"We find true beauty in diversity and individuality," Hoffman says. "We find it in awesome hair and the people wearing it on the streets of the world's fashion capitals. After all, it's on the streets where trends are born and individuals make them their own. Then we turn that into daily fresh inspiration with new cutting, styling and color techniques delivered straight to salons via all of their digital devices."
Ilham Mestour, Keune global creative art director and StreetSalon editor-in-chief, and Marriet Gakes, celebrity colorist and Keune global color innovation master, work with the Keune artistic and education teams to curate the StreetSalon looks and craft meaningful tutorials.
