Mr Leopold History.
The paraphrased caption says: Leopold has been working closely with the French hairdressers for over three years. Gone are the London hard lines of yesteryear, with a wash shake and a brush the french look is achieved and is more ideal for our Australian way of life. Leopold and staff have studied these French techniques very carefully which has opened new horizons to be able to bring the feminine and masculine french look to Melbourne. Also, Leopold was the first to present to Melbourne the dolly haircut as shown in the two-page ad from The Australian Women's Weekly on June 9th 1971.
During these early times at Leopold salon, we worked with photographer Helmut Newton, Bruno Benini, Vogue magazine, The Steve Vizard Show, and many interesting projects. And for myself, I have worked since the 80s with personality Pam Abelin, image consultant and clothing colourist. For those who remember their first encounter with us, your colouring was either warm, autumn and spring or cool winter and summer tones. This was such an added bonus to your hairdressing experience.
