The results of the 2011 Salon Vie Stylist Shootout!
FIRST PLACE
Daisy styled by Debbie
In FIRST PLACE, as voted for by you, we
have Daisy, styled by Debbie,
senior stylist in our Tattenhall salon.
Here are a few of your
comments:
'The look and feel of the
picture works brilliantly and creates the most
professional shot out of them all - it has an almost
high end fashion/couture feel to it. The angle of the
shot focuses on the hair rather than the dress and I
like the way the dress also subtly reflects the
look/feel of the hair (but by being a darker colour than
the hair colour, it complements the hair rather than
detracting attention). The clever use of the mask also
takes focus away from any make-up or the face, thus
drawing the eye more to the hair. The mask also creates
an air of mystery to the shot and made me look at the
photo and the hair for longer than the other photos. I
would love to go to a mystery ball or party dressed like
this!'
'Stunning.'
'The sheer volume!'
'Really liked this model's
hair, modern and a touch of mystery.'
'Overall, this look looks very
sophisticated and I like the face makeup. It looks like
she's just off to one of Elton
John's glamorous, over the top balls.'
'Mysterious, sassy, yet
elegant.'
'Looks sexy.'
'Just looks ace!'
'Intense photo, bold hair,
very dramatic pose, love it ! Very pretty face, drawn to
hair and face.'
'I thought that this was a
very creative and AMAZING hairstyle!'
'I think the hairstyle is big
and beautiful, something I'd like to have done for an
avant garde event making it practical. It's
sophisticated yet wild and messy. You'd definitely be
noticed for wearing this.'
'I love this idea of a
Masquerade Ball type hairstyle. The soft curl style of
the hair is fantastic and matches up really well with
the black make up and black veil over the eyes, and also
the grey dress completes the whole hairstyle and
compliments the make up colour theme.'
'Great overall look. Love the
dress and makeup as well as the wacky hair!'
'Very unique and it has a
lovely shape.'
'Excellent work!'
'I love the whole look, the
grey and black theme work well with the blonde hair.'
'Very glamorous.'
'Cos it really is a 'hairdo'
with no gimmicks - just high & mighty!! Very clever.'
'Because it is like the 60s
and that 60s fashion is coming into the catwalk. I also
like the size, big but not too big!'
'Very creative and I love the
sense of fun and glamour.'
'Stunning and gravity defying.'
'Wow! How high is that!'
'I like the lines created
around the style and the softness of the curls. The
fringe is really dramatic and sharp,
contoured to the curls.'
'Looks fantastic and yet still
wearable. Great dress, great looks, lovely hair.'
'Elegant, stunning, dangerous
and avant garde! Love the height of the hair.'
'It's simply stunning.'
'Because I think it is so
beautiful and feminine.'
'It's a very different look
but also very sophisticated. Looks amazing!'
'I love the styling. It's not
overdone but still has drama. Hair is amazing as it
looks glossy and clever to achieve such height.'
'Dress and mask complement the
hair.'
'Funky but stylish.'
'Sophisticated and ethereal,
demonstrating skill.'
'I like the fun with the
sophistication of this style and the cleverness of the
stylist.'
'Composition, stance, style
and energy.'
'Very off the wall, however
elegant and refined. Beautiful in a quirky way. Stunning
colour & style of hair also model's dress and mask are
fab!'
'Glamorous, edgy and makes a
statement.'
'Very chic!'
'Fantastic hair and very
classy model.'
'Beautiful and elegant.'
'Unique twist on classic
elegance of 1600-1700 era brought up to date with more
loose curls and waves.'
