springtime at hairport

since the sun is out for more than a week now and the temperatures are rising we decided it’s springtime in lisbon. one afternoon was mostly dedicated to restyle ourselfs and get some color in our hair – it was fun obviously!

exchanging ideas and experiment on each others hair brings a lot of feedback into our everyday live. the comments of the people on the street, of our clients, our friends and our families fuel our creativity. the teamwork and the teamspirit is the most important thing within the wip-hairport salon.

in general one can say the work and the colleagues are quite boring and narrow minded!

no fun for four

at the end of the day mr zm@)tek aka mr Z and his friend mrs. bizarre were quite anxious for the results – thus, some finishing had to be done:

flying hair and hot air

meanwhile in the Z zone:

Our inspiring and faithfull client Patricia Henriques

Patricia is a programmer and project manager in lisbon, who does not just make her career happen amongst a very macho environment, but also leaves her colleagues with an open mouth because of her various hairstyles.

She was cutting and coloring with nearly all of the wip-hairport staff by now, and is part of the family. She likes to go out and once in while if one is lucky she shows her secret tap dance skills…

the artist an the model

some artists in our salon do have favorite models, that enjoy hair experiments. jezz for instance has this good looking friend, who is willing to undergo long hours of bleaching an coloring. very often jezz does designs in her sketch book and transfers them on to the heads of her clients. of course the challenge for both is to push the limits. as you can see they develop together a quite unique style for him and he pulls it of confidently.

haircut curtain with red edge

this haircut with a strong length contrast was done by silvia, and the color by neria. very subtile but surprising, subversiv elegance we would call it.

one of our old friends and regular clients. she likes to change her hairstyle a lot and the short cut and the color match her face and skin tone very well.

this cut and color was done by jezz back in 2007, quite amazing how she managed to combine her artistic and her hairdressing skills. one more cut that made the people on the streets of lisbon turn their head.
