Stylists are artists. You use your tools and imagination to create beauty behind the chair every day. At the holidays, your guests are likely to let you take your creativity to new limits. They are dressing up and are ready to do more fun things with their hair.

To honor this creative burst and all the hard work you do during this busiest of seasons, the Paul Mitchell Artistic Team created a special holiday collection titled “Art of Style,” complementing a  series of nine special, artist-inspired holiday gift sets to fit the full range of client needs.

“These looks were taken from the runway and teamed with classic techniques,” says Lucie  Doughty, editorial director for Paul Mitchell. “They are whimsical, fit well with our holiday theme  and are right in line with what Paul Mitchell is— fun and fresh.”

Doughty encourages stylists to expand their own artistry this season—to amp up styles with specific products and tools, then send the guest home with the right gift set or custom assortment to support and recreate the look.

Doughty says the team purposefully chose a unique palette for the models. “It is far from your typical holiday colors,” she says. “We want to help you keep things merry and bright!”
