Schwarzkopf Essential Looks: Modern Icon – Beat Icon

Share

Bridging the gap between the fashion catwalk and high street, Schwarzkopf’s Essential Looks inspires hairdressers and salon clients each season, with directional catwalk trends translated into wearable salon looks.

This spring/summer, Essential Looks captures the mood of the moment, fusing together dynamic inspiration from music, art, politics, history, fashion and culture to create distinct trends that provide hairdressers with a fresh vision for 2017.

Beat Icon

From the eternal fascination of icons in the early 60s, spanning James Dean swagger to Andy Warhol and Velvet Underground cool, Beat Icon is reminiscent of the looks that defined a generation. With precision-cut hair and clean lean lines, ‘Beat Icons’ wear pixie boots, pant suits, cropped trousers and mono stripes, rocking modern gamine androgyny and urban cool. The look is perfect imperfection, it’s honest, it’s authentic, and delivers modern, effortless, beauty.

Colour Direction

Any shade as long as it’s blonde! BEAT ICON utilises the BLONDME colour palette for maximum colour customisation. A modern-take on 90s ‘grown-out bleach’ sees ‘smudged roots’ as the must-have look for the urban style icon.

Styling Direction

For male and female trend aficionados, BEAT ICON takes precision cutting and clean lines to the next level. To complete the iconic look, hair is given weightless texture and a polished finish with a combination of OSiS+ Session Label Super Dry Flex and Powder Cloud.
