Sebastien Richard - Tamaris Hair Seminar

For the last few years Sebastien Richard has been conducting a workshop on hair styling techniques for Tamaris, a leading stylist school in Japan.  Each year they come to New York for a few days of shopping, dining and yes, tutelage by Mr. Richard.  This year's was held at the lovely and historical Greenwich Pottery House in the West Village.

1. What is Tamaris, and how did the idea come about of hosting a Hair Styling Seminar in New York?

Tamaris is a hair product company based in Japan whose market is mainly targeted towards professionals.

We met for the first time through the fashion shows. They wanted to provide us with teams of assistants to help us during fashion week.

The idea of the seminars came right after that.

In fact, some of the assistants asked us if we could start providing them with classes to help improve their techniques and also as a way of helping them to become more creative.

So the following year I started working on putting a workshop together, mainly based on the basic techniques for photo shoots that hairstylist should know (this includes techniques such as fingerwaves, curling irons, chignons, etc.). It was a real success, with over 40 students coming over to New YorkThey were really enthusiastic...for the most part of it they had never learnt these techniques and were mainly trained on hair cutting.

We then decided to have another seminar for the following year, mainly focused on learning the techniques from the four decades of fashion spanning the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.
