This year’s successful INSPIRE.ME event in Estonia was held in an old theatre in the heart of old town Tallinn. Over 100 hairdressers from Estonia and Finland attended the event to catch looks from this year’s Fashion Week and to watch exclusive colour techniques from the latest COLOR.ME campaign, Precious Metals. The looks were styled by KEVIN.MURPHY STYLE.MASTER Juha-Matti Manninen and PLATINUM.KEY Janika Orav, while COLOR.MASTER Henrik Sippo explained each colour technique and formula during the demonstration. Read on to find out how to achieve these fashion forward looks!
