Our “So You Think You Can Style?” #OnFleek Men’s Styling photo contest winner is Jamie Potts, from Hair by David & CO. in Toronto’s fashion district. His colouring and expertly executed skin fade make this look edgy and wearable.
Potts used a cocktail of products to create his look: “I created the look by lightening and toning the hair with Schwarzkopf Professional lightener and color. I cut in a skin fade using my favourite Andis BCRG clippers and outlined with a straight blade. I also used the razor to cut a line following the curve of the head, and continued it into the brow. I styled using Kevin.Murphy Killer.Curls and used a Twists Sponge to create more texture and movement.”
On his inspiration: “I was inspired to do the shoot because I feel there is a lack of multiculturalism and diversity in mainstream mens hair styling.”
On entering a photo contest: “I entered the contest because I felt it was a great way to get my work published. Not only for exposure but to share the work that I love with as many people as possible.”
On entering competitions: “I love my job and feel so lucky to work in an industry that is always evolving. I would encourage younger stylists to participate in photo shoots and compete because it is a great creative outlet and a chance to do things you cant always do in the salon. It is very motivating and keeps me inspired and fresh behind my chair.”
