March 1-3, 2010 (RALEIGH, NC) – Samuel Cole Salon’s owner and Director of Education, Jack Ray and Stylist of the Year, Sara Beard attended Current Workshop at Bumble and bumble University (Bb.U) in NYC. These veteran hairdressers enhanced their passion for their craft in this rigorous 3 day advanced cutting course. They refined their techniques learned in prior Design School cutting classes by learning to translate editorial references and fashion trends for their clients and developing an eye to design modern haircuts. They engaged in daily hands-on sessions with multiple models, experienced inspirational demos, and learned to incorporate trends and modern influences into their work.
“What makes Bb.U’s Current Workshop so cool is that it integrates two prerequisite classes – one that is more technique-oriented and one that is more theoretical. The combination of these two classes is in a word “enlightening”. It cements the concept of a truly customized, current haircut for a client as opposed to cookie cutter hair cutting. That is how you can take the inspiration of an iconic image like Sasson’s cut on Twiggy back in the 60’s and give it an up-to-date or current feel for your client today,” said Jack Ray.
