Advanced methods in hairdressing shown to city salons

In Christchurch to demonstrate advanced hairdressing- techniques, at the seminar, was ' past New Zealand National Champion, Mr Peter Zidich. Mr Zidich demonstrated, to the audience, such specialised techniques as those employed in corn row plaiting, and long and short hair geometric and asymmetric curling and design.

As . well as being a past New Zealand champion. Mr- Zidich was a member of New Zealand's World Clip Hairdressing team that competed in Dusseldorf, West Germany in 1978.

" :P,eter has had, 16 years experience in hairdressing.

He initially did his training in Wellington, where he opened his first salon. Rut he is now based in Auckland, where he has established a second salon.

According to Mr Zidich, he learnt mainly by watching others. . “I gained a great deal ’ of- experience .while. ob-; serving various. techniques during overseas trips,” said Mr Zidich.'. ■ ' • - <-

“I have been involved in competitive hairdressing for the past six years — quite simply because I enjoy the challenge and can create the type of work that cannot be normally achieved in the salon.” Mr Zidich also feels the hairdresser, through competitive work, gains a greater understanding of every aspect of the hair structure and so understands how best to work with each individual client. The stress and strain of competitions also develops a necessary self-discipline, he says. Peter Zidich Hair Can* Salons use Kadus products constantly and Mr Zidich feels the products play an important part in his hairdressing.

He feels that the introduction of such products .as Kadus, into New Zealand, adds greatly to the future of the country’s hairdressing. “Kadus aids creativity and enables the hairdre;ser to go that much further,”, says Mr Zidich.
