For designer Thom Browne’s off-season show in New York City, R+Co guest artist James Pecis collaborated with a team of R+Co global educators and stylists to create playful, avant-garde finishes that complement Thom Browne’s high-fashion, theatrical collection. Link in bio for more ✨
“R+Co has so many different styling products that are meant to be used backstage, so we can achieve these extreme looks,” James says. “This is not a simple natural look—this is very extreme so we need products like VICIOUS Strong Hold Hairspray that we know will hold the hair in place.”
Each of the 50+ models had their own, unique placement and design—no two looks were identical. Models walked the teddy bear-drenched runway either sporting a ponytail adorned with geometric spheres or wearing a hat in a similar, bulbed silhouette.
To get the look, hair was first prepped with R+Co BLEU Highest Volumizing Mousse, applied section by section beginning in the nape.
Hair was then combed and, working in one-inch sections, a combination of R+Co VICIOUS Strong Hold Flexible Hairspray and R+Co OUTER SPACE Flexible Hairspray was saturated over the section with a goal to keep the hair tight against the head as the foundation for the spheres.
Hair was pressed flat against the head, contoured with the grain, and secured at the nape with an elastic. The lengths of the hair were braided, and R+Co BLEU Highest Volumizing Mousse was used to control any flyaways.
The prepared balls were then anchored to the head by placing hairpins at the base to secure.
“This show is the perfect juxtaposition of high fashion, theater and playful elements,” says R+Co Global Educator Ania Lisikiewicz. “I feel lucky to help create such a monumental experience.

6 hours x $125 = $750
⚠️This year, I stopped charging for services, and charged for time. To some people this may seem like a lot, and I know there’s people that will say “I could get this done for 150”, “that’s way too much”, “I would never charge somebody this” To those people, amazing if you can go to somebody that’s cheaper(I’m sure they do great work too), if you don’t want to charge that much then 👏👏, if it’s way too much that’s okay too..,I know it’s a lot. Here’s why I charge hourly 👇🏻
⚠️ I value my time, I know it’s worth more than what I’m charging. I’ve spent years of my life going through education, I’ve spent 10s of thousands of dollars educating myself. I went through two years of hair school, a 2 year apprenticeship, spent half a year in New York learning Tigi’s color system. I go out of my way to take classes, including online videos of my friends who Inspire me. I’m difficult to get in with because I travel for multiple brands. I take two people a day MAX because I want my clients to have 100 percent of me without interruption.
⚠️ Charging hourly also makes it easier for clients who are coming in for short services! Not to mention everything we need as hairdressers has sky rocketed in price, so charging what we use to will destroy us. If the world around us is becoming more expensive than we need to change with it. I’m extremely grateful that my clients are so supportive of me and without hesitation let me know I was worth the price change. I love every single one of them so much and I’m so thankful
