INTERNATIONAL HAIRDRESSER OR HAIR PSYCHIATRIST?
So, is he a true international hairdresser? No, the word hairdresser no longer really describes what he does. He is more of a hair psychiatrist who dissects hair right down to its core in order to then create an amazing style from it and to finish it perfectly.
Huub’s vision of hair fashion does not rely on seasonal trends, he develops it using his own concepts, inspired by subtle elements observed in the everyday street scene, combined with outlandish influences from international fashion publications from New York, London, Paris and Milan.
Global art, culture and architecture all have an influence on his creativity and he manages to channel it in his very own way into new styles and colours.
Simplicity, comfort and versatility can always be found at the very forefront of his range. Many different lifestyles exist alongside each other, and combining these with one another results in a contemporary, unique hairstyle.
