When two of the most prominent names in creative hairdressing —Carlos Valiente and Steven Smart— join forces, the result is nothing short of extraordinary.
Brave & Smart / Smart & Brave is the new collection born from the collaboration between Carlos Valiente, a leading figure in Spanish hairdressing, and Steven Smart, one of the UK’s most influential talents. Created in Valencia and masterfully captured by renowned photographer Esteban Roca, this visual proposal celebrates the power of sharing, learning, and growing together.
The collection not only stands out for its flawless technique and bold aesthetic vision but also for the spirit of collaboration that brought it to life. The artistic teams of Salones CV by Carlos Valiente and Smartest 73 by Steven Smart worked side by side, proving that when talent, experience, and passion merge, the limits of creative hairdressing are pushed further than ever before.
Brave & Smart is more than just a collection: it is a manifesto on the importance of openness, collaboration, and joining forces in a constantly evolving industry. In a world where inspiration knows no borders, this union between Spain and the UK is proof that sharing talent not only multiplies results but also inspires the entire industry to dream bigger.
