  • Started by Benjamin Dessange’s mum, CEO of Dessange, at the time press attaché of Brigitte Bardot, the partnership with the Cannes Film Festival has continued for more  than 50 years. At the time, the buns of the iconic French actress were red hot and highly sought after.

    Since then, Meg Ryan’s bob,  Sharon Stone’s short haircut or even Scarlett Johansson's French twist, created without hairpins, are famous around the world.

    This year, from 11 to 22 may, more than 1000 meetings will be organized by the team of the Dessange studio. The challenge: less than thirty minutes to create a dream hairstyle while the model is simultaneously being prepared for dresses, jewels, etc.

  • “ I had to create a hairstyle in the lift of a famous hotel of the Croisette between the 7th floor and the ground floor” one hairdresser explained.

    In the team, about 20 hairdressers are totally dedicated to stars from early the morning to late the night. Among the created hairstyles, most of the chignons require an amazing know-how in terms of tie. To ensure the chignon holds on, despite the bad weather,  remains a daily challenge.

    This year, four new hairstyles were chosen by Dessange in order to illustrate estheticism, tendency and technical skills.

    From Monday, we will reveal the hairdressing tutorials Dessange !

  • Finally, for a Cannes dinner, the Attache Nouée, created by Claudia Zocco, revisits the bun but in rock version.  The series of elegant bows on the top of the head contrasts with the very straight hair on the temple.

  • In order to symbolize the arrival at the hotel, the Flave (association of Flat and Wavy) was created by Stéphane Bodin, Cannes consultant for Dessange.  A very natural look, the Flave requires an expert in terms of hairdressing.
