“All of us in the haircare industry in Australia need to truly embrace eco-friendly and ethical products as they’re the best for the environment and contain only plant-based ingredients so they’re gentle on the hair and scalp as well as the planet," said Kal Roberston-Kirkwood, co-owner of RobertsonKirkwood salon.

The RobertsonKirkwood team appeared on centre stage at Hair Expo Australia 2010, launching Aveda’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection.

They impressed their audience  of over 200 hairdressers with exquisite cuts, colours and styles in a professional and sleek show featuring 11 stunning models, all created using Aveda products and colours.

"There’s nothing better than working with Aveda’s all-natural eco-friendly products as you know you’re not stripping the hair or the world’s resources. Its the best of both worlds – amazing plant-based products which help create simply stunning hair which you also feel good using as they’re all naturally derived," said Terri.

“We were thrilled to have dynamic duo Kal & Terri Robertson-Kirkwood presenting their interpretation of the Aveda Spring/Summer 2010 SUBLIME Collection on stage at Hair Expo 2010. Their professional stage manner always translates incredibly well to the audience and as a team they deliver education and trends that are well received by hairdressing industry peers," added Darren Potter, Brand General Manager Aveda Australian & New Zealand.

Originally from Scotland, Terri and Kal relocated their family to Australia in 2007 and soon set about making their dreams of a life in Australia a reality, opening their flagship RobertsonKirkwood salon in Rozelle in 2009.

Currently, RobertsonKirkwood salon is offering all readers who mention this article when booking, a complimentary luxurious Shine and Gloss Treatment so they can experience the difference eco-friendly products make to their hair. For more information, call (02) 9818 5180 or visit www.robertson-kirkwood.com
