The stylists enhanced their skill set by studying with master hairdressers at Bumble in a rigorous cutting class entitled Design Workshop. These Samuel Cole Salon stylists honed their skills, found inspiration and discovered different and unique ways to focus their ideas, expand their repertoire, and learn to view hairdressing in new contexts.

“Design Workshop really pushed me outside of my box with the straight razor. I am so inspired and can’t wait to bring my new advanced skills back to the salon,” said Spellenburg.

Oribe Educator and Editorial Expert, Kien Hoang Shares his Expertise

Oribe educator and editorial expert, Kien Hoang shared his expertise with Samuel Cole Salon in March. Hoang lead a class dedicated to “The Art of the Ponytail”. He taught stylists how to turn this common style into a high fashion editorial and runway look. Hoang brings over 20 years of experience as a stylist and is known as much for his artistry and technical skill as he is for his passion, warmth and generosity. His creative approach to hairstyling inspires stylists to go above and beyond their day-to-day salon work. His most current work was seen on the runways during NYFW ’14 and can also be seen at kienhoang.net.

“Kien is an incredible educator and a fixture in the world of fashion.  We were lucky to have him share his expertise with our salon on how to transition a quick, perfect ponytail into endless possibilities.  We had 22 stylists in attendance and no two looks were the same.  Our team was able to add striking looks to their portfolios,” said Sara Beard, Assistant Director of Education & Master Designer.

Kait Hu, Lauren Munns, Chelsea LePage and Morgan Tunnell recently attend the prestigious Bumble and bumble University in NYC. The team of Samuel Cole Salon stylists participated in a two-day hands-on styling master class. Expert Bumble and bumble educators put our stylist to the test and pushed them to take their foundational styling skills to the next level. The class was entirely focused on the art of styling and featured classic styling principles involving the flat brush and round brush. The virtue of consistency and replication were enforced by styling models in hand-on sessions under the intense eye of industry veterans.

It was an incredible experience where I got to meet the most amazing people and gain so much knowledge to bring home to my salon clients as well as my salon family!” – Katie Hu
