Q+A:
How do you determine which prep product to begin with?
I determine which prep product to use by first looking at the natural texture of the hair & what I want the finished look to be.
Do you have a favorite go-to?
Awa Volume Volumizing Hair Mousse – hands down.
How do you think the precious ingredient story plays into speaking to products with clients?
The precious ingredient story is what makes Shu so special and it really makes Shu stand out against other hair brands.
What makes Shu so appealing to clients and stylists?
Shu Uemura products truly deliver on the promises that they make, to both clients and stylists alike.
Which two products can you not live without? And why?
Awa Volume Volumizing Hair Mousse because it is beyond versatile and Wata Wave Texturizing Spray because it delivers grit and hold but always feels good in the hair.
