We ask the MODERN SALON Jan 2011 contributors: "What do you think will be the
hot salon trend in 2011?"
"I think texture is going to continue to be big. I
have seen more and more clients request styles that
highlight their natural texture as opposed to the
stick-straight styles of the past." -Derek J
Derek J, celebrity hairdresser and platform
artist for Belson Products, owns
The J Spot Salon in Atlanta, Georgia.
Although he says he is best known for
cutting and weaving, he's also known
for his appearances on various reality
shows. The Toledo, Ohio-native
has seen his work grace the covers of
many nationally published magazines,
and at the same time, he witnessed his
trendsetting hair styles on the small
screen. In addition to his work on the
Real Housewives of Atlanta, he has
appeared in the Chris Rock film Good
Hair, America's Next Top Model, My
Fair Wedding and others. He was an
invited competitor in the exclusive
Bronner Brothers Hair Battle Royale,
and took home the $20,000 prize on
BET's Tears, Shears, and Beauty. See
his work on the cover and here.

"Styles that are more free and casual
compared to last year's super-neat precision
cuts. This will allow the new trends to show
more individual personality while still
looking instantly fashionable." -Jennifer Bokshon
Jennifer Bokshon of the Stefano Savoca Salon in Lyndhurst,
Ohio, was a true star at her first photo shoot at MODERN
SALON's Artist Session. "Artist Session was the most
inspirational experience of my professional career to date,"
she says. Bokshon masterfully created multiple textures on her
model's hair using every tool, product and trick in the book.
When asked about her goal as a stylist, Bokshon says it "is
to create fresh and fashionable styles without compromising
beauty as well as being able to inspire people to want to be their
best in everything they do." See her looks here.

"I see two trends
emerging: First, short, Mia
Farrow-style hair cuts will
make a strong comeback,
as this look will provide a
contrast to the loose,
unstructured short cuts
that are currently popular.
As for long hair, there will
be movement away from
the rockabilly look, and
more emphasis placed on a
softer style, with hair flat
at the crown and light,
organized waves from
mid-length to end." -David Bamford
Kevin.Murphy session stylist David Bamford, an Australian native, was a
stylist for Vogue Nationale. He has worked with high-profile clients such
as the late Farrah Fawcett, Reem Acra, Oscar de la Renta, Iman, President
Bush and Muhammad Ali. Today he has his own venture in Houston,
Texas-Therapy Hair Studio, which has been featured in InStyle, Allure,
and Vogue to name a few. See his styles in "Braidelvise here.
Nioka
"My hair forecast for 2011 is an array of
bold, vibrant colors intertwined with
futuristic cuts." -Nioka B
Always harboring a passion for hair and fashion, Nioka B has
nurtured her skills and talent as a hair stylist over the years
through drive and dedication, and several visits to Artist Session.
"I have been designing and reinventing hair at Flawless
Hair Salon, in Hampton, Virginia for seven years," she says. "My
goal is to have more
editorial work published
and eventually
work on the sets of
television and film. I
would like to culminate
my career by
teaching artists and
arming them with
the skills and knowledge
needed to be a
competitive stylist in
this industry." See her
styles from MODERN
SALON's Artist Session here.
