Skewing the lines between a hairdressing editorial and visual art, Painted Ladies, the new collection from ARROJO master stylist, Amanda Jenkins, stands for psychedelia-inspired, polychromatic creative edge.

A psychedelic experience is characterized by perception of things previously unknown. Amanda’s intense colors and swirling abstract patterns expand the consciousness: A hairdresser creating more than just hairstyle; a hairdresser blending many artistic disciplines –– graphic and fashion design, decorative art, photography, the principles of architecture, avant-garde styling –– to engender sensory stimulation from colors, shapes, people.

The hairstyles span the gamut of the cool and creative. A blonde synthetic wig, set on extra small perm rods, then steamed and brushed out, is graphic and bold. A human hair wig, pre-colored to orange, razor-cut, and set in a figure eight shows the beauty and grace of texture. A classic round graduation shows the power of a perfectly rounded, aggressively feminine shape. The tantalizing deep-set bangs of the razor-cut bowl is a vivid interpretation of a sixties classic. The classic one-length cut makes strength and structure edgy and hip. 

Employed to frame to each models' look, the polychrome blush reflects the hallucinatory nature of the counterculture decade. Making each ‘Painted Lady’ an image of psychedelic fashion and beauty, it is the essence of this colorful collection.
