Jorge X, the innovative mind who co-founded X-Presion 20 years ago, continues to revolutionize the hairdressing industry through his latest project, Quantum Hair.
This groundbreaking initiative merges his passions for technology and hair artistry, establishing a new era of creativity and education. Quantum Hair seeks to redefine hairdressing through avant-garde techniques and a collaborative network of top-tier hairstylists across the globe. Recently, Jorge X (Jorge Cáncer) hosted Canadian hair icons Antonio Quintieri and Norm Wright at his Madrid studio, marking the beginning of a promising international alliance. Norm and Antonio join renowned hair colorist Monia Grieco from Montreal (Canada), another famed Canadian hair artist and educator who is already collaborating with Quantum Hair.
The Vision of Quantum Hair
Jorge X’s ambition for Quantum Hair transcends conventional boundaries. His project unites talented professionals worldwide under a shared ethos of innovation. “The vision is to build an international network of top hair artists from every country, allowing us to expand and share the innovative work and techniques we have developed over the years,” Jorge shared. This collaborative spirit not only amplifies Jorge’s techniques globally but cultivates an environment where artists grow and learn from each other, strengthening the brand’s influence and creative output.
The project has already brought in notable members like Rocky Villa from Berlin, Marcus Koehler from Darmstadt, Monia Grieco from Montreal, and Sofia Geideby from Stockholm. These partnerships echo Jorge’s belief that each artist contributes unique elements, enriching the team’s collective knowledge while staying true to Quantum’s visionary brand.
Canadian Expertise Joins Quantum Hair
Antonio Quintieri and Norm Wright’s recent visit to Madrid exemplifies the project’s reach and its commitment to elevating hair education. Quintieri, a distinguished educator with over 30 years of experience, shared his enthusiasm for the project: “I wanted to find something that could truly complement the precision hair cutting I’ve dedicated myself to. I don’t think there’s anything better than this precision coloring technique with pixel hair and the various innovative approaches we’ve explored this week.” His time at Quantum Hair not only expanded his artistic repertoire but sparked new educational opportunities that he plans to bring to the Canadian hairdressing community, promising an exciting future for stylists and clients alike. “This endeavor represents over a decade of hard work and dedication. We’re excited to bring innovative education to the world, and I’m incredibly proud to be a part of this momentous project,” Quintieri said.
Norm Wright, a veteran hair artist with four decades of expertise, described his experience as transformative: “This is my pilgrimage to Mecca. I feel like I gave birth to a digital baby… it’s the honor of my career, hands down.” For Wright, the week spent learning Quantum’s intricate methods was not just about mastering new techniques but also fulfilling a lifelong creative ambition. His deep respect for Jorge’s innovative mindset was clear: “To be able to spend six days with not only a visionary, but a humble, kind person… it’s epic.”
This collaboration is not only a professional milestone for Quintieri and Wright but a pivotal step for Quantum Hair’s expansion. The two Canadian stylists are set to spearhead Quantum’s educational programs in Canada, introducing advanced techniques to a new audience and amplifying their use on diverse platforms, from client work to fashion shows. “I’m going to definitely implement this under the Quantum brand… to make the looks even better, more fashion-forward,” Quintieri noted. Wright, too, envisions integrating pixel hair technique into avant-garde projects, merging traditional artistry with futuristic concepts inspired by Jorge’s pioneering work with AI.
The reciprocal nature of this partnership is vital. “It also pushes me… bringing pixel into an avant-garde concept made me curious about AI,” Wright mentioned, hinting at the cross-pollination of ideas that strengthens Quantum’s innovation pipeline. The shared goal is not just individual growth but collective enhancement of their craft, benefiting from each other’s skills and experiences.
Quantum Hair: Looking Ahead
Quantum Hair represents the future of hair artistry, where boundaries blur between disciplines, and technology becomes an ally in the pursuit of aesthetic revolution. With the inclusion of internationally renowned stylists like Antonio Quintieri and Norm Wright, Jorge X’s vision is set to become a global movement, inspiring professionals worldwide to redefine what is possible in the art of hairdressing. This project heralds a new chapter for hair professionals committed to pushing the limits of creativity. Quantum Hair is more than just a brand—it’s a community where innovation thrives, led by a team that understands that collaboration is the true source of artistic evolution.
Very recently, Jorge X was crowned Spanish Hairdresser of the Year at the prestigious Spanish Hairdressing Awards organized by Club Fígaro. This accolade came as recognition for his first hairdressing collection under the Quantum Hair project, solidifying his influence and groundbreaking contributions to the industry.
