KH Hair Group Merges Creative and Colour Teams
The move is designed to inspire both the next generation of the Group’s East Midlands’ stylists, and the hairdressing industry as a whole.
“The time is right to merge the two teams together to form one formidable centre of excellence for all things hair,”- Darren Messias, Creative Director.
- The Creative Team was formed in 1985 and has regularly been involved in session work, photo shoots, and major industry shows.
- The colour team was launched in 2014 creating a central hub for colour couture across the Group’s 20 salons.
- In 2024, the Teams joined forces in a collaboration with Wella Professionals to put together a new colour menu to promote new shades in Wella’s Illumina range. This sparked the idea about merging the groups.
“Observing them working together, I could see they were pushing themselves to become even more creative. Playing on each other’s strengths and striving to become even more imaginative and artistic. It just made perfect sense to me to make this a permanent arrangement,” – Darren.
Team Blending Day
The Creative Team members travelled together to the Sassoon Academy in London for a bespoke course in cutting and colouring. They were inspired and motivated by the creativity delivered by the course and equally excited to learn new techniques which they can bring back into their salon work and training. They can’t wait to begin to pass on their new-found knowledge to other members of the KH Hair family.
The Team will continue to work closely with Wella to ensure all KH Hair salons have access to the very latest styling and colour innovations and products, and, through its creative session work, will be ideally placed to identify key trends, enabling them to advise clients in the salon about the best products for their hair type and the latest colours and fashion.
Future Plans
“Definitely more collaborations and training with Wella, both internally and externally. It’s important that members push themselves to continue to learn and be creative and proactive. The top-up training delivered to our apprentices will also definitely continue. Our trainees are always inspired by our award-winning teams and working alongside them makes them feel excited for their own future in hairdressing. So, watch this space, as we have lots more coming up and plenty more to offer this fabulous industry,” – Darren.
