News & Inspiration

Synopsis:
Shattered Optics is a collection of wearable bespoke hairstyles designed to elevate commercial trends. Strong shapes and lines have been corrupted with extreme texturizing. A diverse pallet of warm and cool reds and earthy tones creates a base of block colours, disrupted with conflicting panels and flashes to highlight and frame focal points.

Welcome to 2024 and our New Year news! We have a strong feeling that this is going to be a powerful and positive year. Not only do we celebrate our 10th anniversary later in the year we’re kick-starting it with our new salon partner – Davines. 

The team spent months researching various salon brands and Davines is a company that aligns with our values and vision. Sustainable and stylish, Davines is a B corp brand with the determination to do good for each other and the planet. We visited their carbon-neutral headquarters in Parma, Italy where they grow plants, fruit trees and vegetables for their research and development laboratories to test and experiment with different samples of natural ingredients.

We’ve undergone intensive training and can’t wait to share our knowledge with you. For all colour clients, please note that a new skin sensitivity test came into place on November 16th 2023. If you haven’t taken this test yet, please ensure you pick one up from the salon at least 48 hours before your next colour appointment. And trust us when we say,  the colour performance is unrivalled. We know you will love this brand as much as we do. That’s all for our New Year news this year, we will catch you in 12 months! And don’t forget, you can contact the teams at our hair salon in Fitzrovia and Esher salon for more information!

Synopsis
Introducing “Hardcore Happiness”. I took inspiration from the 90s rave culture, with the energy of a street-style photographic story.  Colour is inspired by the effects of club light and lasers hitting the hair – bold panels and shine bands all wrapped up with a rooted DIY attitude.

This afternoon Sam added a new hairdressing award to the HARE & BONE portfolio. He won Snapshot Image of the Year at the Fellowship for British Hairdressing Awards. Held in The Londoner Hotel, Sam was surrounded by industry peers, friends and colleagues as he was announced the 2024 winner!

Synopsis:
This collection explores the idea of bi-levels in the hair. To showcase the personality and individuality of each look and model, the hair has been created with a tiered structure in colour and shape. The combination of strong carved sections with soft details sets this collection alight.

As fashion week wrapped up, the HARE & BONE Art Team were invited to Chicago to present 10 looks at a global hair conference. Sam, Jamie and Amelia created ‘Harecore Happiness’, which was then showcased to over 25,000 people. Taking inspiration from the European club scene, the team produced a catwalk show during the three-day international hairdressing event, before flying back to celebrate our Esher salon’s fifth birthday.

“The team and I had an incredible experience delivering our latest collection ‘Harecore Happiness’ in Chicago. The concept of the show was inspired by the underground rave scene of the 90s and currently spreading across Europe. We looked to Berlin for inspiration and incorporated a slight goth tone to the collection. We opened the catwalk show with a feeling of oppression and conforming, staged to look like models queueing outside Berghain. The colours we used on the hair were deep and oily but then we pulled the wigs off on stage to showcase strong, textured 00s-inspired cuts The show was all about self-expression, and the colour work was inspired by lights and lasers of a club, representing that sense of release you feel when lost in music.”
