21. Ruth Roche
Collection: Illustrated Sleek
Salon: RARE Salon, New York City
Category: Master Hairstylist of the Year
Photographer: Nico Iliev
Inspiration: Two art-inspired themes crossed over in creating Illustrated Sleek. One had the feeling of a tattoo drawn onto the face and hair-in colors and a style that resembled watercolors. The other theme was to create hair that looked illustrated-not quite like a cartoon but illustrated 2-dimensionally on a three-dimensional surface. Ruth Roche wanted the look to be glossy like plastic or acrylic.
