November 18-19, 2013 (NEW YORK CITY) – Samuel Cole Salon recently sent three of their stylists for advanced education at Bumble and bumble University in NYC. Kelsey Wright, Erin Grogan and Veronique Breault attended a two-day workshop that was devoted entirely to styling hair entitled Styling I. They improved their foundational skills and fine-tuned their command of tools and products. They learned to control the flat brush and round brush and the virtue of consistency through replication by styling multiple models in hand-on sessions.

“Attending Bumble and bumble University was a truly amazing experience.  What a phenomenal opportunity to improve my skill set.  I am looking forward to taking what I learned back to my clients at Samuel Cole Salon,” said Veronique.

November 11, 2013 (RALEIGH, NC) – Oribe Educator, Coby Alcantar was on-hand at Samuel Cole Salon to share her cutting expertise in a class focusing on The Pixie Cut.  This timeless cut made famous by celebrities such as, Mia Farrow, Audrey Hepburn and Twiggy is popular once again and is currently worn by Michelle Williams and Emma Watson.  Coby is a former Bumble and bumble educator and owns her own salon in Brooklyn called Little Ax.

Stylists were inspired by Coby’s new take on this classic cut.

Coby emphasized combining free form and technical skills by taking circular sections for an uncanny way to customize this cut for each client.  This technique delivers a very personalized pixie style and allows stylists to be true to each client’s unique headshape which is extremely important for short hair cuts.

“Oribe’s education team has such a unique way of teaching.  Their approach is so out-of-the-box and really pushes our stylists to really think about hair differently.  A pixie cut is very classic, so to learn an updated concept that pays homage to the past, while making it so current and relevant is invaluable to our stylists,” said Sara Beard, Assistant Director of Education.

Jack and Cara also styled models for a Runway Presentation at The Palms Hotel & Casino (Moon Nightclub) where their inspiration came to life as they showcased their models before a live audience of over 200 people.

“It was amazing to have the opportunity to work with industry legends Sonya and Christopher Dove (The Doves) and Stephen Moody, former Global Director of Education for Vidal Sassoon”, said Jack Ray.

“The Creative Retreat was inspiring and intense.  We worked for months on our vision/mood boards prior to event.  It’s amazing to have the opportunity to create a vision, execute that vision, have it photographed and present your look to such an exclusive audience. This was definitely a career highlight,” said Cara Harrison.
