Founded by two friends during lockdown, Gemma Scullion (a L’Oreal Colour Specialist) and Jade Picken (an Aveda Colour Master), the Sheffield based salon is vegan friendly and LGBTQ+ inclusive, and was created as a space where artists could push themselves, bounce ideas off each other and make clients feel at home. The two stylists who represented the colour specialist salon at LCT were Jessica Elwell and Lewis Inkles, whose futuristic look took influence from digitalisation and featured layered panels of urban deep green and vivid yellow.
