Why I Asked Matt Clements to Present at HAIR The Movement
“In my search for the most technical colourists worldwide, I’d say Matt Clement is best described as: “He is to colour what Sassoon is to cutting.” His precision, artistry, and deep knowledge of colour science set him apart as one of the most respected colourists in the industry today.
It was vital to invite someone whose meticulous application, innovative placement, and undeniable expertise push the boundaries of what’s possible with hair colour. If hairdressing were a university degree, Matt would have a PhD in colouring. His commitment to the craft is nothing short of extraordinary.
I am beyond proud to announce that Matt will be joining our incredible artist lineup at HAIR… The Movement. I cannot wait to see the magic he creates. This is a session not to be missed!” Sharon Blain
