If you entrust your hair to London hairstylist Issac Poleon, you certainly won’t be crying in front of the mirror afterwards.
What do you want to be when you grow up? Around the age of twelve, some people wanted to become hairdressers, gave themselves pretty or not-so-pretty forehead fringes with paper scissors and slapped hair dye from the supermarket on their heads. Went wrong. Issac Poleon started his career at 17 – washing, cutting and blow-drying in a salon in Battersea, a district of London. Since then, the Londoner no longer makes hair beautiful, but smooth art out of it: Issac Poleon belongs to the avant-garde of hairstyling and stages Afro hair more skillfully than anyone else. Even Newton begins to doubt gravity. The models’ hair stands on end, without any stun guns. Afros become gigantic bird’s nests, and Issac braids braids in such a way that they sometimes reach down to the floor, sometimes climb up walls like squid tentacles. Giving free rein to creativity – that’s what the hairstylist does in collaboration with top photographers, including London photographer and filmmaker Campbell Addy. Both British Vogue and The Face feature Issac’s hair creations in editorials, but the list is far from complete. The Londoner has styled hair for big names in the fashion industry. Let’s mention Rihanna’s Fenty and Mowalola, the label of the Nigerian fashion designer of the same name – also from London. In his home town, the hairstylist transforms Browns’ The Parlor into his own salon and welcomes those who like to experiment with hairdressing scissors and hairspray. Important: Whether Afro hair or not, everyone should feel comfortable at Poleon, regardless of their hair structure. In any case, the focus is only on one thing: washing, cutting and blow-drying. And the transformative power of a new hairstyle.
