A special prize was also donated by hairdresser Jamie Stevens, which was to spend the day with him, and was presented to Jack Williams from Clipso Watford in recognition for his enthusiasm and energy in the 1^st Year category.

Russell McGrath, Operations Director at Clipso, commented, “This annual competition has been a huge success as always and it’s so essential to have it each year, especially so as it was the first awards event without Clipso creator, Terry Calvert. We were all so proud to see Terry’s legacy continuing through our younger team members and their dedication to the future of hairdressing and the Clipso group coming stronger than ever. I want to say a big thank you to everyone who helped with this event and a special thank you to our judges, they were fantastic. Each salon director is really pushing their salon team forward and the future is looking exciting for Clipso.”

Clipso Stylists Shine at Salon International 2011

Clipso Salons — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 10:14:20 +0100

Over the weekend of Salon International, Clipso stylists from across the six salons were in full attendance and leading the way for the salon group. Over the weekend of the 15^th-17^th of October, stylists from the Clipso salon group were on different stands working with hair manufacturers, involved in stage work, presenting in shows, and even finalists in The Fellowship Club Star competition.

Kim Rance, Harriette Calvert and Emilie Pearson Brown, all from Clipso Watford, spent the whole weekend assisting on stands. Kim spent her three days working on the popular Awesome Feather Hair Extension stand, which involved promoting the new ‘big hair’ trend, not to mention applying hundreds of feather hair extensions over the three day period. Harriette Calvert worked on the Babyliss Pro stage and demonstrated how to get the best out of styling tools, as well as creating gorgeous looks on models and presenting on stage. Emile Pearson Brown was assisting on the Moroccan Oil stand and demonstrated how to use the products as well as answering questions and giving advice.

Jack Lawrence and Freya Haines from Clipso London and Kim Rance from Clipso Watford kicked off Saturday morning on the Hairdressers Journal stage. They had a 40 minute slot to demonstrate their hair styling and compering skills in front of a large audience. On the Sunday, the stylists were busy on The Fellowship stage. Serafina Woodward from Clipso Hemel Hempstead started the day by showing off her two stunning models in the Fellowship Shooting Stars show, before Emilie Pearson Brown took to the stage with the Fellowship Project X team, where she talked through the look she had created with her model. Finally Kim Rance demonstrated her long haired model in the Fellowship Long Hair show later on in the day.

On the final day of Salon International, Serafina Woodward was back on stage but this time on the Hairdressers Journal stage presenting with the NHF Inspire team. In the afternoon Georgina Calvert and Anna Usher from Clipso Watford were both finalists in the Fellowship Clubstar competition. Lindsay Calvert awarded the prizes to the three winners as a tribute to her late husband, Terry Calvert, where the award had been renamed in remembrance of him.

Clipso Stylists at LFW

Clipso Salons — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 15:34:54 +0100

The Clipso team have been very busy over the weekend styling hair for various LFW Shows, including Bernard Chandran and Henry Holland.

Artistic Consultant Kim Rance and Harriet Calvert at Clipso Watford styled the hair for Henry Hollands LFW Show with Adam Reed and Babybliss Pro.

"I've always loved working with Adam, no matter how much pressure he is under he always finds time to educate you and make you feel part of the team. This was the 2nd time I've done fashion week with Adam and Babybliss Pro. Not only was I excited to work with them again but for the Henry Holland show as I've always been so interested in his clothes. I couldn't wait to see what the models were going to be wearing and I was not disappointed. There were cool school like shirt dresses with a retro edge, snake skin collars and gold padlocked belts - I wish I could have worn them myself. To match these cute outfits were beret clips that Adam had spray painted to a rose gold colour to match the heel of the shoes. They were placed at the crown and at the nape of the neck to give a slick glossy young two pony tail look. We used Babybliss Pro irons to smooth out any kinks or curls, we did this quickly as the irons heated and we glided them through the hair. The whole experience was brilliant and it was so amazing to do the hair for Henry Holland!" explains Kim Rance.

Clipso St Albans owner Simon Cox has teamed up with award winning Scottish hairdresser Charlie Miller and the Teenage Cancer Trust to style wigs for young female cancer sufferers.

Charlie Miller recently visited the St Albans salon, where he spent the day demonstrating how wigs can be altered and styled to give young patients a natural looking style. The salon now provides a complimentary wig cutting service for 13-24 year old cancer patients which will run along side the adult service which the salon already provides.

I think it’s great that we can offer this free service at the salon, the thought of losing your hair is tough enough to deal with at any age but especially when you’re a teenage girl. I’m so pleased that I can offer this service to young people suffering from this terrible illness,” say owner Simon Cox.

Project X has been described as “the ultimate hairdressing finishing school” and it attracts a broad and experienced caliber of hairdressers from salons who are members of the Fellowship. Courses are backed and taught by amazing names in the hair world including Sassoon’s International Creative Director Mark Hayes and TV favourite, Lee Stafford.

“I’m ever so exited about this wonderful opportunity, it could really fast track my career, and I’ll get to meet some truly inspiring icons as well as sharing my expertise and experiences with the Project X team. I would like to thank my former boss Terry Calvert for motivating me and making these opportunities possible for me” says Emilie Pearson-Brown.

Clipso Watford Sponsor Swimsuits for Charity Swimming Challenge

Clipso Salons — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 14:40:44 +0100

The Clipso salon in Watford is showing their community spirit by sponsoring a team of female swimmers as they train for a challenging feat to swim a two way crossing of the English Channel departing from Dover in July, a total of 22 miles.

This task is all in aid of two charities close to the hearts of two of the girls taking part. Kirsty, Rebecca, Mandy, Rebecca, Hannah, Carolyn and Tillie are all raising money for Malaria No More UK (a new charity set up to help prevent and support Malaria sufferers, saving hundreds of lives each year) and The Hope Foundation a charity which supports street children in Calcutta, India.

All six competitors and Carolyn (Reserve) have undergone a gruelling training programme including a 2 hour non-stop qualifying swim off the coast of Dover. The team have also been preparing themselves for the cold temperatures in the sea, by bathing themselves in ice!

The team have achieved tremendous support locally, alongside Clipso’s swimsuit donation; companies such as Zoggs, Europa Quality Print and Cherry Active have been involved too. The charity campaign has also seen the team receive a 'shout out' on Radio One recently.

“We heard about this great fundraising event as one of the team has been visiting Clipso with her parents since she was a child and we’re always keen to show our support locally. We wish them the best of luck next month,” explains Russell McGrath, Clipso salon manager.
