This issue, we sit down with Christopher Laird for our ‘In the Chair With’ feature – where we delve into his career – past, present and future. We also go across the pond, to meet Nikki Lee and Riawna Capri, owners of the iconic Nine Zero One Salon Hollywood. Our One 2 Watch of this edition is Annabel Payne. From starting in the salon at just 14, to now winning industry awards – Annabel’s career is only going to continue its stratospheric rise.
