Kseniya Sukhova is a Moscow-based hairstylist and colourist and one of the first people who have successfully mastered rainbow ‘Glitch’ or ‘Prism’ hair. Thin stripes of all colours of the rainbow are applied to the hair horizontally and the edges are slightly blended, which will result in a look that is not dissimilar to an oil slick on a street. The dyes she uses are UV reactive too, so her customers leave the salon with a new hairdo that catches everyone’s eyes in both day light, and black light.


How and when did you become a hair stylist? This is a long story, it all started when I was a kid and I would style my own hair and dye my mother’s hair, but I only realised I wanted to work with hair when I was 19 and while working as a flight attendant! At one point, I quit, dyed my hair blue, pierced my nose and went to study hairdressing! The first training really upset me because the information was obsolete and of poor quality. I took a break for a couple of years and started looking for information myself, on the Internet, in books, everywhere! So, when I was 24, I realised that healthy colourful hair was exactly what I wanted to do and nothing can stop me. Now, six years later, I know I made the right choice.
