Hairapalooza Vancouver

Hairapalooza was Matty's first platform gig since joining Schwarzkopf's Essential Looks Artistic team. Here are a few snapshots from his big night.

" Model prep starts around noon on the day of the show.There are two of us responsible for styling and finishing 18 girls as well as putting together choreography for the show."


" Each model is selected to represent a specific trend direction from the seasonal collection. This one was for PUNK GODDESS"

"This shot was taken about 2 minutes before showtime. I was trying to not look nervous... I think it worked?"


"Once the show starts we pick models on stage to style up for the crowd of approx 600 hairdressers"


"I learned very quickly that stage work is a lot about improvisation.... and wishing you had more hands"

" You have only 8 minutes to style the models hair into something that looks amazing and has what the bosses call Wow Factor"

" What does you hair look like after 8 minutes of styling?"

"This was just a little trick I like to do. Basically you sew the updo together, it gives the hair a loose unintentional look... You can't tell from this picture but they all seemed pretty impressed."


"The key to a great stage show is music, lighting, and lots and lots of hairspray...next stop Calgary."
