Foil Me Launches Collaboration with Kaine Vakai Hair Artistry | Style Icons

Australian foils brand Foil Me has teamed up with Kaine Vakai and Ayden Hawkins of Kaine Vakai Hair Artistry on an enticing collaboration, titled The Love Letter. Ideally timed for Valentine’s Day, and representing the love Kaine and Ayden share, the foil was designed by Foil Me’s CEO and Creative Director, Emily Ciardiello, and created by Graphic Designer, Chelsea Winter.

“Kaine and I are beyond thrilled to share our collaboration with Foil Me! ’The Love Letter’ is a culmination of our experiences in business and in life,” Ayden said. “We want hair industry professionals to keep inspiring themselves through their artistry and remember what great impact we have on people and the way they feel. ‘The Love Letter’ represents our love as partners in life and work, for each other and our business. We hope for this collection to hold its own meaning for you and help to inspire more beautiful creativity in our industry!”

The foil design involved two alternating aesthetics in each box, with one in luxurious illustrated pink marble and the other featuring hand-written affirmations. The foils combine the brand’s signature embossing with their exclusive foil composition for quality applications in style. The foil is available in The Original, The Wide and The Extra sizes.

“I absolutely LOVED that Kaine and Ayden came to me to design their very special foil that reflects both their salon tone and aesthetic, and the love they have for the hairdressing industry and each other,” Emily said. “The hand drawn pink marble with flecks of metallic dark pink and red symbolises the elements of love and fun in both hairdressing and relationships. The ‘letter’ around the foil box is hand-written to ensure the personal touch of how much Kaine Vakai, Ayden and Foil Me value and respect hairdressers and the affirmations on the foil sheet are for the beautiful artists out there who may just need some inspiration and a reminder of the wonderful and talented people they are.”

This foil collection is also a first for Foil Me where we wanted two different sheets in one box so when they are applied together, they are complete – like Ayden and Kaine – two different people, who, when put together, they complement each other. So, this Valentine’s Day and beyond, we hope you love and enjoy creating with this very special collaborative foil,” she added.
