Sid has barbering running through his blood, since starting his training at the age of 10 (yes 10), this multi lingual magician has travelled the word plying his trade, wining a multitude of awards along the way! From starting out in Algeria, Sid moved on to Paris where he stayed for just under a year, before moving to London.

Whilst in his first year in London, he worked in a couple of high profile salons, one of which boasted a number of celebrity clients!!!! But it wasn’t long before Sid stuck out for himself opening his own salon smack bang in the centre of London! After 3 successful years as his own boss, family commitments meant that the time had come to make the move north to Liverpool, and (luckily for us) Voodou!

Sid has only been with our flagship barber shop on Bold St. for a short time, but is already bringing a vast array of new skills to the salon!

His speciality is undoubtedly traditional shaves which he makes extra special by not just using a cut throat blade and hot towels, but also scented candles, face massage and soothing eucalyptus oils on the towels to make for a truly relaxing experience!!

In addition to the shaves though, Sid is a master in the art of threading, and extremely good with all types of hair, has a unique cutting style, and is very skilled at fades!

In conclusion, Sid is a vastly experienced and skilled barber, who will make your experience extra special, so why not give the salon a call and make your appointment today??

But, who will dare to showcase this latest look on the crazy colour spectrum with their hair? If you’re not willing to go the whole hog one of our favourite products here at Voodou is the Kevin Murphy COLOUR.BUG and one of the three shades in this fantastic temporary hair colour is… You guessed it… Tangerine!

You apply this temporary colour powder onto your hair for a wash-in-wash-out burst of colour. It’s great for trying out the tangerine hue before deciding to take the permanent plunge. The COLOUR.BUG is available at all Voodou salons.

COLOUR.BUG is most definitely one of the hottest and most sought after gifts at Voodou this Christmas.  These coloured hair powders transform your hair in an instant into a vibrant, fun and creative style.  COLOUR.BUG inventor and hairdressing guru Kevin Murphy tells us how the idea came about…

COLOR.BUG first came to me while seeing a video of the Holi Festival of Colour in India. People going mad throwing around coloured powder and having the time of their lives, this is a religious festival in India to mark the start of spring.
The colours are amazing and on a recent trip to India I was able to come across these powders and thought how amazing would it be to have them for our hair.

There was a shift in fashion and I was seeing bright techno colours in fashion everywhere and “colour blocking” were (should say was the words on everyobody lips) the word on everybody’s lips. The blends of colour that interested me were mixing camel with hot pink, and petrol blues with fluoro oranges. I thought it would be great to do these sorts of things with hair. We have had vertical colouring techniques for so long and thought it was time to create a more horizontal block of colour. By using the natural tones of hair I was able to create a horizontal line and block the hair with a hot pink powder.
 
 
Abby Lee was the first model I tried this on for Vogue last year in March. We gave her the dip dye effect in pink.

A light went on in my head and I thought why cant hair colour be as easy as applying makeup? So I started the long road of how to make this pigment powder into a product so that everyone could have it.

I started to see colour popping up on the catwalks in London, Milan and New York, and every time I did an editorial I wanted to add colour. A coloured powder gave the hair a great texture and it was a great way to really transform the hair in seconds.
It took quite a few times before we had it perfected. I thought it was going to just be a fad but I did another shoot in the May issue of Vogue and then I knew it was going to be a great thing to do.

  

Colour was starting to pop everywhere.
I loved this shoot because of the punk overtones.

The ethnic clothes allowed me to make the look like a punk dreadlock girl that went to festivals. I’m not a colourist, so it has been so much fun experimenting with bright colour. There have been some challenges along the way like getting blue to stay blue. I just did this recent story and wanted to do blue.

I loved the cool colours and the lady-like nature of the clothes. This shoot had lots of subversive details. The mixing of lady-like and punk, 60’s makeup with 40’s hair, boots that look like they are from the 70’s with shift dresses from the 60’s. It was those nostalgic details that made me want to go mad and put blue in the hair like a singer in a girl band.

 

I love the contrast of the pink soft clothes with soft hair and a shock of blue. Blue is really hard to keep in the hair. It kept on going green because the hair is essentially yellow and if you mix blue and yellow you get green.
I now know that you have to do a shade of lilac to the blue to make it show up as blue. I will endeavour to get some more shades of COLOR.BUG as soon as I can. It has been the most fun I have had in making a product. It has been a long road from India to the pages of Vogue to the realisation of an actual product, but it has certainly been so worth it
 
I hope you like the shoots and watch this space for new colours! 
 
Regards,
Kevin Murphy

Wow this look on Fergie is a million miles away from the days of her flaunting her lady lumps in Lycra and that embarrassing wetting her pants incident.

Anyway, we digress. Here is one quarter of the Black Eyed Peas looking absolutely stunning with this Hollywood glamour inspired do.

Voodou colour expert (or Genius as we like to call her) and manager Vicky Hay gives the following advice for recreating this super sleek and sophisticated style.

Colour

“Fergie’s latest colour is another variation of the ombré which shows no sign of losing popularity at the moment. The colour seems natural at the root area. I would suggest she has had a full bleach blonde then had a darker toner applied on the top with a lighter toner on the bottom. It’s something easily achievable and easy to maintain too.”

Style

1) Shampoo & Conditioner “Wella SP Volumising shampoo would help set the foundation for the volume needed to achieve this big blow dry. Then as Fergie’s had her hair lightened I’d definitely go with Wella SP Instant Colour conditioner to help her keep that colour looking vibrant for longer.”

2) Blow Dry “As for the style, I’d start with TIGI Queen for a Day Thickening Spray. It’s a Voodou firm favourite as it thickens, gives body and volume, lifts the roots and gives an incredible hold but feels lightweight at the same time. Spray this at the roots and then a quick spritz all over. Blow dry the hair into a full bouncy style.”

3) Heated Rollers “Before putting the hair in heated rollers, lightly spray the hair with TIGI Session Series hairspray. This light to medium hold hairspray is very workable and perfect for using at this stage. Once the rollers have been applied it’s really important to let them completely cool. If you take them out when they’re still warm the curl won’t hold.”

4) Finishing touches “Once the rollers have been taken out, brush through the hair then brush the style back into the sleek side swept curls. You’re aiming for Hollywood Glamour. Then a final spritz of hairspray and you’re good to go!”

This style is gorgeous and glam and perfect for the party season. Want to recreate it on yourself? Call 0844 445 7889 to book into any one of our Voodou salons.
