The Valencian Javier Gomar practices the profession from what he considers his creative temple, his salon, Javier´s Blade. A place in which, with freedom and specialization, connects clients with his image, though he is always open to going where he is required or needed. He fell in love with the profession when he discovered the amazing transformative power that hair exerts on image and mood. The three adjectives with which he describes himself, "squaring, cleanliness and design", show a particular vision of hairdressing in which curiosity about the processes and possible results impels him to advance and break his own limits. Besides, he has made the phrase "Imagination is more important than knowledge" his motto to continue exploring what is to be born, to unveil the novel messages with which hair can surprise and shape a new reality that is ready to be created, opposed to what is already known and pre-established.
