About Randolph Gray

Randolph’s involvement with Revlon Professional Products began over nine years ago when he was spotted working as a freelance technician in a prestigious salon in Covent Garden, London. Since then, his role in the company has developed into that of an essential technical and advisory link between the hairdresser in the salon and the internal infrastructure of the company where this extraordinary range of specialist and Professional haircare products are masterminded. In particular, Randolph helps to educate hairdressers worldwide not just in Afro Hair but also Caucasian. As an individual, Randolph is an extremely approachable guy with a zany sense of humour and a wholehearted, sincere willingness to help and advise regarding the specialist haircare ranges that The Colomer Group offers: “As with all products which perform a specific function, there is always the technical and the artistic aspect to consider, explains Randolph. In many cases, the artistic side of the job is only restricted by the extent of a stylist’s own creative ability. Unfortunately, technical ability cannot be so easily defined - it requires careful training by specialist teachers. This is something that The Colomer Group takes extremely seriously.”

From a creative and inspirational point of view, the best advice Randolph can give is to keep your finger well on the pulse of hairdressing trends: “We have seen remarkable changes in African-Caribbean styles recently”, he says. “Girls are going for far more natural looks rather than the “rigid” effect of days gone by. This doesn’t necessarily mean excluding wefts, weaves and extensions - the important criteria is that the overall look remains natural and free. We’ve all been getting more adventurous with colour as well, which is certainly a plus point, particularly for clients who wish to adopt a more flamboyant look.”
