LIVE from Redken Symposium 2011 - Tylösand

All of us at MIKAs Koivisto/Karlsson went on a road trip yesterday evening from Stockholm through a beautiful Swedish scenery with beautiful open landscapes accompanied by an amazing late spring/early summer sunset - our goal was Tylösand Hotel and Redken's event "REDKEN Symposium 2011".
Enjoying the sunset at the shore of Vättern, Gränna.

We arrived late last night here in Tylösand and after a quick night cap at Leif's Lounge here at the hotel we had an early morning to enjoy a breakfast together and then go to the first show to kick start the weekend.

George Garcia (USA) together with Tracey Hughes (Australia), two of Redkens most sought after artists, performed a show/demo to inspire and teach us some of the latest coloring and cutting techniques. Very cool show with some great ideas that we can bring back to our salon! Thank you guys! Our own assistant at MIKAs Koivisto/Karlsson, Gisella Jansson was helping out backstage.

After a one and a half hour inspiring hair show it was time for a lecture about "Digital Communication, Extreme Customer Service" from Göran Adlén who has mind and voice that keeps you listening on the edge of your seat for an hour. Very inspiring!




More to follow!

Diesel - Hair by André Cueto-Saavedra

gutsvasteras.se

"J'adore Redken"

"Inspiration till stylingen var från början Diesels vising i New York fast mer kommersiell, håret får inte stjäla all uppmärksamhet från kläderna. Ledorden är 'djupa och markanta sidbenor, pojkflickigt och androgynt'. Även på killarna är det snedbenan som är och kommer att förbli det absolut hetaste en tid framöver. Till styling använde vi oss av Redkens Woolshake, Work hard och Forceful för att skapa tajtheten runt ansiktet och texturen på längderna."
