Hipster vs natural hairstyle, by albert Catalán and Termix
Personalization, passion for the organic and continuous innovation. This three ingredients define Albert Catalán’s work philosophy, becoming one of the most awarded Spanish hairstylists and entrepreneurial figure. His hair salon ‘Son de Mar’ is the best example: it is the first one in the world with a system of pure air, which merges the Ibiza style with the latest trends. From this Mediterranean space, he presents, together with Termix, two clear men hairstyles: the one that comes directly from the hipster movement and another one that moves towards versatility and naturalness.
“The secret for success is to find the balance between both trends. On one hand, we work the hipster trend, which clearly has rescued the barber figure, with its specific techniques. On the other hand, we offer traditional services with our personal seal, as sea water treatments, to achieve natural and less transgressor looks for all customer profiles. In both cases, the common denominator is to always work with the best hairdressing tools, such as the ones of Termix, and more specifically with their latest releases, that provide us the highest performance for our daily work: the TX01 and TX02 hair clippers, the Premium CK23 and CK23T hair cutting and hair thinning shears and the new razor”, explains Catalán.
In a clear context where beards have re-emerged to stay, Albert Catalán underscores the importance of care and style. “The beard has become the perfect complement to the man. But there is a very thin barrier between a messy beard and a polished one. Generally, we try to look for the perfect shape that best suits the clients face. The TX01 hair clipper is the best for this type of work, thanks to its maximum precision, which allows us to play with the length and volume. For baber haircut styles and techniques, its blade adjustment system allows to make all kinds of gradients. It is also important to use a natural bristle hairbrush like the one of Termix that help us to unravel and extend the beard to work it better. The hair cutting CK23 Termix shear is also an indispensable tool, which an excellent cutting and sharpening”.
To get more natural looks, I like to combine the hair cutting hair clipper for contours at the back and the razor at the top to give the necessary movement. The new black Termix razor has has surprised me, not only for its outstanding precision, but by its weight, a bit heavier than the rest, which helps for more control. On the other side of the transgressive hipsters, naturalness and versatility is also an option for clients who want more freedom when choosing a look for every occasion”, concludes Albert Catalán.
