In May 2018 salon owner and stylist Shoneez Warrington elevated Spoilt to inspired heights by hosting an entirely original show at Youngblood Art Gallery on Cape Town’s trending Bree Street.
Heavily invested in training and partnering with South Africa’s leading fashion and lifestyle brands, the likes of Cosmopolitan, Glamour and WomanOnline, Spoilt Hair & Nails showed off its creative flair with a bespoke celebration of hair as art. “The inspiration for our show was the love of art and hair,” Shoneez explains. “We were inspired to see if we could combine the two into an exhibition, which is what we achieved.”
As the first and only salon to bring fashion and hair styling together in quite this way illustrates Spoilt’s drive and passion to push boundaries and bring these two complementary disciplines together through collaboration. We haven’t heard of anyone doing a show like this,” Shoneez says. “Other salons do fashion shows, but they’re typically not theirs alone. This show was ours – from the original idea, right through to the final execution of the show.”
All the creations shown were fashioned by Shoneez’ talented team, from outfits right through to hair, every aspect was overseen and tailored to perfection. Partnerships being key to Spoilt Salon Hair & Nails, make-up artists gorgeous2go collaborated on the night to help add the finishing touches to each of the model’s looks. “We have an impeccable reputation for maintaining longstanding relationships and enjoy high client retention, all of which sets us apart,” Shoneez confirms.
“The aim was to show off our creative side,” she adds. “It’s not something we do at Spoilt every day, so it was great to showcase what we can do. The event was also a wonderful way to bring in teambuilding too. It definitely took lots of team work for the show to be the success it was.”
As for how the reveal was received by all invited, Shoneez definitely saw the night as a success. “Our guests were absolutely amazed,” she corroborates. “The gallery has also kept our garments to show as part of their current exhibition.”
With a promise of more like-styled events to come from Spoilt, Shoneez and her team are already hard at work conceptualising their inspirations.
