Loredana Danese and Thomas Laslo are truly hair icons . Thomas and Loredana have their own salon in Hasselt, Belgium, and take part in parallel activities such as photoshoots, parades, the creation of new collections, contests, shows, training...
Loredana learned the skills of a hairdresser from a young age. She is a multiple Belgian Champion and represented Belgium in Award shows all over the world; from Barcelona to Berlin, Milan, Düsseldorf, Moscow and Paris. As a master in updos, she loves creative hairstyles that reflects the personality of the client. Both love their craft in all its facets.
It’s not a surprise to find out Loredana’s zodiac sign is capricorn. Capricorns are very ambitious people, sympathetic, caring and patient. Did you know her name was created by the Italian author Luciano Zuccoli for his character in his novel ‘L’amore de Loredana’ (1908)? This Venetian name refers to a wood of laurels. Laurel is a symbol of victory, because of it’s permanent green color. That’s why it symbolises the eternity and is used as an attribute of the gods Apollo, Dionysus, Juno and Diana in ancient mythologies. Victors wore the laurel wreath, a use that is still common in the sports world. This story inspired me to draw laurels in her hair, combined with the colorfull flowers like Frida Kahlo used to wear, a celebration of their symbolism of fertility and fecundity.
