May 20, 2013 (RALEIGH, NC) – Bumble & bumble educator, platform artist, and runway editorial artist, Alejandro Jimenez took center stage at Samuel Cole Salon to educate and inspire their design team. The razor cutting and styling class featured Bumble and bumble’s newest Surf Spray family of products release, Surf Foam Wash Shampoo and Surf Crème Rinse Conditioner. Designed to cleanse, hydrate and enhance natural texture, these new products are formulated with the same genius blend of body-enhancing minerals and sea botanticals as Surf Spray. Ideal for any hair type that needs a little beachy texture. Jimenez demonstrated several runway and editorial styling techniques, as well as razor cutting.
“There is an energy with Jack and Joelle’s team that I don’t experience anywhere else. I always look forward to coming here. They inspire me,” said Jimenez.
“Learning from Alejandro is such an honor. He takes styling to an entirely new level. I always come away feeling inspired and confident and I can’t wait to recreate the styles on my clients,” remarked Samuel Cole Salon Advanced Designer, Kristina Weeks.
Jimenez has a long history as part of Bumble’s elite runway and creative team. He has worked on many fashion events, such as Victoria’s Secret’s Fashion Show. In addition, he serves as the Bumble Educator in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.
According to Jack Ray, Master Stylist and co-owner of Samuel Cole Salon along with his wife, Joelle Ray, “It was a privilege to have Alejandro back in our salon sharing his passion for hairdressing with our team. He is always engaging, inspirational and has a great sense of humor. This level of education, access, and inspiration is what helps set us apart from other salons in the area and a world class salon experience, of course.”
