Second successful hob uncut event in london – here’s what happened

HOB Academy hosted ‘HOB Uncut’ event last Monday afternoon in Camden Town, London, to a sell-out international crowd. Held for the second year, the event gave hairdressers and industry professionals the exciting opportunity to watch inspirational live demonstrations from the HOB Creative Team. The showcase, held at Proud Camden, saw the audience get up close to watch as 4 x British Hairdresser of the Year Akin Konizi and the HOB Creative Team presented fourteen models; each with different forward-thinking precision cuts beautifully set off by artistic use of colour and contemporary finishes. Six live cutting demonstrations were then led by Akin, working on stage alongside his Creative Team: BHA London finalist Jake Unger, Senior Educator Ian Rotman and Educator Nestor Sanchez-Gomez. All fourteen models had been coloured beforehand by Technical Educator Sean Nolan, who also took to the stage to describe the thought process and application techniques behind his work. For many of the audience, HOB Uncut was the fantastic finale to a weekend that had been packed with hairdressing events. The HOB Creative Team themselves had been showing models at both Salon International and the Alternative Hair Show in the preceding days. Akin said of the event, “The whole team are thrilled that HOB Uncut was such a success and attracted such a wide audience from around the world. We’re looking forward to establishing this as an essential must-go-to event in the hairdressing calendar.” The HOB Creative Team are looking ahead to a busy 2018, their focus will be on delivering bespoke courses and seminars at salons across the UK and internationally.
