Master stylist KatieM traveled to Los Angeles to attend a workshop within Oribe Education. She had the honor of learning from editorial stylist Ramona Eschbach. Ramona has had her work grace the cover of many magazines including Ukraine and Russian Vogue.

The workshop led by Ramona featured  incorporating braids and sculpting the hair to create different looks with texture. The class gave the Oribe Educators inspiration through collaboration.

I loved working under Ramona! She is the real deal and working with her is such an honor” said KatieM.

KatieM took this amazing opportunity and brought back her inspiration and shared what she learned with her Samuel Cole team in a hands-on workshop. Stylists worked in teams on live models with the final look comprising different textures which merged together for a stunning fused look.

The class was a great learning experience! Working together with a stylist who might do somethings different than the way you do was a great change of pace. It opens your eyes on different ways to achieve similar results and working as a team gave it great satisfaction at our end result.” said stylist Dempsey.

Samuel Cole Salon Welcomes 2015 National Wella Trend Vision Gold Winner , “KatieM”

IMG_2559KatieM began her styling career in Asheville, NC in 2006 where she worked in the city’s top salon, Ananda. Training under the city’s finest stylists and colorists, she quickly developed her creative eye and passion for hair. In 2011 she moved to St. Paul, MN where she worked in one of Allure Magazine’s “Top 100 salons” of 2012. She had the honor of working with a very talented and creative team, including Shear Genius‘ Faatemah Ampey. KatieM moved back to Asheville from 2012-2015, and is now relocating to Raleigh, NC where she will be splitting her time between Samuel Cole Salon, traveling as an educator for Oribe, and working on editorial projects. KatieM’s most recent travels have been to NYC and Miami, working with industry legend and celebrity stylist Ronnie Stamm (toured with Rolling Stones and Aerosmith) and training with leading Oribe educator and runway stylist Kien Hoang. KatieM was one of the first to attend Miami Studios. With that, she attended The Art of the Ponytail instructed by Kien. She describes the class as advance with a more critical look at a ponytail. The ponytail was just the starting point and from there they took it to a while different level. She also attended Love Eternal Set which was also instructed by Kien. This class taught the advance way of setting hair to create beautiful S waves. This class took patience and creativity and can create feminine, sexy and expressive styling. It’s very glamorous and timeless approach to styling women’s hair.

 

KatieM regularly travels to NYC where she extends her education with styling, coloring, and developing her artistic eye. She is trained in Wella Color,  and has excelled in hair painting/balayage. Manselle has studied intensive razor cutting and styling with Bumble and Bumble in New York City.

 Katie and Model WinningWe are thrilled to have someone with KatieM’s passion, talent and warm-hearted creative energy join our team. I’ve had the pleasure of mentoring KatieM in the last year before she officially joined our team and it is exciting to find such dedication to being the best. KatieM is committed, focused, creative and always pushing to grow as a stylist. I know our guests and team will love her”, Joelle Ray.

Keratin Complex Smoothing Service Now Available

Smoothing and Straightening services are more popular than ever. However, due to federal regulations beauty manufacturers have looked for ways to improve their products while adhering to new regulations. Samuel Cole Salon stylists recently went through a comprehensive training class with educators from Keratin Complex. This new service offered gives clients another option from other smoothing services and is ideal for anyone who wants more straightening and smoothing than the Brazilian Blowout delivers.  While the service costs more due to the extra time it takes to perform the results on more coarse and extra curly hair types makes it a great option for those clients.  The Keratin Complex does take extra time but the results soften the curl up to 3 levels, reduces frizz up to 90%  and while lasting up to 4-5 months depending on hair type. It is important to understand the treatment is not a straightener but a smoothing treatment that makes hair look and feel better than ever after the service.

Before and After results

What is keratin? Keratin is a fibrous protein found naturally in the hair. It acts as a protective shield against humidity which is,  the primary cause of frizz. Over time the hair loses keratin from exposure to the sun, the environment, and styling chemical services. Porous spots develop in this damaged hair, much like potholes in a road. Keratin Complex® Smoothing Therapy treatments give the hair shine, strength, smoothness and elasticity.

Conventional straighteners or relaxers may break the protein bonds within the hair’s structure, causing each strand to reform into a permanently straight shape. Keratin Smoothing Complex is different.

Keratin Complex revolutionary technology does not break the hair’s bonds, instead delivers the versatility of smoother, healthier-looking hair that can be styled wavy or straight as desired.

Keratin Complex’s signature keratin works effectively on all hair types. Our unique Smoothing Therapy treatments contain high concentrations of keratin that penetrate throughout the hair structure, and then are sealed within the cortex to repair damage.

A consultation is required prior to booking this services due to the amount of time reserved for this appointment. Please see our salon pricing for starting prices.
