Geometric + Volume
Robin Barker, owner of Hair’Sociates in Toronto, showcases Spring 2011 styles here. The looks are a new take on a geometric cut, a super beehive and a bouffant flip. Tapping into his other creative talents, singing and song writing, Barker recently released a CD to benefit the Stephen Lewis Foundation, which supports children affected by AIDS in East Africa. As if that weren’t enough talent, Barker is also the photographer who captured this collection. His salon colleague Victoria Klimova created the make-up.
