Fast Food / Slow Hair
(Taken from an article written by John Santilli, Rome, Italy)
The Italians started a philosophy called Slow.
Hamburgers and the multi-national chains had arrived in Italy and the first generation of "fast" was started. To combat this someone came up with the philosophy of eating and preparing food the slow way, so that you can enjoy the food and enhance your experience in life. It's the same for hair, multi-national chains would have us do hair faster and cheaper, but in our profession, quality cannot be rushed. We should educate our clients to understand that quality takes time and has another cost. This is the "New Italian Way", for example, a "slow" haircut would be to start by having a little talk with your clients to find out about her personality and what she would like her hair to say to society. Then to study the body to find a relationship to the style that will come to mind, study the hairline for eventual problems to the design, study the texture as not every style suits every texture, study the bone structure to make disadvantages become advantages.
At this moments the whole of your ideas and background knowledge are starting to amalgamate and you get a thrill that this is going to work well and continue to the end hoping to see that magic smile on the face of the client. That satisfied smile that tells the truth that the client is happy and that smile is better than any thank you she may say after.
The Ginger Group practices "Slow Hair".

Did You Know...?
The Importance of a Hair Style?
Hair is part of CULTURE. The hairstyle is part of the history of a nation. It tells you a lot about that nation. Its a non-verbal communication to the world about who you are. Hair styling goes back to before history and is, and has been very important to anyone with a statement to make, like "I am the King", or "I am rich", or "I am a soldier", or "I am the bees knees".... In history, some hairstyles have been banned from ordinary people wearing. In the Edo period of Japanese history, only the Samurai class could wear their hair in those famous styles. The culture of hair comes before cloths, before shoes, hand bags or million dollar tiaras.
