Kevin Murphy Hair Styling Contest!

Underground stylist search for 10 global Stylist to win a trip to Melborne, Australia to meet Kevin Murphy's team. Winners get to create their own styling Video podcast with Kevin Murphy Products and more.

My inspiration for this style is a blend of historical moments... the elegant perfume of French salon couture mixed with the petroleum fumes of teen rebellion, under a high gloss fashion sheen.

The complex structural volume of the chignon takes us back to the high-rise hair of big band ballrooms, while the rockabilly front and mohawk shape give us more than a hint of teenage thirst for fast cars and rock music. The texture and volume of this style remind us of 80's nightclub divas. Meanwhile, clothes and makeup complete the look with a refined black-and-white formality.

Thanks Kevin Murphy for giving the world such great styling products!

How to Read & Understand Your Beauty Products

Finding the right beauty products to use on your hair and skin is a real challenge for consumers. How do you know if the beauty companies are honest with their ingredients? For example, did you know that the FDA allows beauty products to claim they are “all natural” with as little as 5% total natural ingredients?

Below is a link to a radio broadcast with special guest speaker, and Salon Services Davines Brand Manager, Ms. Kristal Baker. Her knowledge of natural ingredients and modern product science will help you understand how to choose your next products, and spot some empty promises.
