Have your say on the new Fellowship Forum
Do your sometimes feel that you're all alone as a hairdresser and nobody's listening?
Need to chat, meet, discuss or simply let off steam online?
Want to pick Fellowship member's brains on topics that are bothering you? Surely someone else must have experienced the same problems or issues you are currently experiencing, but who? And will they share their thoughts?
What have you been up to - wanna tell people all about it?
Got an opinon on the Fellowship, or hairdressing matters in general that you're simply bursting to share with the world...?
All this and more can be found on the Fellowship Forum. The latest exciting addition to the Fellowship's website.
Many of the discussion areas are 'open' forums, so you and your staff or anyone interested in these issues can post and comment back. You can even create a new topic and set up a new discussion trail. Why not encourage your stylists and staff to chat online with us?
There's also a dedicated "Members Only" area that will be accessed via a secret password, so Fellowship members have an exclusive forum to chart and share their thoughts, ideas, issues, dreams and aspirations with other members. Just click on the e-mail the link to our webmaster on the Forum page and - if you are a member - we'll send you the secret password for "Members Only"!
It's your Forum, so please feel free to use it! |

President's Night 2008
Sean Dawson bowed out of his extraordinary two-year term as President in the same inimitable style that we had come to expect of him. Over 350 guests descended on the Natural History Museum in order to celebrate the President who has helped to make the Fellowship both grown-up and cool in equal measure.
During his term of office Sean focused on nurturing relationship with key Fellowship supporters. One of his outstanding legacies will be the creation of the Partnership program, designed to focus attention on the financial support that the organisation is fortunate enough to receive. By building a stronger business relationship with sponsors and supporters Sean has helped to cement the Fellowship's financial future for many years to come. Something that should not be underestimated.
Sean also brought a maverick and highly personal touch to his Presidency that was highly appealing to a younger, cooler and hipper new generation of stylists - the very ones who will in time create the future of the organisation, and the industry itself.
After the huge success of his first President's Night in 2007, held at Madame Tusaud's, Sean had a tough job coming up with something different to follow. However, all were in agreement that the atmosphere at the Natural History Museum was more than a suitable final flourish for a President who will, without doubt, be a hard act for Steven Goldsworthy to follow.
Sean was clearly moved as he bade his final farewell to the role of President, but he has promised that he will maintain a hands-on, active and encouraging role to the Fellowship in future. His passion for the Fellowship and hairdressing has brought him a long way, but he has an even longer journey ahead. We wish him well.

Fashion Focus - Spring/Summer 2008
The fashion seasons roll around with relentless regularity and every six months the Fellowship Fashion Focus event presents the key trends and predictions for the future of hair – from street to couture, and everything else in between...
Spring/Summer 2008 was showcased at the Lowry Centre in Manchester recently as 21 top teams highlighted a diverse and largely retro-flavoured season ahead. The 2008 F.A.M.E. Team provided an excellent opening to the event with a dynamic showcase featuring their interpretation of the “Futuristic Rockstars” trend. Each of the 5 talented team members styled their vision of what the modern rock goddess – or aspiring goddess - should be sporting. Its all 80’s stack curls, blocky, gothic-inspired colour and bags of attitude apparently – so now you know!
The main action followed with seven key trend predictions being interpreted by three teams each, to display a wealth of technique, style and attention to the “top-to-toe” look. Cutting trends were showcased by Keith Hall, Russell Eaton and Vidal Sassoon, with strong lines and Bauhaus-inspired precision and graphic flavour being the key messages here. Colour predictions were in the hands of Philosophy, Mahogany and Westrow. Each showed Neon Bright flashes of colour in styles that ranged from outlandish 80’s backcombed’n’messy to chic hidden colour panels that were right on the button with current trends. P.Kai, Marc Antoni and The Gentry showed that movement and texture were an essential part of today’s style scene. 40’s and 80’s inspiration was key here, with waves and curls very much in evidence. Long hair followed a very similar feel with Goldsworthys, Andrew Collinge and The Chapel each presented looks that were about adding style and elegance with a retro twist to hair. Falltricks, M&M and Hooker and Young showed fashion-forward, directional trends from doll-like to retro-futuristic and sheer show-stopping glamour with a very contemporary edge - all stunning technical and style creations. Men were not forgotten as Alan D, Steven Carey and Kennedys showed dandy and military-inspired styles demonstrating that longer, classically barbered and more dressed looks were the thing for the man of the moment. Finally... Royston Blythe, Sanrizz and Scully Scully showed hair fashion with an urban edge with Streetbeat style showcasing trends for tight curls, multi-texture, volume and asymmetry.
There’s plenty to choose from it seems, with many diverse influences this season. Stay on the button with Fashion Focus Trends at www.fellowshiphair.com.
Fashion Focus was introduced by Fellowship President-elect, Steven Goldsworthy and ably co-hosted by President, Sean Dawson and HJ Deputy Editor, Ruth Hunsley. The event was coordinated by Ann Herman and project managed by Mark Creed. Photos by Frank Shipton and Steve Eckersley. |
