st kilda hairdressers yoshiko hair head back into the studio.

Yoshiko Hair have created over 10 cut and colour collections for International Hair Product Companies, showcased across Australia. The team has returned to the studio for some more hair fun.

Creativity is central to the existence of Yoshiko Hair, from our inception. Leaded by Creative Director Dani Blakeley, the tight team at Yoshiko have worked on more than 30 shoots for the salon. Dani before forming Yoshiko had worked on international advertising campaigns and dozen of shoots. Dani shared their the creative process with Hass on our latest shoot. Hass having being part of the Shu Uemura Creative Team last year brought with him a wealth of experience to the shoot. Having perviously worked on Hollywood Block Buster movies.

The team at Yoshiko again got to collaborate with Melbourne fashion photographer Peter Rosetzky. Yoshiko and Peter are natural mix. With both parties in believing in keeping it real with very little digital interference. The hairstyle you see in our images is a true representation of the haircut on the model.

At Yoshiko Hair we are about keeping it real. Be it an International Magazine Cover or a client walking out of the door at Yoshiko. We are about beautiful hair.

yoshiko busy on stage at hair expo

Yoshiko Hair had a busy weekend at Hair Expo on the weekend. Both Artistic Director Dani Blakeley and our apprentice Caroline graced the stage at Hair Expo.

Caroline who was a finalist in Hair Expo Apprentice of the Year, took to the stage for first time. On Saturday she  did the salon proud as she recreated one of the looks from her award winning collection. With Dani comparing, Caroline captivated the audience. Caroline undertook a second show on the Sunday with the other finalist in Apprentice of the Year, in front of a capacity crowd.

Dani used her vast experience of years of stage work, to compare the main stage at Hair Expo, on the Monday. She did this on behalf of the Australian Hairdressing Council, which Yoshiko Hair is a member.

Monday was the long awaited awards night, where unfortunately Caroline missed out being judged the Apprentice of the Year. Still to be one of six finalist (all from top salons) across Australia, where there are over 7000  hairdressing apprentices is a major achievement. We shall look forward to seeing Caroline on stage in the future, with many opportunities coming her way.

Well done to all the finalist. We are looking forward to when Hair Expo next year comes to Melbourne, where Yoshiko shall will have even a bigger role to play.
