January 2011 (New York City) – Samuel Cole Salon stylists attended Bumble & bumble University in New York City to enhance their skill set by studying with master hairdressers at Bumble in a rigorous 2 day Design Workshop. The stylists engaged in comprehensive theory and hands-on training covering both razor and scissor techniques as well as consultation skills and product knowledge. This workshop allowed them to discover new ways to hone their skills and expand their repertoire.

“Amazing, inspirational, motivational! Bbu was an exciting experience. I learned so much and I feel I have brought many of those inspiring techniques back with me to use on my clients which was what I wanted out of this trip; different, realistic, idealistic and fun ways of doing hair. I can’t wait for my next class,” said one of the stylists.
