Can you a brief about your experience and passion for the hairdressing industry?
It is all because my parents were hairdressers. I have always worked in this, and I am already 53 years old. In addition, at the beginning I worked with them in a salon during the day, and I took a double shift at night with my clients with styles that were punk and heavy. That time, it didn’t fit into women’s hairdressing salons . From this, I could tell you a thousand anecdotes, a thousand styles all related to hairdressing and/or barbering from my beginnings until today, where those who were great idols of mine have awarded our team with prizes and also have become friends.

Why did you decide to create face masks out of hair?
We were preparing a new collection, eagerly, and the confinement placed us on standby. We all had the tools, material and half-done jobs at home, and zooming in made me want to spread the work, and to also show something without models without it being finished. And this idea came up.

What sparked the idea?
I don’t know, but different inputs. Maybe a girl on the street with a mask made out of a jeans pocket.

How long did it take you to create the face masks?
Two weeks.

How was the feedback so far?
Very good, people liked it a lot.

What are you working on next?
In our collection, we have already set up, which could be a continuation from the two previous ones of Trenesis.

Thank you for taking part in this interview. Is there anything you would like to add or share with our readers that we haven’t covered?
It was a very simple production, with no clothes, assistants, make-up, models photographer, making of or video assistance (The hairdressers modelled the work themselves). In every moment, we were just 3 people, with all the measures – in silence. I was very curious but at the same time we were all very happy and motivated. For those of us who participated, it helped us a lot to free our minds in a moment when it was a luxury to get to do it amid so much bad news, and even more, doing what we like most.
