Pastels’s hair artist’s fast track to success
Acclaimed creative director of Pastels Salon Dubai, Natalie Kasses, is only one of a clutch of stylists from the Middle East to now hold a L’Oréal Professionnel Colour Specialist Course degree. Usually completed in 13 weeks, Natalie attended an intensive version of the course in London, which offers one-on-one training to achieve the certificate in just 10 days. As part of this elite group of colour gurus, Kasses can turn her hand to any colour query – from assessing the correct colour to match specific skin tones to correcting a colour mishap.
Kasses is a L’Oréal Professionnel international ambassador and trainer who regularly hosts workshops and seminars throughout the Middle East for hair industry professionals. She was recently invited to style Yalda Golsharifi for the recent and highly-applauded L’Oréal hair contouring campaign. Kasses is also the creative genius behind Pastels in-house photoshoots which are consistently featured in global publications such as Hair UK and Hairdressers Journal. Natalie’s skills are in-demand as a fashion show stylist, lending her creative touch to Fashion Forward Season 6 in November 2015 and the inaugural Public School NYC show that took place in late 2015.
