Local hairstylists certified in customized cuts

Melanie Wingate and Theresa Maksymow, hairstylists at Pure Bliss Salon and Spa in Lewes, are using mathematical formulations to create haircuts customized to their clients’ head shapes.

Wingate and Maksymow successfully completed a five-day, hands-on Head Shape Matters course in Tampa, Fla., becoming two of only 200 people worldwide to be certified in this system of hair cutting.

“In 2008, I had an eye-opening experience while working behind the chair,” said HSM creator Kim Weaver Moore. “Two clients came in with the same picture and wanted identical haircuts, I cut each one exactly the same, but the haircut shape looked different on each of them. The only thing that was different was the shape of each client’s head.”

After four years immersed in intense research, Moore developed a system to assess a client’s individual head shape and create a formula that results in flawless, customized haircuts. In 2015, Moore was awarded a U.S. patent on the system.

“I’m so excited to be able to bring this revolutionary system to my clients,” said Wingate. “Because each haircut is formulated exclusively for them, I can re-create it exactly, every time, if they choose.”

"I am thrilled that I can replicate any cut and duplicate it every time with the HSM cutting system," said Maksymow."When a client asks me to ‘do what you did last time,’ yes, I can really do it."

“It was exciting to watch Melanie and Theresa master the HSM system at certification. I’ve followed them closely since, and I am so impressed by the quality of their work” said Moore.
