Get That Style

Statuesque Figure

Martin Parsons sculpts dressed hair that respects the elegance of the occasion.

Martin Parsons has been educating hairdressers in his original techniques for 30 years and was the recipient of the first Lifetime Achievement Award in the Canadian hairdressing industry. In a two-day Martin Parsons session, a stylist learns 18 new looks.

Although well-known among hair stylists as the master of the updo, Martin Parsons designs a formal look not to showcase his own artistry but to help the woman express her beauty while elevating the level of celebration.

“When some of the guests show up at a party with their hair dressed, they make the party!” Parsons observes. Putting their hair up or back gives these ladies a look that’s distinctly different from their everyday appearance. Martin’s trio of looks in this collection illustrates examples of dressing hair that’s medium-length or longer. His advice to every woman with a party invitation clipped to her datebook: “Slip into the salon that afternoon, asks your stylist to put up your hair, bring some friends with you and you’ll all look fabulous!”
