The first of the salons, Ramani Fernando salons featured design concepts and styling of cuts and up-do's. The models in black or white wore short hair that was styled and coloured.
Rumours displayed colour sculptures of hair in different lengths.

Textured scapes was Ramzi and Team's concept. With models dressed in black and white stripes they featured long hair in braids and perms, twists and curls.
