Collecties van Hans Beers Hair Stage
Hieronder worden de trendcollecties getoond die wij de afgelopen jaren maakten. Net als een modehuis kan een hairstylist trendcollecties maken die het komende modebeeld (mede) gaan bepalen. Onze collecties worden wereldwijd in de vakbladen gepubliceerd. (Zie https://hansbeers.com/publicaties/ )
Collection MINIMALISM - SS22
In these times of change and uncertainty, we go back to base.
What is life actually about?
Back to nature gives us the basic feelings that we, as humans, are looking for today. Nature represents both diversity and simplicity.
Natural hair and short haircuts are the latest trends. Short bangs, undercuts, and shorn parts contribute to showing a person’s individuality. Another style we often say these days is the disconnected haircut.
The collection shows a short crop, a disconnected pixie, a bowl cut, a bob, and a mullet.
The hair styling is basic and – at times – playful, like the small knots fastened with pins. The chosen colour palette is equally basal: absolute blond, golden yellow, red, and deep dark brown.
Our collection was inspired by the Italian composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi.
Collection OUTLAW - AW21
Collection UNDERGROUND - autumn/winter 2020
“Please mind the gab between Your Life & Your Dreams”
De collectie UNDERGROUND – AW20 kwam tot stand tijdens de wereldwijde coronacrisis van 2020, precies tussen twee lockdowns door. Mensen werden beperkt in hun bewegingsvrijheid. Het uitgaansleven en nachtleven kwam tot stilstand. Reizen werd ontmoedigd of verboden. Er heerste zowel begrip als onbegrip. Wat is het leven waard als het niet gevierd mag worden?
De drang om creatief te zijn overwon, in de maatschappij en bij ons team. Mind the Gap. Follow your Dreams. And don’t hide the Madness. Filmregisseur John Wa- ters schreef: “I like the word underground. Underground means a good time.” En de dichter Allen Ginsberg schreef: “Follow your inner moonlight; don’t hide the mad- ness.” Deze creatieve uitspraken stonden centraal in de UNDERGROUND AW20 collectie.
UNDERGROUND – AW20 is een sterkte collectie waar gedrufde, felle kleuren en gewaagde vormen te zien zijn. Er wordt gebruik gemaakt van veel knip- en kleur- technieken waardoor ieder kapsel iets unieks heeft. De collectie gaat over laten zien wie je bent. Verberg jezelf niet en durf uit die comfort zone te stappen. Show your colors, be proud and empower yourselves!
“Dominantie: eigenzinnig, onafhankelijk, fantasy, korte kapsels, opgeschoren texturen, beweging, kleur!

Collection BOLD - autumn 2020
Background information:
The BOLD collection by Hans Beers Hair Stage in Amsterdam is focused on the role that hair plays in someone’s life. Hans states that the ultimate shape of hair is no hair! And by “no hair” he means hair that is shaved to less than a millimeter.
BOLD was a fascinating project. It actually started with the wish of the model, Sharon, to have everything shaved completely off. Top stylist Hans Beers immediately saw the challenge in this request and informed the model that if she really wanted it, he would give her the clippers so she could shave the hair herself while he took the pictures.
The enthusiasm and excitement radiates from these images. It happened in next no time. Less than 1 millimeter of hair remained on her head.
Since creating a fade is quite the craftsmanship, Hans edited it a bit and then the make-up artist Annemieke Tip went to work. Her idea was to put some fake hair over her bald head. Besides being an all-round hairdresser, Hans also likes to be found behind the camera. He set up his own light for this shoot and did all the photography.
Thanks to the several prior special collaborations with Sharon, it came as no surprise that she can pose wonderfully and once again surpassed herself.
A Phoenix had risen, here stood a completely new figure, a creature from different times, with a radiance that leaves no one unmoved.
After the first session, the team decided to create a different look. As humble as the first variant was, as superior was the second. After Hans had edited the photos in black and white, a dose of mysticism was unmistakably added.
The shoot was wrapped up by placing a “tattoo” on Sharon’s neck, saying it all. “Human”. BOLD is a play on words. But it is indeed very daring. The BOLD collection was born.
Collection #MeToo - autumn/winter 2018
Being attractive doesn’t mean you are available to everyone
Women are not toys
