Smoke & Mirrors: Vol. 1

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN COMPLETE OPPOSITES MEET?

For Joico's 2011 trend collection, Joico International Artistic Directors Damien Carney and Sue Pemberton sought to answer this question through the Art of Healthy Hair.

THE OUTCOME? SMOKE AND MIRRORS, AN UNLIKELY YET COMPLETELY HARMONIOUS MELANGE OF CONTRASTING DESIGN ELEMENTS.



For the haircuts, Carney used various combinations of the principles from the J-Cutting System (lines, layers, and graduation) to craft simple, modern, easily adaptable ready-to-wear shapes complemented by fresh, easy finishes. Although individual cuts feature different lengths, elements of lightness and density, and both soft and hard lines, the overall effect is one that, at first glance looks accidental, but is, upon closer inspection, an artfully executed study in balance, silhouette, and contour.

For the color, Pemberton applied a yin and yang of light and dark Vero K-PAK Color shades in opposing directions using various foiling techniques (both single and back-to-back slicing and weaving), resulting in colorscapes that may appear random, but are in actuality very methodical masterpieces of color design. Light and dark colors gradually and seamlessly shift from front to back and left to right, making each color technique as perfect for the main stage as it is for the salon.
