Adam has attended numerous L’Oréal training courses and seminars and has worked closely with his mentor Technical Director Mario on various shows, session and development projects, as such he has developed a vast and loyal clientele and prides himself both on his diversity and creativity. On completion of his L’Oréal Colour Degree, Adam was promoted to Deputy Technical Director, but now works part time as a guest artist so he can juggle his young family. His natural talents and unique colour skills help him ensure technical excellence across the colour department as well as still having a hand in assisting Mario with the innovation and development of new colour services.

His trademark method addresses both the regrowth issue and accentuates tones – creating a classic, fresh, natural look which is easy to wear and maintain.
