Michael Knight at Bb U
March 26-27, 2012 (New York City) – Samuel Cole Salon Master Designer, Michael Knight recently attended Bumble & bumble University located in New York City’s historic meat packing district. Knight enhanced his skill set by studying with master hairdressers at Bumble in a rigorous two day course entitled Design Workshop. He engaged in comprehensive theory and hands-on training covering advanced razor techniques, as well as consultation skills and product knowledge.
“My Bumble & bumble experience in New York City was amazing. Bumble has one of the most incredible training facilities in our industry. My time with the instructors was invaluable and I was able to learn some exciting new techniques with a razor, as well as improving the skills that I already possess. Spending time at Bumble definitely reignited my creative fire. I so look forward to a return visit. One of the best parts of the trip was traveling with my salon’s owners, Jack and Joelle Ray. We took advantage of our downtown location and made some great new discoveries in the city. I think one of my fondest memories was meeting Tim Tebow at a restaurant (Scarpetta). Thank you Jack and Joelle for giving me the opportunity to attend Bb U and for being such wonderful travel partners. You guys rock,” said Knight.
Samuel Cole Salon is one of Raleigh’s top salons and is owned by the husband and wife team and veteran stylists, Jack and Joelle Ray. Continuing advanced education and inspiration are important to the Rays.
“We only hire stylists who are passionate about the craft of hairdressing and whose continuing education goals align with ours,” explains Joelle.
March 19, 2012 (Raleigh, NC) – MAC Makeup experts, Krystal Lehman and Marissa Lamperi were on-site at Samuel Cole Salon to teach an advanced makeup workshop. The workshop focused on three celebrity looks and MAC trends. The looks included Reese Witherspoon (all natural, glowing skin and eye-focused), Zooey Deschanel (bright, dewey skin with neon lips), and Kim Kardashian (heavy, smoked eyes). Stylists came away with fresh ideas and techniques that they can translate and customize for each of their clients.
