Nine Yards: Meet The Founders
Nine Yards UK hosted a fantastic afternoon on April 14th at Manchester’s Dirty Martini, with an introduction to the Swedish founders of the Nine Yards brand, Robin Dubitzkij and Kristoffer Skott.
90 attendees enjoyed a fizz reception and the famous Dirty Martini cocktails with Ambassador insight into how the brand was conceived and developed, future plans, and a live session from educator Milla Kvick, who’s part of the Swedish Nine Yards team with many years as a stylist, colourist and avant-garde artist.
Live styling sessions included Katy Grimshaw working with her Spectrum One extensions brand and focused on the benefits of Nine Yards for styling and maintaining hair with extensions. Barrie Stephen gave a super motivational talk about his career spanning 30 years and how Nine Yards is the perfect brand to align with his business and ethics.
Abigail Constanza demonstrated a Rachel Green inspired 90’s style while SBS Creative Director Nira Stahlberg demonstrated a big bouncy look on Kitty Mir.
The ticket price of £25 included a selection of cocktails, goodie bag and a £5 charity donation to Motor Neurone Disease Association. Sam Griffiths, Co-founder and Director of Salon Business Solutions/Nine Yards UK said, “The Nine Yards event in Manchester showed off the hairdressing industry at its best: fun, laughter, business, education and many exciting 2024 new launches. We were keen to showcase what hairdressers want and need with outstanding artists and speakers Barrie Stephen, Katy Grimshaw, Abigail Constanza, Kitty Mir, Nira Stahlberg and Milla Kvick.”
