UK stylists join prestigious hair design team
Alfaparf Milano Professional has announced its Architects of Design (AOD) team for 2026, comprising 12 stylists from the UK and Ireland.
The year-long programme kicked off in Dublin with a session with Jamie Benny, Alfaparf Milano Professional Brand Ambassador UKI, and will continue with workshops in Rome and Milan with brand ambassadors Simon Shaw, Andrea Dorata, Ben Brown and Paul Stafford plus current F.A.M.E Team member Samantha Byrne.
UK-based stylists on this year's AOD team include Chelsey Stone (Chelsea Stone Hair), Paul Carlin (Carlin Hair), Sienna Scarr (Steven Scarr Hair), Matthew Morris (Matthew Morris Hair Design), Lee Hathaway (Lee Hathaway Hair), Jane Stacey (Pretty Soul Hair & Beauty) and Dan Pryke (Pare Hair Co.)
Stacy Humphrey's, Head of Education, Xpert Professional (the brand's UK distributor), says:
“We have such wealth of experience and talent in this year's team. It does not matter what stage of career you are at, if you are a hairdresser, it's important that you never stop learning. This multi-disciplinary programme is designed to not only be inspirational, but to give even experienced stylists the opportunity to upskill and learn new techniques. The monthly programme will cover everything from wig-making, colour workshops, cutting masterclasses and styling.”
At the end of the year, the AOD team will collaborate on a two-day shoot at the Alfaparf Milano Academy in London, bringing together everything they have learnt.
