Electric Hairdressing’s latest event on 29th May 2026, held in London and partnered with Calligraphy Cut, focused on inspiring hairdressers with contemporary colour and cutting techniques. Hosted by founder Mark Woolley, the session featured the Electric Art Team presenting new summer brunette shades and Chis Grimley and Cammey Gallacher demonstrating the Calligraphy Cut tool.
The event highlighted the importance of client engagement, with Woolley stating that salons must offer exciting options to retain customers. This suggests a need for continuous education and trend awareness among salon professionals to maintain client interest and loyalty.
Summer brunette trends, as showcased by Darren Webster and Tom Pike using Electric London E-Colour, centred on wearable, lived-in looks. These included cool espresso browns with lighter iced brown and ash tones, designed for an effortless yet luxurious feel that grows out gracefully. The emphasis on depth and richness alongside lighter tones offers a nuanced approach to seasonal colour adjustments.
The Calligraphy Cut demonstrations focused on creating instant texture and a soft, modern mullet effect. This technique addresses the growing client demand for wearable, on-trend styles that offer versatility and a point of difference. The session’s focus on practical, applicable trends provides salon owners with direct inspiration for client services.
