焦點人物:英國 HOB Salon 國際創意總監 Akin Konizi

身為全球美髮產業指標性人物的 Akin Konizi,除了以精湛的技術以及前衛融合商業的手法站穩大師級地位之外,同時也是全球美髮產業最崇高獎項- BHA (British Hairdressing Award) 英國美髮大賽的年度最佳設計師四次的冠軍得主。也由於他獨到的眼光以及專業的技術,深受各大消費者以及個世界知名美髮大廠的青睞。



17 歲進入美髮業,在當時沙宣已占了美髮產業的龍頭地位, Akin 便立下宏願不能做第一至少也要做第二。憑藉著這股信念與衝勁,八零年代中期加入 HOB Salon 團隊並於九零年代成為團隊總監一職。在 Akin 的領導下以及工作夥伴的加持下,HOB Salon 已在英國各地共擁有24間的美髮沙龍,並成為獲得無數國際獎項的領導沙龍品牌。

除了現場工作之外,Akin 因為極具創意的造型使他活躍於各種舞台。不僅吸引知名歌手 Pixie Lott 以及 Ellie Goulding 成為忠實顧客,也擔任英國知名電視台 ITV 當紅真人實境秀: Paris Hilton's British Best Friend 的御用髮型師,甚至受到國際許多知名美髮品牌例如: WELLA Profession 以及 ghd 等爭相邀約擔任國際品牌大使。

由於早期在倫敦最具權威的美髮學院 Alan International 學習的熱忱與經驗,使得 Akin 在教育這一塊一直都相當注重且不遺餘力。2007 年創立了 HOB Academy,因為他對於教育訓練的熱忱以及不吝嗇分享精湛技術的心態,不僅成為世界各地專業人士想要精進技術的必修學院,也再一次為他的美髮事業添上亮眼的一筆。
