    Ohlala talks to acclaimed Celebrity Colourist, George
    Papanikolas, a regular guest colourist at Purple Patchouli
    Salon and Spa alongside spotlighting their other
    international specialists.

    As one of the hottest and most sought-after colourists in Hollywood and now the world, George Papanikolas
    - Matrix Celebrity Colourist, is recognised as one of the U.S.’s top Colourists and travels across the U.S. teaching his
    magical balayage techniques. He has worked with many of Hollywood ‘it’ girls-including - Kim, Khloe and Kourtney
    Kardashian, Madonna, Britney Spears, Hailey Baldwin, Shay Mitchell, Paris Jackson, Nicole Richie, Miranda Kerr,
    Sara Michelle Gellar, Jenna Dewan Tatum, and that’s just to name a few...
    When did you realise that hair was your passion and how did it develop into your career? How did you get into this industry?
    I always had a passion for doing hair. My mother wanted me to go to hair school when I was a teenager but I was afraid
    of getting picked on so I didn’t do it. It wasn’t until I was in my mid 20s and having met a lot of celebrity hairdressers
    that I realized you could make a career out of this. Everything took off really quickly for me despite having to do a lot
    of work to get to where I’m at, but, it has always been really fun and when you love what you do it doesn’t feel like work.
    What’s the easiest way for Ohlala readers to take their hair from a day in the office to happy hour and still look great?
    Taking into consideration the humidity we face in the Kingdom of Bahrain…
    Playing with texture is the best way to play with your look and take it from day to night. Tying it up into a loose chignon
    during the day allows you to naturally get loose waves when you take it down at night.
    Which hair product should every lady covet?
    Moisture is key for healthy hair. Natural oils are probably my favourite way to hydrate the hair the night before
    you wash it, such as matrix biolage raw oil.
    What is your #1 hair care tip?
    Keeping your highlights within four shades of your natural hair colour. This keeps the hair at its best condition and
    is the most flattering on your skin. Going any lighter or darker than four shades can be harsh and can compromise
    the integrity of your hair.
    Tell us what you love about Bahrain and Purple Patchouli.
    The thing I love about Bahrain and Purple Patchouli is that the girls really make me feel like family. They have a great
    attention to fashion and style and are adventurous with their looks.
