Haute ’80s

To celebrate its recent 50th anniversary, the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) put on an incredible runway show that paid homage to the past five decades in fashion. Oribe had the honor of creating hair looks to represent each era, and he and his team worked backstage to give each model a distinctive look. The ’80s-inspired style they created was the perfect mix of runway and reality. Here’s how to do it: Begin by spraying Oribe Maximista before blow drying hair, then setting hair in large rollers. Clip up the top section of hair and part the back of the hair in the center. Finally, create two very tight and clean French twists and pin in place, leaving a seam in the middle. Use Oribe Impermeable to set. Let the remaining hair from the twists stay loose and tightly curl it in a forward direction. Once the curls have set, brush them out at the roots and tease for lift. Spray with Oribe Dry to create texture and hold then pin the curls on the top of the head and slightly to the left. Let some loose curls fall naturally over the forehead. Set the style with Impermeable. Now, meet Oribe’s new campaign star Sandy Poirer!

In most salons, haircolor lives in the closet. Most salons perform your consultation, excuse themselves and dash to the dispensary, where they then mix up their clients color formula—in private.

Claude Thomas, being a forward-thinking salon, private has gone public in the form of open, inviting Color Bar. Our Color Bar is a more relaxed atmosphere, creates better client relationships and incremental color experience. “I believe coloring is a form of art and shouldn’t be hidden away in a closet,” Claudia says “I want our clients to experience this art form and get involved. By exposing color with a Color Bar, my stylists can interact with our clients, answer questions and allow them to experience the entire process of coloring.
