Exclusive: Doll's Affair in Düsseldorf
L'IMAGE CATAPULTED TOP HAIR BACK TO THE 90s
Neusäß, April 4, 2024 - Ghetto blaster, girl group and grunge - the three most important Gs from an era 30 years ago: The 90s are back and with concentrated nostalgiaThe industry's most important weekend was coming up again in Düsseldorf: TOP HAIR brought together 27,000 visitors from the hairdressing trade. On March 23 and 24, 2024, L'IMAGE also presented itself and this time in retro style, because the 90s are back! "What did mom say? Everything comes back at some point," jokes L'IMAGE CEO Adina Alt. "Extravagant, crazy and with lots of girl factor: the 90s hairstyles had a lot to offer. Now the trend is coming back and really shaking up our styling world."
Because the 90s were certainly not a decade of understatement. It was playful and creative on the heads of hip 90s kids. So it's no wonder that the new collection from L'IMAGE is celebrating a comeback of eye-catching looks under the motto "Doll's Affair". The decade was undoubtedly a golden era for girl groups. These musical phenomena shaped pop culture and provided the soundtrack for an entire generation. They were loud, self-confident, successful, sexy and colorful. Even today, #girlpower is an essential part of the young generation. They were loud, self-confident, successful, sexy and colorful. Even today, #girlpower is an essential part of the young generation. Just as the Spice Girls were given nicknames with their personalities back then, L'IMAGE has also given each of its dolls a pseudonym that fans can identify with. Chris Vegas' Electric Doll (Wild Beauty), for example, was given spacy Bantu Knots. The many small buns shine with an extra portion of glitter and matching festival make-up. Marco Arena went a little darker: Because a 90s comeback can't be complete without grunge! The REDKEN artist created a ponytail with sophisticated braids on Louisa's head. The result is the Rough Doll, which lives up to its name. Janina Ehrenberg (Wella) created a glamorous high half-up ponytail on the champion head Denise. The glam doll exudes a touch of girlish charm, which is underlined by the champagne and mauve block strands. The Vivid Doll is more colorful: The 90s were characterized by bright colors and unusual hairstyles. So it's no coincidence that Yvonne Schmidt (frontlook Friseure) gave Tabea's head a retro texture trend. With creped hair and brightly colored highlights, it's clearly back to the roots! The hints of space buns make the look definitely party-ready. And this hairstyle is also an integral part of the 90s: the "Rachel" cut from the cult series "Friends". Now the haircut is back in a modern version. The so-called "Sachel" cut is a combination of Jennifer Aniston's iconic look with a shag cut. Horst Schmidt (also frontlook Friseure) created a multi-layered cut for Malin's practice head, giving the edgy doll a generous volume. Each head of the "Doll's Affair" girl group thus has its very own look and carries the hairy heritage in different ways.

Top Hair 2023
INTERNATIONAL GUESTS AND FURTHER HIGHLIGHTS
NEUSÄSS, APRIL 18, 2023 - THE TOP HAIR FAIR 2023 WITH L'IMAGE IS OVER AND WE LOOK BACK ON EXCITING DAYS FULL OF GREAT EXPERIENCES AND MEETING
Attending or even participating in Top Hair is an exciting event for anyone in the industry. But for two colleagues in our team it was even a bit more exciting - for them it was the first time they had the opportunity to talk face-to-face with customers and learn about their needs and wishes. This allows us to continuously develop and improve our products.
INSPIRATION FOR BRIDES-TO-BE
Olivia Mitrenga styled five extraordinary updos in advance for the big day, which looked down on visitors oversized on the back wall of the stand. In keeping with the theme "L'IMAGE SAYS YES", we dressed as wedding guests as a team: True to CI, in matcha latte green pantsuits. A special attraction at our booth was our Big Head, an imposing training head dressed as a bride. In combination with a photo station and funny gadgets, like glasses, sayings or similar, our customers could take funny and unique photos that reminded of a wedding celebration.
We attach great importance not only to offering our customers high-quality products, but also to surprising them with small attentions. The giveaway this time was a sleeping mask with the eyes of the training head Gigi printed on it. A nice reminder of Top Hair 2023.
In addition to old and appreciated bestsellers, we also had new heads in our luggage, which could convince with their hair quality on site.
INTERNATIONAL MEETINGS
At the Top Hair fair, we had the pleasure of welcoming the talented stylist Olivia Mitrenga to our booth. Olivia shared valuable tips and tricks for beautiful and elegant updos. The coaching was a real magnet for visitors. So big, in fact, that the police were watching the gathering of interested people.
And another highlight: the famous hairdresser and stylist Patrick Cameron visited our booth! Patrick Cameron is known worldwide for his creative and stunning hair stylings and has won numerous awards. He titled the TOP HAIR fair "one of the best fairs in the world".
With this in mind, we will also exhibit at Top Hair in March 2024. Because as a company, we feel responsibly for the hairdressing industry. We want to actively participate in the development of the industry and work for a better future, thus advancing the industry.
Bundeskongress der Lehrer im Berufsfeld Körperpflege e.V.
"TOGETHER, FOR EACH OTHER, TOGETHER MAKE A DIFFERENCE".
This year's Federal Congress turned a quarter of a century old! And of course this had to be celebrated: From 26 to 28 May 2022, around 60 teachers and personalities from industry and commerce met at the Hotel Kapellenberg in Eibelstadt, near Würzburg, for the 25th time. L'IMAGE Managing Directors Adina Alt and Gabriele Bürger were also on hand.
FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN L'IMAGE AND THE TRAINERS
But the two did not only participate, they gave a one-hour presentation themselves with the topic "Fascination Training Head - How is the training medium created?". The speakers thrilled the very well attended hall with many interested teachers on Friday noon. In their presentation they informed about the company L'IMAGE, especially about the team behind it, from the daily office routine and an exclusive outlook on the future of L'IMAGE. Furthermore, the CEOs spoke about the origin of hair, the creation and production of a training head and the care of just such a head. The information could be consolidated directly on the training media brought along and with interactive collaboration in the form of a memory. "A successful weekend!", Gabriele Bürger sums up. "The next congress will take place in Osnabrück in two years, and we will be happy to attend again."
