PROJECT EXTEND SPEND THE DAY WITH THE INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED ROBERT MASCIAVE

Internationally renowned, Robert Masciave is now one of hairdressing’s most creative and innovative voices, with over 30 years’ experience, as a leading hair artist and 20 years as a salon owner. Robert’s trademark style is lavishly extravagant yet extremely approachable. He became well known for his technical excellence combined with extraordinary vision and having presented his work on some of the biggest stages around the world, his charismatic and energetic presentations are always a sell-out. He’s known for pushing boundaries in his sometimes controversial but always impeccable work.

The team spent the day at Robert’s salon Metropolis in Kingston upon Thames, joined by Ceri Cushen, Art Director at Metropolis.

Robert gave an oversight into his career and how he understands cutting. How to cut textured & synthetic hair and showing the team how to blend extension hair into the natural hair. Robert then when onto showing the team how to manipulate jumbo braids for shoots and shows, how to wig wrap and how to create a perfect photoshoot.  The day was modelled on a course that he teaches as brand Ambassador for Revlon. 

Emma Holt comments: “The team day with Robert, was one I was looking forward to. Robert is the reason I fell in love with Avant Garde and telling my story through hair art. He taught us a really technical cut in 10 mins and his teaching is easy and visual so that everyone can understand what is happening a real way in which I believe people should be taught. I’ve come away, feeling totally inspired am blessed to have spent the day with Robert and his team”.

Marlene Lamont comments: "Monday with Robert and Ceri really was one of the most inspirational and creative days I've ever been on in all my years in hairdressing .The cutting techniques were nothing I'd ever seen before but I've been using them all since and the advice and ideas we got on our photoshoot actually helped me to visualise my ideas. I had a day I will never forget, that has adadpted how I think about creating new looks and images. Massive thanks so much again, I am  so grateful and appreciate everything you shared with us."
