Having been thoroughly shocked by Candy Magazine’s male model in bondage shoot earlier in the year, the team at Talent Management thought we’d seen our fair share of gimp masks for a while.

But, while casually checking out the looks from 2012’s Alternative Hair Show, we were intrigued so see Saco’s hair models channelling an S&M meets Mary Queen of Scots look.

While this isn’t quite as controversial as the Candy shoot, we were still loving the combination of unusual hairdos by the Saco stylists with the strange black make up that seems to resemble gimp masks.

During the evening, held at the Royal Albert Hall in London over the weekend, Saco was joined by some of the world’s fellow hairdressing legends who also showed the audience their exquisite work.

Each participating team showing during the evening interpreted the show’s theme ‘Legends’ in a personal and creative way.

But we have to hand it to Saco; their looks really made an impact among a sea of hair models, and without a doubt, we were inspired, enthralled and entertained!
