Creative director of colorproof evolved color care visits fringe salon & spa

What makes the stylists at Fringe industry leaders? Experience, talents and most of all... progression. At Fringe Salon and Spa we pride ourselves in offering the latest products and trends. We work hard to stay on top of cutting edge styles and techniques so that we can deliver them to you! Our mission is to stay educated and this month we had the honor to do so with a very special guest, Global Hairdresser of the Year, Phillip Wilson.

As the Creative Director of ColorProof Evolved Color Care, Wilson has a long and colorful (no pun intended) resume. Born in England, Phillip has explored all facets of beauty and become an industry icon. Launching his career in London's hip west end and training with grand masters from all over the world, Wilson has been able to interact with fashion elite, royalty, and Hollywood celebrities. He has created looks for Sharon Stone, Lisa Kudrow, Jenny McCarthy, Crispin Glover, Melissa Joan Hart, Catherine Keener, Anne Heche, and Carmen Electra to name a few. 

Wilson is recognized for his outstanding talent, creative passion, and youthful energy. And he shared all of that with us last Monday. Our stylists came in on their day off to get hands on training with Wilson.  We experienced artistic brilliance paired with award-winning product perfection that elevated our skill sets to the next level. A bit of what we perfected includes:

-Wilson’s duo-comb cutting technique
-Styling the signature “swing bob”
-Evaluating head shape
-Personalizing each cut 
And more! What an experience!

Voted one of the most influential hairdressers of the past 100 years by Modern Salon magazine, Wilson is one of the most published editorial hairstylists in the world. We are so grateful that he traveled to Saint Louis to personally work with our stylists. It was a long day with hard work but absolutely worth every second! And that is what makes our staff of professional stylists industry leaders. Consider us a "cut above the rest".
