First Principles: Styling 101 with Josh Congreve BUNDABERG

Josh Congreve is a Premier Hairdresser at Tognini’s and a former Australian FAME Team member. His work spans cutting, colour, and styling, with a strong focus on finish and how hair actually wears in the real world.

First Principles: Styling 101 focuses on the decisions that sit behind strong, repeatable styling.

This session slows things down and looks at what is happening as a style comes together. Sectioning, prep, heat, tension, tool choice, and product use are all shown in context, so you can see how each decision changes the result rather than just copying a finish.

Josh works through three salon styles you see and use every day, a glam blowout with volume, soft beachy waves that feel natural rather than overworked, and a messy bun that still has shape and intention. As each look is built, Josh talks through how he chooses and controls his tools, how products support the style, and how small adjustments shift texture, movement, and hold.

The focus is on making styling feel easier to repeat in the salon. Understanding how to adjust your approach when hair behaves differently and how to get consistent results without fighting it.

This is a practical session for stylists who want more confidence using tools and clearer control over their styling results.
