[salon]718 takes 1st place in ICA Nouveau Contest

[salon]718 proudly placed two finalists in the Intercoiffure Nouveau Contest: Level 1 Stylists, Sasay and Sarah. The contestants presented on stage at the Fall Atelier, with Sarah – Level 1 Stylist at [salon]718 taking first place.

Finalist, Sasay conveyed her colorful orange, heart-shaped style was inspired by the Lion King and Mufasa’s mane. “It made me want to do something really fiery and and beautiful”.

First place winner, Sarah said she was inspired by her model who wanted to experiment with color and “go big”. “It’s a big part of our job is to connect with those with we are working with, being whether it’s our vision or theirs.”

[salon]718 is so proud of our emerging talent taking the stage at the Fall Intercoiffure Atelier.  Sasay and Sarah both Level 1 Stylists, are open for bookings now!  Book today to experience their artistry.
