March was a busy month for The Fellowship Project Teams.

Project Men & Media spent their day with Wahl’s UK Creative Director, Alan Beak, whilst Project Sassoon spent their day with their project leader, Kitty Latham, and the Sassoon’s London Academy Assistant Creative Director.

Westrow Academy
Project Men & Media travelled to the Fellowship’s Centre of Excellence, Westrow Academy in Leeds to spend the day with Alan Beak, Wahl’s UK Creative Director, and Assistant Lead on Project Men & Media.

The team’s focus for the day was arranging a photoshoot and a hair demo on a live model.

Alan Beak
“Spending the day with Alan was a buzz, I even graced the camera with my modelling skills. From striking poses to mastering social media tactics, Alan’s expertise is second to none, and getting a haircut from the man himself was the cherry on top. Fantastic day out!”- Peter Healy.

Priceless Knowledge
“A Day of knowledge, pushing ourselves and planning out the future with Alan. He shared his priceless knowledge with us and inspiring us to push ourselves on social media and with our skills! Can’t wait to start putting it in place for the future and start upping my game. Thank-you Fellowship, Alan and Simon for organizing this!” – Kieran Martin.

Different Techniques
“Had a wonderful time with Kitty, what she doesn’t know about cutting hair! Had a wonderful time looking at the in depth of ABC cutting and different techniques. We then took that into an afternoon session and did the Sassoon ‘shake’ technique on our blocks. Learnt something super new and had such fun doing it. A huge Thank you to Kitty again,” – Callum Bates-Siney.

Kitty’s Lessons
“The day began with Kitty explaining about the history of Vidal Sassoon and how he was a Modernist as he didn’t like the way women did their hair. He went to the Bauhaus Design School in Germany to study shape and architecture and he related this to shapes in hair. We learnt about technique and how A is for lines, B is for graduation C is for layers. Also, about Elevation, Tension and Cutting Angles and how shapes in hair are round, square, or triangular. Then had fun cutting a long-layered Shake haircut using our new theory knowledge, really loved the day, Ooh also wrap drying!! Thank you, Project Sassoon,” – Sarah Dawes.
