從容不迫、精采不間斷的表演，這正是一年一度在倫敦皇家歌劇院（Royal Albert Hall）盛大上演的Alternative Hair Show，今年，來自全球菁英美髮團隊20組人馬，無不卯足全勁演繹今年主題《Equilibrium平衡》，一場接續一場，目不暇給，只有親身參與其中者才能領會其中奧妙。

 

第一次參與盛會的EROS設計師貓王表示：「對我來說是一場震撼教育，現場集結英國很經典的沙龍與具代表性的人物，各個團隊在有限時間內精湛演出。從一開始的音樂出場就可以帶入他們想要傳達的氛圍裡，再從服裝、秀導的編排，表達的意境深入人心，令人震撼。」

台灣美髮教父Andy看的角度不同而有另一番領悟，他指出：「歐洲美髮大師雖彼此競爭卻惺惺相惜的相互尊重，讓人動容，我很希望台灣美髮界也能破除成見，一同為台灣美髮領域的提升而努力。」

 

無論是內行人看門道或是外行人看熱鬧，總之，身為美髮人的你如果今年沒有參加，就請用心體會以下每一組團隊的精采畫面，另外，只要是美髮人，一輩子至少要到倫敦Alternative Hair Show朝聖一次，這是美髮人專屬的盛會，你，又怎麼能錯過呢？！
