Hair
at the Orange
British Academy Film Awards 2012
The Bafta 2012 red carpet arrivals
came thick and fast and who can blame
the celebrities for rushing inside
on one of the coldest nights of the
year? John Clarke from Brooks+Brooks,
one of London’s leading award winning
salons, has been picking his style
winners from the glittering line up.
John runs the colour department at
Brooks+Brooks and the team call him
their ’colour geek’ , as he lives,
breathes and dreams colour! John is
a creative and outstanding colourist
and is also one of the most down to
earth guys you will meet – so no question
is a problem and if you don’t know
what you want leave it to him.
He has a way of making colour look
’expensive’ high shine and quality
of hair second to none. John completed
his colour degree with an amazing
94% distinction and loves passing
his knowledge on to the rest of the
team.
Below John shares his thoughts with
UKHairdressers on the celebrity hair
cuts and colours walking the red carpet
at the BAFTA’s….
Berenice
Bejo (Nominated for Leading Actress
in The Artist)
Berenice has lightened her hair colour
to lovely caramel shade . Waves were
scooped up into a shaggy chignon’
with loose tendrils allowed to fall
free at the sides. Perfect for the
occasion.
Meryl
Streep (Nominated for Leading Actress
in The Iron Lady)
You can’t argue with this lady’s updo
– soft, bouffant curls - we love it
but reckon it would have needed some
serious strong hold spray!
Michelle
Williams (Nominated for Leading
Actress in My Week with Marilyn)
Short, pixie crop a la Mia Farrow
with beautiful shades of honey blonde.
Tilda
Swinton (Nominated for Leading Actress
in We Need to Talk About Kevin)
That buttercream blonde works so well
with her skin tones – think Vintage,
Rockabilly, Elvis and Androgynous
– unique and so dramatic with tightly
cropped back and wild quiff.
Olivia
Firth
Her neat pony at the nape of her neck
and that black suit was pure elegance.
Judi
Dench
(Nominated for best
Supporting actress in
My Week with Marilyn)
She looked incredible with her pixie
crop which suits her face shape beautifully.
Jessica
Chastain
Looked striking with her strawberry/
apricot blonde hair colour and her
simple, yet effective one-sided loosely
waved look.
Christina
Ricci
Totally on trend with her modern version
of the classic sleek chignon- fabulous!
Christina
Hendrick
Her paired down look with loose waves
pinned behind the ears added a sophisticated
structure to a natural look and teamed
with that eye catching red hair to
stunning effect.
Helena
Bonham Carter
A national treasure yes, but her hair
was a little too ‘bird’s nest’ for
our liking.
Gillian
Anderson
Got it perfectly right – oaty and
sandy toned blonde with an almost
pre-Raphaelite wave and fastened at
nape of her neck for a modern but
classic look - B&B love!
The Bond Girls Berenice Marlohe
and Naomie Harris rocked ‘texture
with polish’ – not beachy or scrunched
but worked with their natural curl.
Penelope
Cruz
We reckon went for
a 60’s bond girl look.
