Above Ground is about challenging yourself and challenging the world on all levels. Defying the laws of gravity/ the perception of beauty and art through shape/colour and freedom of expression. Never surrender yourself to what society tells us what we should be like/look like but embrace our uniqueness.

Leading trichologist, Mark Blake, says this pandemic has had a major impact on hair loss and while there is no scientific evidence of a direct link, an increasing number of people who are recovering from COVID-19 are reporting hair loss as a side effect of the illness.
Christophe Gaillet is constantly inspired by his work and has interpreted several hairstyles to enhance the natural beauty of every woman whose hair he has had the pleasure of styling. “Backstage” is devoted to long, wavy, straight hair and up-does.
'Less is more' has never been more relevant. This past year, everyone has had to learn to live with less and learn how to do more. When we emerge from Lockdown 3.0, 'value at the chair' is what will keep stylists significant and sharing how guests can style hair faster and easier wins them over every time.
The power of nature is what inspires this collection. A power that allows us to be free, never judges, accepts us as we are and leaves us freedom to live and feel. The power of Mother Earth - the sun, the clouds and the sea - their textures lead us to reflect and increase the power of femininity.
