CRAZY colours inspired hairdressers and barbers for the first live demonstration of its kind.

Paragon Skills invited hairdressing and barbering professionals, including those just starting out in the industry, to a performance presented by Steve Turner and Paul Phillips.

The first-of-its-kind event was hosted at the Marriott Hotel, West Cliff, Bournemouth and was well attended by local employers.

Guests were treated to a live show by Steve and Paul, where they showcased online learning resources.

Haircuts were taken directly off the site which included the five point Vidal Sassoon cut, the classic 1920s bob with a twist and a variety of disconnected square cuts.

The colours used were inspired by ‘crazy colours’, which enhanced the classic cuts giving them an ‘on-trend edge’.

Daniel O’Keefe, managing director for Paragon Skills, said: “It’s a privilege for myhairdressers.com to choose Paragon and Dorset for its first live demonstration in the UK, building on the global success.

“I was impressed to see so many salons attend the event with students travelling from as far away as Surrey and everyone came away wanting to watch some online content to further their skills.”

Alison Graham, operations manager for the Paragon hairdressing and barbering division, added: “The whole event was extremely inspiring and was a perfect platform to showcase our growing relationship with MHD and the standard of delivery that Paragon Skills has to offer.”

“To work with them as we introduce live training to demonstrate the correct way to use the myhairdressers product portfolio was the next logical step, and we couldn't have made this event so successful without their commitment and enthusiasm.”
