SHOW
"One Life" Show for Wella
From the moment we are born, the world teaches us to follow a path, to obey the rules, and to meet the expectations of others. But there comes a time when the greatest freedom is the freedom to choose our own path. Daring to believe in our dreams, making a living from our passion, and creating without limits is undoubtedly the greatest achievement of all. This show is an invitation to listen to that inner voice that pushes us forward, to overcome our fears, and to turn our dreams into reality. Because true freedom begins the moment we choose to fully become who we are meant to be.
1:00 p.m. – 1:40 p.m.

WORKSHOW
"Beauty Consultations Through Morphopsychology: When Hairstyle and Color Become a Language and an Emotion."
Morpho-visagism, a registered trademark of Contreras Academy, is not simply the study of the face. It is a sensitive interpretation of what a face reveals. Its shapes, curves, lines, and balance… All of these can tell us about temperament, strength, gentleness, personality, and sometimes even a person’s story. That’s why we also draw on morphopsychology: it allows us to better understand what a person naturally radiates, so we can create a hairstyle that isn’t just aesthetically pleasing, but one that truly resonates with who they are. Morpho Color Coaching: When Color Becomes an Emotion Color, too, tells a story. It’s not simply a shade chosen from a color chart. It can warm, soothe, reveal, and enhance… It touches on the emotional, the intimate—what we feel and what we wish to convey. In Morpho Color Coaching, we naturally observe skin tone, eyes, eyebrows, and the face’s natural contrasts, but we also go beyond appearance to take into account the person’s energy and personality. Because two women can have the same skin tone and yet not wear the same color in the same way. Ultimately, my approach is based on a simple idea: beauty isn’t about transforming a person, but about revealing what’s already there. Through hairstyling and color, I want to show that it’s possible to create a true connection between the image we see in the mirror and the person we truly are deep down.
