Hands on with Nicholas French!


Nicholas French Class


    Is it real? Yes! NICK FRENCH at TA :) 
Nicholas french graced us with his wonderful presence this week! If you don't know who that is... he is a master hairdresser who has an amazing eye for Avant-Gard long hair dressing. He is a very important part of our hair history. Nick and his family owned the creative and artistic French's of london. freddy french (nicholas's father) inspired many including vidal sassoon! (who shadowed him for a short time.)
   Mr.French started out our guest artist class with a bang. Our VERY egger and excited audience was amazed to see his books with large prints of his work from the past. He wowed everyone with his storied of the royal family his father. We saw a video with clips of his dad doing hair shows, the amazing sculptures he made to decorate the windows at his dads salon. Nick really gave the crowed some encouragement to look into our history and be inspired by the past.

The fun didn't stop there! The next day we had a hands on class were we got one on one time with nicholas and his assistant where we got to learn new tricks and fun new ways to do long hair. He helped us really understand how many ways there are to back comb and get your pins to hold.my personal favorite part was when we all got to draw out on head forms what we wanted to create.  It was great I jus wish that it could have been longer!
