Hair Artist

GIGI

Hair as art. Colour as poetry. Every head a canvas, every balayage a love letter.

The Artist

Giuseppe "Gigi" Di Rosa

Balayage artist and colour educator, currently based at Palette & Bristle, with roots stretched between the pastel light of Brighton and the sun-worn gold of Sicily.

Gigi treats every client the way a painter treats a fresh canvas, with patience, restraint, and an eye trained on the way light moves through hair. The work is technical, but the intention is always romantic: hair that looks lived-in, sun-touched, and entirely your own.

"Colour should feel like a memory of summer: never forced, always earned."

Signature Techniques

Specialties

French grey blending balayage

French Grey Blending

A soft, dimensional approach to greying hair, easing silver and white through with natural, root-smudged transitions rather than solid coverage.

Blonde balayage

Blonde Balayage

Delicate, face-framing balayage inspired by effortless Parisian colour: soft roots, buttery mid-lengths, and imperceptible regrowth.

Men's colour and textured crop

Men's Colour

Low-maintenance dimension and lived-in blonde built into a sharp, textured crop, colour work that moves with the cut.
