After crimping the front and back hairline,
Barbara Lhotan secured both side panels
with a hairpin in the back of the head. “Then,
I created a four-strand braid, which is flipped
up and back to the center of the head.”
Lhotan finished by taking the nape hair and
directing up and forward to the top of the
head. “Artist Session allows me total freedom
to create what I want on a great model. It’s a
wonderful workshop,” says Lhotan who has
taken the workshop five times.

“While fitting the profile of corporate
America, a woman can still maintain
absolute femininity,” says Jen Dozier
Horter of the Bombshell Salon in Ellicott
City, Maryland. Horter and fellow artist
Tina Harrell knew that the look needed a
small iron, zig-zag partings and patience.
“This is a time-consuming look,” says
Horter, “but this is one way for a woman to
take the lead and allow her fiery red curls
to demand attention and grant entry in to
the ‘Boys’ Club.’” Hair: Jen Dozier Horter and Tina Harrell

“This season I am inspired by the feminine glamour of the 1940s,”
says Lisa DeMaria of Dobbs Ferry, New York. To create this look
DeMaria divided the hair in a top and bottom half. The top half
was set in pin curls in a variety of sizes while medium-sized
bendy rods in medium sections were used along the bottom.
“This results in a more natural and interesting wave,” she says.
“This is a great look for a client, and also fun to create.”

Michael Gregg of Heaven The Salon Experience in
Winchester, Virginia, created a look that demanded attention.
It was the most voluminous look ever seen at Artist Session.
Gregg fi rst created a track braid placed in a directional
pattern around the head to create a base foundation. Humanhair
pieces were set on hair pins, which were then secured
to the braid. To dress out the set, Gregg used a fi rm fi nishing
spray and webbing technique to create the texture.

To create this twisted finish,
Michael Gregg first created a rope
ponytail foundation. An extreme
texture wax was applied to the
prepared braids for additional
polish. Hairpins were used to
connect each braid which were
wrapped either horizontally,
diagonally or vertically, depending
on weight and balance. “This
is a great shape,” he says. “It’s
definitely editorial, and really
makes a statement.”
