In the ‘Present’ section I will show what modern-day hair styles are like. There will be kids and teenagers in this section because the present belongs to the younger generation. The ‘Future’ segment will be fun and whimsical as I have let my imagination run wild about what the future holds. These styles are not realistic of course and there is a very futuristic look to them. There will also be a ‘Fantasy’ segment which will feature body paint and will be very artistic,” he added. Apart from exhibiting his work, the main aim of Ramzi’s show is to give the upcoming, new artists a helping hand. “I want the budding new stylists to be there and see what it was like, I want them to witness a show like this so they can draw inspiration and encouragement from it,” he said.
