CONFIDENCE BUILT THROUGH HAIR
Andis North American Artistic Team Lead, Kenny
Duncan worked with L Wright Photography
to capture images of people at their best.
Ordinary people doing extraordinary things after
experiencing confidence-building haircuts!
These hairstyles set the tone for greatness before
work, school, sporting events and a date night.
“Whether it’s a music artist on stage in front of
thousands of people or the average person going
out on that special first date, feeling good about
your hair and the confidence that creates can be
a game changer,” says Kenny.
CHAOS & CONTROL
A couple of years ago a whimsical “jellyfish”
cut was making the rounds. The bob part of
the hair cut looked like the umbrella-shaped
bell whereas the longer strands emulated
the trailing tentacles. If anyone has ever run
into Pelagia noctiluca in the Mediterranean,
Charlie has nailed it! Like A-Rod’s barbered
women, we love Charlie Price’s choice of
color combo and cut on this muscle-shirted
model. Why not?! One might think that this
is an extraordinary editorial look, but
perhaps not so commercially viable in the
salon. But once again, the point is that hair
is genderless, so this look would also
work on female clientele. Charlie is
inspiring us to think outside the box, to
work with an almost iridescent palette on
what is essentially combination of an
undercut bowled bob with a shaggy
overlay. Today’s men are open to blending
or even covering greys. Some - especially
younger generations - are even opting for
more fashion-forward color services, with
shaved or faded sides and back and fluo
crowns. Unless a guy is enlisting, there are
no more rules - so they can be whoever they
want to be.
