All about Eve - the hairshow




Renowned hair stylists and beauticians got together last Monday for a training session and hair show at a reputed hotel.

The event, organised by the Pakistan Hair and Beauty Association, also saw the launch of a brand of hair care products.
The event was hosted by stylists Angie Marshall and Rehana Iqbal with beauticians and hairstylists including the likes of Anne Patrick, Shaheen Rahim, Salman, Ruth Paul and Peng Qureshi.

The stylists demonstrated their specialties in different haircuts and hair colours that would suit the cuts. Models were dressed up backstage with costumes by Rizwan Muazzam, chosen to complement the haircuts they were about to get.


“It was different from other events and it was nice to see different salons and beauticians getting together under one roof,” said Angie.

Salman, younger brother of stylist Saquib, showed how one haircut could be slightly adjusted to suit different occasions. From cut to curls and blow-drying to clipping it up, the demonstration was quite impressive.
Following the cutting, hair was subjected to colour that would not only match the hairstyle but also the current Pakistani trend and the weather conditions.

Peng Qureshi, meanwhile, cut and blow dried her model’s hair dead straight and experimented with blonde colour with traces of mahogany, dying hair in the shape of a diamond. Other stylists experimented with different temporary colour combinations to demonstrate the different options people have for particular cuts.


All in all, it was a colourful and entertaining event organised by Silky Coloration that enlightened amateur stylists and enthusiasts alike.
