Last month’s All That Hair show was the launch of our new luxury Gold Class Clip-In range and our founder, Inanch Emir, stunned us with her avant garde creations. Most of the looks worked with these clip-ins, so let’s take a closer look at just how she created these incredible creations…

Left to right:

Imogen: Working with a spider frame, Inanch plaited hair to cover the shape with basket weave. Three Clip-Ins were added for uber-volume for hair to tumble down with the spider-legs dangling over the top.
‘The Basket Cases’ – Charlotte: her hair was plaited from her parting into a wide triangle to secure the hair, donuts were applied to the sides of her head with Clip Ins covering this, before crimping her own hair and securing into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck.
Jess: Starting with the flat sheets of hair, Inanch ripped sections to form individual tulip shapes with gold glitter centres. A clip in added length and volume for blending when backcombed to the tulips.
‘The Pirate Hats’ Anastasia: the spectacular sculptures wrapped in hair and with Clip Ins draped to flow and move with the model’s movement.
‘Twelve Twists’ – Laura: Twirling long hair extensions into twelve twists onto a head piece sitting down the centre parting down the hair to create a Mohawk. Two Clip Ins added length and volume to the sides.
‘The Fan’ & ‘The Tulip’ Juste: Creating sheets of hair by slowly building this up before creating the pleated fan and sprayed with gold and wrapped around her head.
Ianthe: Sleek flower was sculpted to the front of the head with clips in added down the back into a double ponytail with plenty of texture.
Imogen: Working with a spider frame, Inanch plaited hair to cover the shape with basket weave. Three Clip-Ins were added for uber-volume for hair to tumble down with the spider-legs dangling over the top.
‘Flower Power’ – Daisy: A Clip In was added to a wire to sculpt into 12 large and 12 small flowers placed and sewn onto a chunky plait.
‘The Pirate Hats’ Nena: the spectacular sculptures wrapped in hair and with Clip Ins draped to flow and move with the model’s movement.

All of the preparation was made by Inanch Emir herself and was assisted on the night by her salon team members Lee McCrudden, Ivan Rachev and Alessandro Spitaleri alongside fellow Gold Class extenionists Anne Veck, Nicola Smyth and Elisa Didymus.

…and with a sprinkling of gold glitter, hair graffiti spray and gold make up; the models shone.

“This was my first real venture into the Avant Garde world and creating something experimental with our hair and I loved it. I spent a lot of time looking at various textiles and textures for inspiration before playing with the hair.” Inanch Emir

Long standing Gold Class client, Sam Faiers, unleashed her new long and luscious mane of hair last week. She unveiled her gorgeous Gold Class “mermaid” locks on Instagram, stating “I’m a mermaid @inanchlondon @goldclasshair @lee_inanchlondon you guys are the best ” causing floods of enquires inundating our Gold Class flagship salon, Inanch London.

“How can this look be recreated?”, many have asked.

The beautiful warm colour tones used by Lee McCrudden at Inanch London and bespoke shades of Gold Class Hair were applied by Inanch Emir herself. 150 strands, measuring 50cm in length were applied, consisting of three Gold Class shades, named; Walnut, Bronzed and London Gold, all blending seamlessly to reveal natural and healthy looking hair that are #SimplyGoldClass. Her magnificent mane was then styled using large GHD irons to create mermaid like soft beach waves.

“Why so long?”, others have asked.

We love to show the versatility and natural look of our hair extensions even with a significant change. Sam wanted to go longer on this occasion so what better way to demonstrate this by adding extreme length to the hair and creating more volume – all resulting in an effortlessly gorgeous wavy style which fell to Sam’s waist.

Sam opted for the ponytail look as she attended the launch of the new Gold Class Clip-In range at the Hippodrome Casino in London just days after revealing the new look, showing that the style and seamless application of the hair can look great no matter the style or occasion.

As the new year approaches, maybe you could get a new hair-do too! And why wouldn’t you want to look like a mermaid? Book your consultation with an elite Gold Class salon now.
