Andrea Beers
Midlands Hairdresser of the Year Finalist Collection
Andrea Beers puts the 3 "S"s back in hair fashion: sultry, sophisticated, and seductive. Her winning collection emphasizes these qualities with haircuts ranging from short to long and in a spectrum of basic yet intense hair colors.
Inspired by fashions from the late '60s and '70s, Beers reinvents the big lines, big hair, and big crowns. Whether teased for volume or styled sleek, her creations celebrate iconic fashion and femininity. Curvy shapes and sculpted bangs are part of this visual feast, along with overwhelming curls and flamboyant flips.
Upward Flip
Pure elegance for a grand appearance is the result of an extraordinarily short haircut and passionate styling. While the back remains close to the neck, the sides and front are treated to a luscious upward flip.
The deep side part adds sophisticated asymmetry, and the extra lift at the roots, especially on the crown, takes the volume to new heights. The smoky dark brown hair color has a few interspersed red effects, giving it an avant-garde touch.
Short Blonde Hairstyle
This short, sleek, and curved hairstyle has epitomized a sci-fi look for decades. A new twist is added with the overlapping partition on the low right side and the elegant swing along the left eyebrow.
Clare is wearing a warm shade of platinum blonde that complements her skin tone and highlights the sculptural nature of her hairstyle.
Playful Updo
With this playful updo, she'll definitely get a lot of attention due to its chic volume and, most of all, the beautiful long diagonal fringe that ends in a perfectly shaped semi-circle at about chin length.
The attraction of the hairstyle lies in its sheer femininity and the elegance that comes with the elaborate styling. The high crest is a must for vintage-flavored looks.
Gigantic Curls
Watch out, the vamp is back! This long, high-volume hairstyle with huge waves and gigantic curls puts a capital V into Vavavoom and speaks for itself. It evokes images of Brigitte Bardot, Anita Ekberg, and other screen goddesses who dared to be sexy and didn't hold anything back.
Sculpted Look
Instead of drawing too much inspiration from "Clockwork Orange," Sam is on a mission with short hair fashion. Sculpted hairstyles like this require precise cutting and styling with a vision.
The silhouette would form a perfect oval if not for the necessary cut-out for the face. This is framed in beautiful geometry, hiding and revealing just enough to create a look of memorable artistry.
Lift in the Back
This woman knows what she wants and isn’t too shy to take it. The high hair vibrates with sultry determination and style. Modern styling and great new products allow the airy volume and lift in the back without making the hair inflexible.
A diagonal fringe ending in a little teaser curl perfects the look, as does the warm coppery red.
Pulled Back
Forgo the partition and pull the hair back from the forehead. This approach is key to achieving the high top volume and sophisticated yet super-sexy appeal of this long blonde hair.
The strongly textured ends balance the density and heaviness of the top and have a slimming effect on the look. This hairstyle is perfect for modern, urban lionesses on the prowl or just for fun.
Hair Up with a Bump
A great hairstyle is like a perfect pair of shoes. This semi-updo would be the elegant, glamorous pump taking a whole outfit to a new level of fashion. The exaggerated bump on the crest is offset by an extra-long, asymmetrical fringe with playfully curled tips. Highlights and lowlights in sandy blonde add tremendous motion and depth.
