Matt Clements - Assembly Hair
Colour Technician of the Year Finalist
The cuts are amazing, but they take a backseat to the purely stunning hair color palette of Matt Clemens. Pushed to their limits, the reds and blondes are alive with full luminosity and impressive vibrancy from every pigment.
The contrasts are gentle, yet they play with the light in an almost surreal way, breaking the rays into reflections of breathtaking intensity. It’s the kind of strength in color that lingers even when you close your eyes.
Marbled Silk
The deep, blunt cut fringe is the ideal canvas for streaks of warm cherry red against a raven-colored base. The distribution of the effects creates a marbled effect that offers a stunning reflection of light.
The same streaks continue on the silky, long sides, which feature just a few layers and a mix of bluntness and texture to add tangible silkiness and motion.
Crinkled Fire
Tight but wide crinkles weave their serpentine magic on this redhead. The fluffy texture, with its intricate and exotic movement, is overlaid by transitions of red that appear as random as the light of a southern sunset beneath ever-changing clouds. Dark and lighter hues alternate in a pattern that highlights the modern ingenuity of the colorist.
Colored Out Loud
A neo-punk style with geometric visions captured in a variation of texture reveals its soul through the hair color. From the graduated and uplifted neck section to the narrow crest and extravagant bangs, the hair shimmers in a warm papaya red.
The richness of this hue is emphasized by the metallic and bold strike of copper-colored highlights, which illuminate the sides.
Purple A GoGo
Simple, supple, and dipped in an iridescent orchid tone—daring elegance in one round cut. Matt Clemens adds glam to a classic with a familiar mushroom cut executed with laser-like precision. The cut gleams in its full glory with shine and a deep, warm plum tone, intensified by subtle streaks of a slightly lighter hue.
Avant-Glam Exposed
This incredible creation is more than a haircut with contrasting color effects; it has a philosophy. It makes a statement by contrasting short and long, a smooth surface and a very short, furry underneath.
Like opening the petals of a flower, a natural brown tone peeks through the purple and black artistry of the top layers.
Precious Metal
Buckle up—this look comes with high speed. The aerodynamic cut will sweep fashionistas off their feet, and the bright blonde hair color creates lightning wherever it goes.
Pushing gold to its shiny limits, Matt Clemens uses darker strands in iridescent pink and copper to add structure and dynamism to the short, rounded cut with cute flips on the side.
