January 30-31, 2012 (New York City) – Samuel Cole Salon Senior Stylist, Nikki Kepley attended Current Workshop at Bumble and bumble University (Bb U) in NYC. She enhanced her passion for their craft in this rigorous 3 day advanced cutting course.  She refined her techniques learned in prior Design School cutting classes by learning to translate editorial references and fashion trends for her clients and developing an eye to design modern haircuts.  She engaged in daily hands-on sessions with multiple models, experienced inspirational demos, and learned to incorporate trends and modern influences into her work.

“Current workshop was about customizing cuts and tailoring them to each client’s needs.  Taking bits and pieces from multiple, different haircuts to create the perfect shape for each individual model was really amazing,” commented Kepley.

“Nikki is super talented and we are so proud to have such a dedicated and passionate stylist on our team.  We applaud and support her commitment to continual advanced education,” said Joelle Ray, co-owner of Samuel Cole Salon with her husband, Jack Ray.

January 2, 2012 (RALEIGH, NC) –  Samuel Cole Salon owners Jack and Joelle Ray enlisted the expertise of legendary editorial stylist Ronnie Stam. Stam was brought in to teach a hands-on workshop to Samuel Cole Salon’s top stylists and educators. Each stylist worked one on one with Stam to create looks on their model to build their portfolio.

“Ronnie was so personable and taught me how to classically set hair as a basic foundation for anything imaginable for print or runway looks.  It was inspiring to take in Ronnie’s thought process while “on set” for our own photo shoot.  I added some incredible editorial pictures to my portfolio,” remarked Samuel Cole Salon Master Stylist, Sara Beard.
