THE ART OF HAIRDRESSING

By Eva Fydrych


If someone hasn't heard the name Arnaud Prevost yet, they will for sure hear it in the near future. This award winning stylist based in London, UK, is quickly making his way up in one of the most competitive fashion markets in the world. His trademarks: unique hair designs, passion, and creativity. Secrets to his success: amazing talent, hard work, and determination.

FASHION STUDIO: How did you get involved in the hairdressing industry?

ARNAUD: I got interested in the fashion and hairdressing industry when I was 15 years old. I began a course at ESTEC in Bourges, France which gave me excellent training and the determination to continue my chosen profession.

FASHION STUDIO: How do you remember that time?

ARNAUD: During that time I progressed my skills by working in the salons of Sergio Bossi and Frederic Alary in Nevers, France, winning all three stages of the Best Apprentice Hairdresser of France Awards: Best District Apprentice, Best Regional Apprentice, and Best Apprentice of France 2004. In the same year I obtained my professional certificate, CAP, and began my career straight after. My first two years were spent at Franck Provost, Nevers where I gained a wealth of technical training through the Franck Provost Academy in Paris.

FASHION STUDIO: Why did you decide to move to the UK?

ARNAUD: I decided to move to the UK in order to learn new techniques and become fluent in English. In 2005, I become part of the team at the Metropolis Salon in Kingston, London. Director Robert Masciave has been a finalist of the British Avant-Garde Hairdressing Awards and working with him is inspiring.

FASHION STUDIO: How do you find London so far? Is it keeping you busy?

ARNAUD: Over the years, working in London, I have taken part in many shows and magazine photo shoots including an Avant-Garde show at Salon International and have frequented shows at the Torture Garden Nightclub.

FASHION STUDIO: Your latest achievements...

ARNAUD: Most recently I was a finalist at the Alternative Visionary Award 2010 - a competition for the best international creative stylist. I also started working as a hair designer at London Fashion Week.

FASHION STUDIO: Thank you for your time and good luck with all your future projects!
