, conceptual and cool. 

Passionate people inspired by amazing art influences, but then, 

as Berlin is only three hours away, I get that. 

And the hotel I stayed at in Poland blew me away; it was as fantastic 

as one I’d stay at in New York. Its design approach was minimalist – 

60s Italian lighting which always gives a space-age vibe and 

George Nelson USA influenced chairs; and the bedrooms were either 

all black or all white, stylish and brilliantly furnished. I opted for a 

white bedroom – very Barbarella! 

Travelling as much as I do, hair wise, I like to think we Brits still lead 

the way, but the danger is unless we continuously improve 

standards, everything starts to look the same. To overcome this, 

we must acknowledge and harness youthful creativity. I don’t think 

we give enough exposure to young ideas and the mainstream names 

tend to dominate too much. 

And there are pockets of great creativity in Europe, mostly in the 

northern hemisphere – Poland, Germany and Scandinavia – where 

there are mad, cool people just mental about hair, so we do have 

competition there. 

But luckily I have seen salon groups in the UK where the focus is on 

creativity – Electric in Brighton and Westrow in Leeds for example – 

fantastic teams who are keen to work harder, do better. Working with 

young people gives you a lot back and somehow we have to get that 

idea out there to secure our creative future.” 

It’s an emotional business, hairdressing, because we put our heart 

and soul into it. And I have to say I was so emotional, overwhelmed 

on being announced Fellowship Hairdresser of the Year. Being 

recognised by your own is quite something. 

I didn’t have a clue I was going to get it; Ann Herman invited me to 

the Fellowship Luncheon months before and I had so much on my 

mind, I didn’t even begin to think there was anything behind the 

invite. I was overcome, recalling early days of being at Fellowship 

dos at the Café de Paris and Vidal being a Patron of Honour – 

it really was quite overwhelming to be honoured in that way. 

And I must say the actual award itself is an object of beauty, so much 

so it’s in my living room as opposed to other awards which are in the 

garage! I am very touched to have the accolade and began to realise 

the strength it brought me when I found myself emailing all my 

clients to share the news of my success.”

secretary@clubstarhair.co.uk AND THE LAST WORD MUST GO TO OUR DEAR 

OLD ED - PETER GOLDSWORTHY... It is now time for me to hang up my editor’s 

eyeshade (for the second time) and pass the task over. My decision is prompted as 

The Fellowship is so successful as an organisation it is not possible for me to devote 

the time to producing an issue for each of our partner sponsors during 12 months 

as this will now be 9 issues. I am delighted that my replacement is none other than 

Julie Bellinger-Gibb and she brings great knowledge and expertise to the role and 

I assure her of my continued support. I have loved producing the Fellowship 

magazine and meeting so many of you over the years, thank you for your stories 

and news, just keep them coming but send them to our new editor. I will still be 

contributing to the magazine as Julie has found a new role for me (see page 7). 

I look forward to meeting you at Fellowship events. Yours in fellowship, Peter. 


chair·man [chair-muhn] – noun 

meaning the presiding officer of a 

meeting, committee, board, etc. = 

is elected as Chair of the main Council and, in addition 

to chairing meetings, oversees the practical, financial 

and day-to-day management of The Fellowship. 

The Chairman’s role is to provide stability and unity 

and to help carry out the decisions of the Council 

and the policy direction of the President. 

Since the last AGM we have been working hard on the 

reorganisation of The Fellowship and we are near the point of 

becoming a Company, Limited by Guarantee, a position that will 

financially safeguard The Fellowship and all its members. Each 

member will receive an invitation to subscribe to the new company, 

and I urge you to attend to this invitation as soon as is possible to 

aid Carol Spencer, at The Fellowship office, to make the transition 

to the new Company as smooth as is possible. Carol has worked 

extremely hard with this matter, as well as her other Fellowship 

duties, and I thank her for her loyalty and endeavours on the 

Fellowship’s behalf. 

Over the past year, The Fellowship has held many notable and 

exciting events, including Power Night, Masterclass! in London and 

in Exeter, Presenter’s Course, regional and London based workshops, 

as our main features of education, all of which were highly regarded. 

None of these would have been as successful without the support of 

all our Business Partners, Diamond, Gold, Silver and Bronze, our 

highly skilled, talented and motivated membership, and of course 

the organisational skills of the Events Committee, under the 

guidance of our Show Coordinator, Ann Herman. I thank them all on 

your behalf as well as Denise Simkins, at The Fellowship Office for 

her diligence and patience with us, sometimes disorganised 

hairdressers! Also, special thanks to Catalyst Consultancy who are 

now producing our flyers. 

Project X has gone from strength to strength under the much 

travelled and hard working eye of Robert Eaton. Aaron Blondell 

offered much support and our best wishes go out to him for a 

speedy recovery from illness. Their efforts, along with all members 

working with this project are very much appreciated by The 

Fellowship. 

The newly instigated Colour Project led by Mark Creed, Jo O’Neill 

and assisted by Tanya Hennessy, provided much needed education 

in this area of our business, with their expertise being showcased at 

the fabulous Colour Night. Thank you to all concerned. 

ClubStar, our initiative for younger members, in its infancy has 

grown through the foresight of Nigel Sillis, with Simon Shaw 

expanding this idea by means of an exciting calendar specifically 

aimed at the youthful membership. Their numbers have increased 

significantly because of this, as well as the drive of the ClubStar 

Secretary, Emma Bushell, at The Fellowship office, which augers well 

for the future. 

Over the past year I have been hard at work negotiating with our 

licensed counterpart in Australia, and I am very sad to say, that due 

to the intransigence and personal conflicts in their camp, the 

Fellowship for British Hairdressing has not renewed their license for 

the foreseeable future. 

World Hair Ltd., despite the efforts of some of its Directors, is 

proving to be an unproductive organisation, and I aim to resolve this 

situation within the next 12 months, if reconfirmed as your 

Chairman. 

The Fellowship has received many column inches in our trade press 

as well as the consumer media, which in no small way is down to 

our Fellowship ‘Angels’, our voluntary PR’s, Julie Allen, 

Julie Bellinger-Gibb, Harriet Evans and Sally Learmouth. 

This year, as you know is election year, no not that one! Far more 

important – the Fellowship Council, as well as President. So I would 

like to thank those members who are retiring their posts, for all their 

appreciated efforts namely, Dawn Adams, nee Bryant for her 

magnificent F.A.M.E. Team(s) that broke new boundaries during her 

tenure and Peter ‘Scoop’ Goldsworthy for providing us with the 

glossy, informative Fellowship magazine, as well as being Trustee of 

this organisation. Thank you! 

Thanks are also due to our main image providers for covering all the 

Fellowship initiatives – Tony Hennessy, William Sparacia and 

Ray Bird. 

Last, but definitely not least – I personally want to thank our 

outgoing President, Steven Goldsworthy, for everything that he has 

brought to The Fellowship over the past 2 years. Steven has worked 

tirelessly behind the scenes as well as on The Fellowship stage – 

throughout which he has been fantastic to work with. Good luck and 

heartfelt thanks. I now look forward to working and supporting our 

incoming President Terry Calvert.
