Totem by Emiliano Vitale
Inspired by warriors of the past brought forth to the present, the Totem collection by Emiliano Vitale portrays a raw, male sensuality. The hair inspires an individual direction and strength, yet also showcases the underlying influence of classic 1950s men’s styles.

Earthly Elements
Christophe Gaillet, artistic director of Haute Coiffure Francaise and a Coiffeur Ambassadeur for L’Oréal Professionnel, calls his latest collection Dimensions. The dream-like and fantastical styles represent four elements of nature: Wind—Vent, Cloud—Nuage, Fire— Flamme and Waterfall—Cascade. The shape of the cut and the artful use of color leave no doubt which style represents which element.
Concrete Rose
In a collection that celebrates beauty and strength—like a rose growing through concrete— the L’Anza creative team uses precise cutting and a combination of bold and subtle color in this newest trend. Concrete Rose was created by L’Anza creative talents, 2010 NAHA Master Stylist winners Oscar and Wendy Bond, and Matt Swinney. Each look reflects the bloom of inner beauty.
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.
