We spoke to iconic industry hairdresser Travis Bandiera from Royals Hair Cherrybrook & Brookvale about style, trends, career highlights and quotes to live by.
How would you describe your style aesthetic? Fun, colourful with an edge.
How do you start your mornings? If I’m bothered, I’ll hit the gym. If not I’ll try to start my day with green tea and some campy music.
How do you unwind after a day at work? My best way to unwind is to FaceTime my mum, I ramble on and she just listens.
Pick your poison? A really good classic margarita.
Three desert island hair products/tools? O&M Surf Bomb, C Paste and a set of wireless clippers.
A quote to live by? Do what you want to do, say what you want to say, because those who matter don’t mind, and those who do mind don’t matter.
Best advice to get over heartbreak? Invest as much energy into friends and family as possible.
What cut and colour are you loving right now? I can never go past a shaved head with a fresh military buzz.
Forecast for a 2022 hair trend? Nudes! Think beige with a touch of dusty pink!
Favourite Instagram accounts? @sylvestre_finold, @guidopalau and @diet_prada.
A career highlight? Assisting my business partner in hair direction at NYFW!
What piece of clothing or accessory can you not live without? A fun pair of sunglasses!
