| 6th August 2015
Two of the biggest names in British Hairdressing, Paul Windle and Neil Moodie, are launching an exciting collaboration with Manchester’s renowned stylist, Reuben Wood.
Creative director Neil Moodie has worked with some of the most prestigious fashion houses in the world, such as: Gucci, Armani, Hugo Boss, La Perla, Y3, Vivienne Westwood and Burberry – and developed the Windle & Moodie high end hair styling range in 2014.
With DJ VIVAEms providing chilled background beats, VIVA enjoyed attending a VIP hair styling masterclass organised by leading PR firm Vital Management & Publicity with the hairdressing elite. Stylist to the stars, Neil Moodie demonstrated how the new Windle and Moodie Products can be used to create flawless hair styles and striking looks.
The brand has been so successful in just one year, it is now being launched within some of the finest hair salons in the country, and the brand chose Reuben Wood Creatives, in Manchester’s thriving Northern Quarter, to be the first in England.
The award winning Windle & Moodie salon has been in Covent Garden for 26 years. Neil has worked with renowned photographers including Paulo Roversi, Mario Testino and Juergen Teller, and A-list stars such as: Kate Moss, Drew Barrymore, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johannsen and Demi Moore.
Neil said: “We are delighted to be collaborating with Reuben Wood. We are an independent brand for independent salons, and Reuben Wood Creatives is our ideal partner.
They appreciate the quality of the Windle & Moodie professional products. Reuben has a very strong background in hairdressing from working and training at one of the best hair companies in the world, plus he has strong editorial experience from assisting some of the biggest names in the industry. Our partnership has massive and long-term potential.
“For the VIP event I will be doing a master-class, and I will be demo-ing a mixture of new looks for A/W 15, plus some iconic hairstyles I’ve created in the past, showing how Windle & Moodie products perform.”
Reuben Wood added: “I met Neil through his business partner Paul Windle around the time we opened our first salon in Manchester years and years ago. I was inspired by their salon ethos, and their talented approach to hairdressing and have been a fan ever since.
“Neil Moodie’s session work is so impressive and artistic, and I’m very excited to welcome him to our creative studio for his master-class to showcase his Windle & Moodie products.
“He is at the top of our industry, and has travelled the world creating beautiful and interesting hair for countless shows , campaigns and editorial shoots.
“Now Windle & Moodie have launched this fantastic product range, Neil can give us a insight into what products he uses and why.
“I love using the products, my favourite is the Invisible Day and Night Cream, and have many of them in my session kit which I will be taking to Paris Fashion Week in September.
“The product range is simple and affordable, our clients love it as do we, and there is something for everyone’s hair.”
