We’re putting the focus on pioneering members of the hair salon community and today we’re asking Liam Thompson, stylist and head of Full Spectrum Hair Concept for trend forecasts, career highlights, advice and more. Read on.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE AESTHETIC?
I’d say ever changing, a style chameleon, even? I like to change it up – overalls, or a suit and tie, whatever the day calls for.
HOW DO YOU START YOUR MORNINGS?
Coffee! Is there any other way? Some may call it an addiction but it is a non-negotiable, don’t catch me without it.
HOW DO YOU UNWIND AFTER A DAY AT WORK?
I have to tick off my daily to-do list and I create tomorrow’s before I can really chill. I also walk with my baby Fran the Frenchie and have some cuddles.
PICK YOUR POISON?
Vodka, in any form really.
THREE DESERT ISLAND HAIR PRODUCTS/TOOLS?
Evo Normal Persons Daily Shampoo – you need a good detox with all that salty water -, Evo Box O’ Bollox Texture Paste and my Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer of course.
A QUOTE TO LIVE BY?
Babe, It’s a Vibe. Can I quote myself? Haha!
SOMETHING YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT?
My phone, can anyone, really? It’s our connection to everything.
BEST ADVICE TO GET OVER HEARTBREAK?
It’s going to be okay, EVERYTHING happens for a reason, regroup, reprioritise and find time for loving you.
WHAT CUT AND COLOUR ARE YOU LOVING RIGHT NOW?
A lived-in shaggy texture and curls. I love cutting and I love how everyone is experimenting with natural textures and finding ways to enhance their unique looks. For colour – COPPER – it’s hot! Quite literally.
HAIR TREND FORECAST?
Impact – bigger hair! Precision cuts, brighter blondes and shinier brunettes with bold tonality.
A CAREER HIGHLIGHT?
Australian Fashion Week and working backstage as a younger stylist. I love runway styling and being in the hustle and bustle of Fashion Week. It was absolutely amazing and inspiring working with so many influential stylists in our industry.
WHAT PIECE OF CLOTHING OR ACCESSORY CAN YOU NOT LIVE WITHOUT?
My watch! Time tracker, clip holder and the perfect finish to every outfit.
