7 Hairdressers
That Took 2021 by Storm

Throughout the year we have shed light on countless trends, styles and salons – so it’s about time we took a look behind the chair. This month, we’re putting the spotlight on the colourists and stylists who have made 2021 their year. These 7 individuals are some of the best hairdressers in their field right now, creating extraordinary works of art that serve as inspiration to the Procare team, day in and day out.

1. Alessandro
Barca

Alessandro has had a year like no other. As TONI&GUY’s Senior Stylist in Canary Wharf, he has taken the hairdressing world by storm with his tight curls, patterned buzzes and sharp bobs, styled on men and women alike. And the effort hasn’t gone unnoticed – Alessandro is a finalist at both the British Hairdressing Awards 2021 and The Big One (for Best Newcomer). He won Top 5 at the #ONESHOT Awards for his ‘AUTHENTIC’ collection and is on Creative HEAD Magazine’s Most Wanted list for 2021. We can’t wait to see his newest collection, ‘DUALISM’ come to life soon – no doubt it will reap similar rewards.

2. Jaymz
Marsters

Instagram sensation, educator, and owner of The Watt in Norfolk; Jaymz has become the absolute go-to person when it comes to colour work. His strategic colour placements, time-saving tricks and pigment hacks have led to him opening his own online academy, offering up exclusive guides, classes, and live streams. Using Procare’s 24*7 dispenser, Jaymz has truly ‘marstered’ his craft, celebrating all of 2021’s top hair colour trends with his work.

You can find him at Biba Gertrude Street in Victoria.
