A firm believer that hair colouring goes hand in hand with hair maintenance, at just 15 years old his philosophy was that colouring should be viewed as an art form. Pre-empting the view that hair colour should be considered a beauty accessory, Christophe was the initiator behind using light and contrasting shades to bring out a woman’s complexion, eyes and skin. Opening his first salon in 1995, he was the first ever stylist to dedicate a studio to hair colouring. Responsible for Linda Evangelist’s constant colour changes and Kate Moss’ long standing, lustrous blonde locks Christophe has continued to build a celebrity clientele throughout the early years of his career.
