In a recent event that brought together global talent and local passion, the June Tomkyns Salon and Academy hosted an exclusive series of hairstyling workshops. Renowned Australian stylists Aidan Sloan and Luke Kelso showcased their expertise, offering participants invaluable insights into modern haircuts and styling techniques. Alongside them were Jackson Sloan and the Gamma+ team, led by Carmelo Francese and supported by Shivani Randive. These intensive sessions transformed attendees' skills through personalized guidance in a small-group setting.
During a vibrant week at the June Tomkyns Salon and Academy in Melbourne, hairstyling enthusiasts gathered for hands-on learning experiences. Each four-hour session was meticulously designed to accommodate only 20 participants, fostering an intimate atmosphere conducive to focused education. The expert instructors—Aidan Sloan, ambassador of Gamma+ across Australia, New Zealand, and India, alongside Luke Kelso—delved deep into various cutting-edge styles. Attendees learned about mid-skin fades, burst fades, drop fades with side parts, and taper fades, all executed with precision and flair. Through these demonstrations, they not only mastered the methods but also understood the reasoning behind each technique.
The seminar's highlights included Aidan Sloan’s sharp burst fade haircut and Luke Kelso’s sleek mid-skin fade, both exemplifying modern aesthetics. Another standout was Aidan’s drop fade with a side part, blending seamlessly for a polished look, while Luke’s V-back fade combined texture and detail for a sophisticated finish.
With such detailed instruction, participants left inspired, equipped with tools to elevate their craft.
