BALENCIAGA
Wanting to the look to appear slightly futuristic, Guido created a sophisticated look at Balenciaga to compliment, not compete with the clothes.

2. Layer in hardwear 16 super strong gel so each strand is saturated. Comb product in so hair is smooth without bumps.
3. Secure in a low pony tail at nape of neck.
4. Make sure hair is along the hair line and pulled tight without any dips.
5. Wrap hair into a knot and secure with pins.
6. Finish with forceful 23 super strength finishing spray for hold.



NINA RICCI
Inspired by 1950s and 60s French actresses, Guido fashioned a chic hairstyle to pair with the designs coming down the runway. “Nina Ricci is a very feminine, sophisticated design house and the hair adds a dimension of "the present" making the overall look of the collection very modern for today's woman.”
