GARY’S EDIT
My kit is fundamental to the way I work. Every product, brush and
tool has been chosen because it's proven itself on set, backstage
and on countless shoots. Before every job, I meticulously go
through my kit to make sure I have everything I need - because
preparation is everything. These are the products I genuinely rely
on and couldn't imagine working without.

“This is my go-to brush for achieving the smoothest finish. Its compact bristle design provides really strong tension on the hair, eliminating any brush and comb marks for a smooth, seamless finish.”

“These nets are perfect! The balance of stretch and tension is just right. I love using them to mould the hair into shape. If the holes are too large, the net has too much stretch and you can't achieve the right tension. If they're too small, they don't allow enough product through to set the hair. Getting the right balance of hole size, strength and stretch is so important, and thankfully Session Kit found the perfect one and made it in black.”
