S2 host Italian hair brand launch event


Hairstylists were invited to Sweet Squared's head office in Leeds for the launch of salon exclusive hair brand Alter Ego Italy (AEI).

Alter Ego is a premium colour and care brand offering a range of products to the hair professional from colours, to styling and finishing products.

AEI Brand Ambassadors Pete Burkill and Issie Churcher were on hand for the event, along with Sweet Squared Technical Hair Chief, Emily Schofield. Attendees were treated to a video presentation of the SS18 Collection and live demonstrations. Pete and Issie created six SS18 looks ranging from ethereal pastel pink locks to commercial brunette waves, appealing to both the fashion-focused and salon-friendly hairdresser.
