We have one of Aquage’s legendary educators, Lala Todorovic, in our classroom this Monday for three amazing classes (see flier here: 2014 Aquage Lala Event).

FAB 4 CUTTING EVENT:  Haircuts to Love, Learn and Live On 

 MUSE STYLING EVENT

 GEOMETRIX CUTTING EVENT:  The Art of Graduation

Why Aquage?  Because:

• The products WORK!
• Their education is UNSURPASSED.
• Aquage is dedicated to the independent salons (no national salon chains or retail stores)
• Aquage was built by hairdressers, for hairdressers, and is still owned and run by hairdressers
• They successfully and aggressively FOUGHT DIVERSION AND WON!  No other manufacturer has put this much effort into keeping their products off the shelves of HEB than they have.  Please help support them to keep sending messages to manufacturers that stylists care and won’t tolerate diversion!

Wella fans…   Colorists…   Artists…   Wella is launching an amazing new product that will change the way you multidimensionally color.  Color ID will allow Wella color users to apply color next to color WITHOUT foils, WITHOUT bleeding, unleashing your creativity.  Color ID will speed up your color application time while creating a captivating client experience.

WELLA 2014 SPRING/SUMMER COLLECTION:  UNDONE

Are you looking for an advanced color class that emphasizes actual color, not a brand?  We have the class for you! The Self Tour of Haircolour is a Scruples Academy event that they are taking on the road!  And we are one of the privileged locations they have picked to host this event.

The Self Tour of Haircolour walks you through how to look at a client’s skin color, eye color, bone structure and face shape to determine how you should approach hair color.  This two-day academy class is awesome, approved by Modern Salon (read review here), and is only available for 10 stylists.  Sign up TODAY!!!

Scruples Self-Tour of Haircolour:

As early as the first day of beauty school, professionals are taught the importance of establishing a relationship with clients—knowing how to generate clear and open communication is key in developing a relationship where the client feels heard, at ease and satisfied with the visit—and it all starts with the consultation.

“Many colorists fall into the ‘fast food hairdressing’ trap—they skip the consultation, grab the swatch book, tell clients to pick out their color and they put it on,” says Amie Breckenridge Goltz, Director of Field Education and Scruples Academy. “What happens when the client is unhappy with the outcome? You hold up the book and say, ‘Well this is the color you picked out. See it’s exactly the same color as the swatch.’ We need to get rid of the fast food mentality and enter fine dining. ‘Let me walk you through our specials. Do you like fish? May I suggest the salmon?’ Clients are looking to you to know what’s best.”

But the challenge is selecting what’s best—and, Breckenridge Goltz says, that shouldn’t be determined by what colors are attractive out of a swatch book. Breckenridge Goltz says colorists should have a step-by-step procedure to determine how to customize formulas, placement, application and tonal family so every client leaves satisfied every visit.

Scruples’ Self-Tour of Haircolor is a two-day hands-on program with mannequins that teaches how to understand each client’s personality and individual characteristics, enabling them to create the perfect color service.
