Learning from the Gurus
Jamal completed his professional education at a private beauty academy. while working at the beginning of his career at one of the top salons in Beverly Hills, his clientele consisted mainly of film and television celebrities. However, Jamal found that he was yearning to push himself creatively.
As a result, he began doing test shoots with photographers, assembling a body of image-based work that positioned him to move into the world of editorial, fashion, film, and runway work around the world.
Jamal credits his training in Paris from the highly-respected hair guru, Odile Gilbert, as one of his most valuable professional experiences. Around the same time, Jamal met Louis Licari, widely considered one of the most accomplished hair colourists in the world. Their meeting was a timely blessing, and Licari introduced Hammadi to Linda Evangelista. The two of them clicked immediately and shortly thereafter, Evangelista flew Jamal to London to work with her on the cover of British Vogue. They've worked together ever since. Jamal's signature product line, Hammadi Beauty, is a line of luxurious, 100% organic products made with 100% organic essential oils and plant extracts.
