Two time winner of Wella Professional’s International Trend Vision Award, Mark DeBolt was on-hand at Samuel Cole Salon to share this years Fall and Winter color trends. Mark’s passion for styling is met only by his love for inspiring and furthering the careers of other stylists. Mark is constantly aspiring to craft and create beauty through the art of professional coloring and we were thrilled to be learning from the master himself.
This year’s trend class focused on the shape of the hair. Mark demonstrated different coloring techniques that incorporated the use of hair painting to shadow and lighten shapes in the hair in order to create contrast, ultimately challenging the texture and changing the appearance of the actual shape. After spending the afternoon with Mark, stylist were inspired to look at color in a whole new way.
Creating shadow and light challenges the anatomy of the shape by manipulating and diffusing the lines, creating new textures within the shape. Mark’s visit to our salon left stylist eager to experiment with new shapes, challenge the norm in textures, and show color through shadow and light.
Learning from Mark is so invaluable because he gives you tangible skills to perfect results time after time,” said master stylist, Carolyn Nord.
