Insta-Famous Bombshell Extensions Certification

Hair Extensions add length and increase volume to give your hair the oomph you crave.  The Bombshell Certification workshop provides hands-on training and expertise in the application of these hot new types of extensions –

Natural Beaded Row extensions are the most gentle on your hair. A weft of hair is attached using a bead and string method, allowing natural hair to grow and stay strong and healthy.  Appointments to move up the extensions are recommended every 6-8 weeks and are the shortest maintenance appointments among all extensions types.

Hand-Tied Extensions are thin wefts of hair that lay flat against your scalp and hand-tied to you natural hair.  These extensions are the best option if you’re worried about the extensions blending with your natural hair because there is no bead or tape required.  Appointments to move up the extensions are recommended every 6-8 weeks.

Tape-in Extensions are strips of hair ranging in width from a quarter inch to two inches to customize placement and limit visibility.  Tape in extensions add volume and length to give your hair more body.

The best type of extensions for an individual is determined by personal preference, lifestyle and maintenance routine.
Schedule a consultation today to find out which type is best for you!

I’m most excited about the beaded row extensions because the maintenance appointments are so short and the hair lasts so long. If you’re taking good care of them you can use the same wefts of hair for up to a year.”
–  Certified Stylist Sam Smith

The beaded row extensions are a great option for individuals who struggle with growing out their hair.  You’re less likely to experience breakage (than using tape-ins) because the wefts are so gently applied and are only attached to such a small amount of hair.”
– Certified Stylist Cara Harrison Thompson

Samuel Cole Salon Attends First of It’s Kind LBP “Front Row”

The Samuel Cole Team at Front Row

Owner Jack Ray and Samuel Cole Salon stylists* attended the first ever Luxury Brand Partners Front Row in Miami. This four-day festival of inspiration featured industry leaders educating and sharing experiences with top salon owners, stylists and trendsetters from around the world.  In addition to exposure to some of the most notable names in hairdressing, Front Row provided nonstop education in the form of hands-on hairstyling sessions and forums in which stylists learned from masters of the craft in a more intimate setting.

The epic kickoff show was introduced by hilarious comedian Natasha Leggero, and electrified the creative passions of the audience.  Ronnie Stam and Joey George styled graffiti-inspired masterpieces side by side; James Pecis revealed that the most complicated looks can be simple to achieve if you think outside the box; Coby Alcantar paid homage to 80s artist Patrick Nagel by translating his iconic work into haircuts; Vivienne Mackinder deconstructed a classic french twist; Nicci Welsh used a flat iron to create beachy waves; color brand Goldwell illustrated a timeline of blonde on the runway – from Marilyn Monroe to Lady Gaga; and Kien Hoang landed the finale with a recreation of his backstage work in New York Fashion Week 2016 (for The Blonds).  This star studded kickoff set the tone for the rest of the 4-day event: audiences honoring talent, and talent giving their all to inspire the industry.

On the heels of the amazing kickoff, best-selling author  Jim Collins inspired attendees with a keynote address to provide tips on how to combine passion, talents, and economic drivers to build a career.  James Pecis led a hands-on editorial styling session, taking away safety nets to show stylists how to explore beyond their comfort zone.

Vaughn Accord, creator of men’s line V76, energized the crowd with a drum performance in tribute to the late David Bowie. Vaughn created “Seven Characters of Men” as a collective snapshot of what his brand is becoming. From a “Brooklyn Biker” to an “Urban Bohemian,” V76 is about bringing out a man’s confidence and energy in his look.  Smith and Cult exploded with color on stage, which reflects their nail and lip lacquer palettes. Models stormed the runway dressed to represent unique color names, like “Kings and Thieves,” “Cut the Mullet,” and “Psycho Candy.”  Videos of fast-paced tutorials and depictions of each color decorated the show’s backdrop.  Founder Dineh Mohajer strut the runway in a wedding dress – to Nirvana – holding a wedding cake that she completely smashed on the song’s cue.

IGK, a modern salon made up of four trend setting stylists: Leo Izquierdo, Franck Izquierdo, Aaron Genia and Chase Kusero, finished the show.  It has locations in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and pop up salons around the world. The team of four simultaneously demonstrated various cuts, colors, and stylings with energetic passion.

R+CO creators Howard McLaren, Thom Priano and Garren hosted a “fireside chat” style interview in which they discussed their start in the beauty industry, what inspires them in their craft, and what they would be doing if they weren’t hair stylists. They each demonstrated cutting techniques inspired by artists – McLaren by the movie A Clockwork Orange and the late artist David Bowie, Priano by Classic Rock Icons, and Garren by a range from old Hollywood glamour to 80’s Rock.  They also taught individual hands-on sessions in addition to the main stage shows to offer personal feedback.  Samuel Cole Master Stylists Carolyn Nord and Cara Harrison learned from Garren first-hand how to balance the use of texture in an editorial look.

“To experience Front Row was indescribable. Being surrounded by so many legends in the beauty industry was unforgettable. It puts things in perspective on how to really make something of yourself and provide the ultimate experience for our clients.” –Cara 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.

⁠
◾️ Use Mineral Sunscreen to avoid chemicals that could turn your extensions peach/orangey.⁠
⁠
◾️ Use Rub-on Sunscreen to prevent spray from accidently getting on your extensions.⁠

⁠
◾️Use a Serum or Oil daily to hydrate extensions.⁠
⁠
◾️Wear a loose bun or braid when wearing your hair up.⁠

Summer Styling Tips from Advanced Senior Designer Summer Styling Tips from Advanced Senior Designer Stylist, Fallyn!⁠
⁠
How to diffuse your curls! 👩‍🦱⁠
⁠
What your need:⁠
❤️blow dryer with a diffuser⁠
💜clips and combs⁠
💙your favorite curl products! I love all in one milk from davines, davines love curl controller, and davines sea salt spray⁠
⁠
After applying your products, twist your hair in little sections then diffuse with your dryer.⁠
⁠
A few tips:⁠
💛avoid letting your hair sit on the dryer, this dries out the ends of your hair and creates frizz. point the air flow of your dryer down or at your hair⁠
💚try not to disrupt your twists until they are 100% dry⁠
🧡if time allows, let your twists air dry a little before going in with a dryer to save time⁠
