After spending this morning at Vector Arena – on day three of the set-up madness – I popped out to Vada on Pitt Street to hang out with the hosts for this years awards, Ben Hurley and Shannon Ryan.
Draped in h
is black hairdressers cape I asked Ben how he was feeling about the awards.
“I’m really looking forward to it. Everyone keeps asking me if I’m nervous about it, but I’m not, just looking forward to it.”
I also asked Ben if he would be having an up-do, but he thought some cornrows might be better. Guy Roberts, the director of Vada was in charge of Ben’s hair and didn’t agree with either of our i
deas.
Guy worked quickly and skillfully on Ben’s hair and despite sporting a ‘Bieber’ during drying, left the salon a happy man.
Shannon did admit to being a bit nervous, but mostly excited about the whole thing and a go
od sort of nervous.
“When I went down to Vector yesterday I was looking at the signs on the doors as I walked down the hall; Anika Moa, Gin Wigmore, Ben Hurley and then there was one with my name on it… I was so excited, I’ve never had my own dressing room before!!”
Leonie Nicholls was in charge of Shannon’s hair and started with a nice gloss treatment and then a quick trim.
Guy then came over to discuss hairstyle ideas for Shannon and through the noise of blowdryers I managed
to catch; slick, flick, wave, top-knot, piled up and mohawk-ef
fect!
Shannon’s hair was then flicked and clipped into various styles and she still managed to look stunning in her black cape… which I for one, NEVER do.
Shannon also left a happy girl, though which style she’s going with is still undecided. Guess we’ll have to wait till Thursday to find out.
