Five times a finalist Yes you read the title right. Nikita Fisher didn’t just land one finalist position in the Colour World Genius Awards. She made it as a finalist in five categories (and she’s even in one category twice) Huge congratulations to Nikita. It really was no joke when she told us how much she loves to colour hair in her recent interview. The Colour World Genius Awards had a total of over 700 entries. Each category was judges by 35 renowned colourists and between them hey narrowed it down to six finalists per category – that’s some pretty special work.

Hailing from Florence, Domenico Casella has brought over his amazing Italian flair to the world of colour. Domenico, who has worked in the industry for almost 15 years, has pioneered his “Hybrid Hair” also known as shatush; a free hand technique exclusive to Neville and Philip Martin’s using only a cone and his hands; which colours only the hair which would naturally be ‘kissed’ by the sun. Similar to balayage, shatush is extremely soft and creates the subtlest results. Domenico has created the perfect colour service for those wishing to add dimension to their hair.
