SAMUEL COLE SALON PREPARES “STRUT” MODELS FOR TWO NIGHTS ON THE TOWN

strutApril 22, 2008 (RALEIGH, NC) – When the models came out to play during “Meet the Models,” two Raleigh events to help promote STRUT ’08, they offered more than a preview of the haute couture expected on the runway on Saturday, May 3, in North Hills. They also offered an up-close look at the hair design and make-up artistry of the award-winning stylists at Samuel Cole Salon, the official salon for STRUT ’08.

To promote the show — which will feature national fashion designers with Raleigh roots, as well as local designers and boutiques, music and dance performances — STRUT ’08 models appeared in two Raleigh nightclubs. On Friday, April 18, they joined the party at Buckhead Saloon in downtown Raleigh. On Friday, April 25, they were “strutting” their stuff at Oliver Twist in North Raleigh (8111 Creedmoor Road) from 10 p.m. to midnight.

The salons’ stylists were going for a “club chic” look for these two events, according to Joelle and Jack Ray, owners and master stylists of Samuel Cole Salon.

“We worked with each model to develop strong texture, volume and movement for his or her individual hair type,” said Joelle, whose expertise in hair and make-up has been featured on Modern Salon Media’s “FirstChair.com” and “BehindTheChair.com” websites. “The look we were after for these night-on-the-town events was ‘ready to party’ — fun, wild, and sexy.”

To achieve that look, the stylists used Bumble & bumble “Spray de Mode” hair spray to “maximize texture yet leave a touchable finish,” she said. They also used B&b Hair Power, an aerosole styling powder, for volume and fullness. The powder extends the life of a blow-dry style by absorbing excess oil and providing a dry, matte texture, “and it provides an amazing amount of fullness and volume,” Joelle said. “It’s like back-coming in a can.”

Samuel Cole Salon are Bumble & bumble network salons. Samuel Cole Salon has been featured in Salon Today, American Salon, Estetica, and Metro Magazine. For the past three years, the salon has received “Best Salon” and “Best Salon for Color” accolades from Citysearch, and the “Metro Bravo” award for Best Salon in the region from Metro.

Raleigh Salon Owners Judge National Salon Décor Competition

SamuelCole08_900x600April 09, 2008 (RALEIGH, NC) – Jack and Joelle Ray, the husband-and-wife team behind Samuel Cole Salon in North Raleigh, recently served as judges to help select the 2008 “Salons of the Year” winners, a national salon décor competition sponsored by Salon Today magazine.

The Rays were asked to help judge this year’s winners after Samuel Cole Salon — remodeled and enlarged last year — received the magazine’s 2007 First Runner Up honor, placing second only to the grand-prize winner, Frederic Fekkai’s new salon in New York City.

The “Salons of the Year” competition focuses on new and newly remodeled salons. The magazine’s panel of editors and art directors evaluate all the entries and narrow the field down to 20 salons.

The judges then view seven to 10 photos of each remaining entry and score them in six décor categories: (1) use of color, (2) lighting, (3) flooring, (4) efficient use of space, (5) consistency of design, and (6) overall aesthetics. The salon with the highest score is the grand-prize winner and will be featured on Salon Today’s June cover. The next highest score is first runner-up. The second, third and fourth runners-up follow the same progression. The remaining salons are designated “Salons of Distinction.”

“Judging was lots of fun as well and it was an honor to be asked participate,” said Joelle Ray. “The process was more difficult than we thought it would be because there were many unique, interesting, and innovative designs to choose from.”

All of the winning salons will be published in the June edition. Based in Lincolnshire, Illinois, and published by Vance Publishing, Salon Today is a leading business magazine for fine salon and spa owners. Its sister publications include Modern Salon, Process, and Renew magazines.

They are a luxury hair accessory that require more maintenance and care than regular hair. Here's some tips to help you care for extensions.⁠
⁠
◾️ Use Mineral Sunscreen to avoid chemicals that could turn your extensions peach/orangey.⁠
⁠
◾️ Use Rub-on Sunscreen to prevent spray from accidently getting on your extensions.⁠
⁠
◾️ We recommend using salon quality hair care products.⁠
⁠
◾️Use a Serum or Oil daily to hydrate extensions.⁠
⁠
◾️Wear a loose bun or braid when wearing your hair up.⁠
⁠
◾️ Brush extensions gently, working your way up the hair shaft to detangle. Do not brush directly on extension bond.⁠
⁠
◾️ Always apply a heat protection product and use medium heat setting when styling. ⁠

Summer Styling Tips from Advanced Senior Designer Summer Styling Tips from Advanced Senior Designer Stylist, Fallyn!⁠
⁠
How to diffuse your curls! 👩‍🦱⁠
⁠
What your need:⁠
❤️blow dryer with a diffuser⁠
💜clips and combs⁠
💙your favorite curl products! I love all in one milk from davines, davines love curl controller, and davines sea salt spray⁠
⁠
After applying your products, twist your hair in little sections then diffuse with your dryer.⁠
⁠
A few tips:⁠
💛avoid letting your hair sit on the dryer, this dries out the ends of your hair and creates frizz. point the air flow of your dryer down or at your hair⁠
💚try not to disrupt your twists until they are 100% dry⁠
🧡if time allows, let your twists air dry a little before going in with a dryer to save time⁠
