Frank Brorman is an entrepreneur with a fabulous heritage career in hairdressing. He is a German salon-owner and stylist who has a broad experience of working in different European countries, and trained with the likes of Patrick Cameron. Despite his fabulous start and quick success in the industry, Frank always felt there was ‘more to discover’. And indeed he was right!
Always driven and ambitious, Frank’s quest for ‘more has led him to discover a new way of cutting hair. The Calligraphy Cut. He talks to the host of the Respectfully podcast, Nicky Pope, to explain Calligraphy Cut – both a technique and a hair tool in the form of a Calligraphy pen.
Calligraphy Cut
During the conversation, Frank shares both how he conceived the Calligraphy Pen, and how it is used to best effect. This is essentially a simple idea: emulating the way florist trim the stems of flowers by cutting them on a slant so there is a larger surface area of the cut stem to absorb water. But the effects on the hair are striking and impactful. A slant cut gives more scope to absorb moisture, but also adds to the reflective surface for light and shine, and to the flexibility of the hair strand and thus the way hair falls.
Don’t talk our word for it – listen to this engaging conversation and we’re sure you’ll be inspired.
