We’re jealous at HairClubLive HQ, hearing all your festival going news, and Rainbow Rooms International (RRI) led the field with their stories of hosting a pop-up salon at TRNSMT festival in Glasgow! The RRI team provided haircuts and styling to performing artists backstage. Very cool.
This is the second year the team had their festive pop-up salon, adding to their experience of styling hair at many high profile events including the MOBOs, the Scottish BAFTAs, The Scottish Style Awards, and T in The Park festival. RRI team – if you ever need a hand, you know where we are…
Back to the TRNSMT story… held over two weekends kicked off on Friday 29 June to Sunday 1 July, when the RRI team styled the hair of band members from Fatherson, British singer, Tom Grennan, The Magic Gang, Gang of Youths, as well as the lead guitarist from Wolf Alice. Oh, and Liam Gallagher’s tour manager who also came along to the pop up salon to have his hair tidied up. Nice! The trend for the male artists seemed to be short, choppy cuts and cropped graduated cuts, whilst female artists opted for different braided hair looks. Very festival-chic!
The second weekend of TRSNMT delivered band members from The Temperance Movement, Alabama 3 and La Fontaines to the RRI pop-up. Alabama 3 band members had their hair taken in shorter at the sides with emphasis on their longer hair at the top. Band member, Darren, from La Fontaines got a scissor over comb with a short fade. Matt, guitarist with The Temperance movement had his hair chipped into… Way to go guys. And big high-five to Schwarzkopf Professional for sponsoring the RRI team.
