Mark DeBolt visits Samuel Cole for a Master Color Class

Samuel Cole Stylists cannot say enough great things about Mark DeBolt! He is a regular on our Master Color Education Calendar! We are always so thrilled to have him in our salon teaching us all the new and different trends for color.

At the start of his career, Mark worked with celebrity stylist Marie Robinson. He later became a New York trusted colorist to icons such as Naomi Watts, Rebecca Taylor, and Vanessa Ferlito. Mark worked with Wella Professionals as a Brand Ambassador, Educator, and Color Expert for many years but has since embarked on a new journey being one of the proud owners of MarkRyan Salon in New York!

Many of our stylists say their favorite education class is Mark DeBolt Day! For his latest master color class, we dove deep into the challenges our industry has had since the Covid 19 pandemic and how to adapt with those changes. Our stylists watched as he did not one but two types of blonding models for us. The first was his take on the classic highlight. We talked sectioning, glaze formulations and root bumps! The result was one of effortless looking beauty! The second model was a look into Mark’s technique for the world of Balayage and Root Shadowing. He is always one to share the best color formulations from Shades EQ, to Koleston Perfect, and Color touch. They are always PERFECT! We can’t wait for Mark DeBolt Day in 2022!!

“Mark has such a calming and inspiring presence. I always learn something new whether it’s a formula, a technique, or just a way of thinking. He’s truly the Best!”

Wella Virtual Balayage Craft with Whitney Parr

Whitney Parr, a Wella Color Expert, Certified Stylist, and Educator recently shared her expertise in the art of Balayage. 2020 held lots of challenges for all businesses but Whitney did not allow it slow her down. This was our first virtual class of many in 2020 and it was FANTASTIC!

Our advanced stylists utilized mannequins to learn a new and current Balayage technique that focused on seamless blending. Whitney introduced halo sectioning and really challenged our stylists to take a different approach to hair painting. She encouraged them to paint down the hair strand, using their brush to only saturate the top layer. The results were absolutely beautiful!

“I loved this class! Using halo sections was so helpful in keeping me organized but also so time efficient!”

Wella Brazilian Illuminage with Wella Master Educator Stevie Smith

Stevie Smith discovered the art of hairdressing at the age of sixteen. She trained with top stylists in Atlanta for 9 years before moving to Chicago where she began working as a Stylist, Art Director, and Educator. She has worked with many of the industries leaders such as Wella, Toni & Guy, Bumble and Bumble, Vidal Sassoon, and ZGAT & Sharon Blain just to name a few.

Her Brazilian Illuminage Class focused on foil patterns and sectioning for maximum blonding impact. It’s a new take on balayage for those clients that want the light and bright without the maintenance. Our stylists worked in groups along side Stevie to personalize the technique to each individual models look. The results were so beautiful and we had so much fun getting there! We can’t wait to see what she brings us next!

“Stevie was amazing! She really helped me better understand sectioning to make blonde pop!”

International Wella Top Artist Aubrey Loots Showcases Fall 2018 Color Trends

Aubrey Loots on the runway pre-show in South Africa.

The only thing Aubrey Loots is more passionate about than the fashion of hair styling is educating and inspiring hairstylists around the world.  As an educator Aubrey draws on his 23 years of experience styling and working on runway shows, fashion shows, and Red Carpet Events in New York, Paris, London, Korea and more.  Just in the past few months, Aubrey has worked on Behind the Chair’s hair show in Texas, led Wella’s styling team for African Fashion International’s Cape Town Fashion Week in South Africa, and presented at Wella’s TrendVision in Tokyo.  While in Tokyo, he also hosted his own week-long Creative Retreat where he taught and set up a photo shoot for stylists, led tours of top Tokyo salons and explored the culture through food, art and shopping.

At Samuel Cole Salon, Aubrey’s Master Color Workshop emphasized the art of color placement, strategically lightening pieces of hair that frame the face and therefore creating a major impact.  Aubrey’s “express brightening” technique achieved a brand new look in a shorter amount of time and would benefit anyone who desires a little extra drama between their routine maintenance appointments.

I loved everything about Aubrey’s class – his technique and formulations and his energy.  The artistic color placement refreshes your whole look without putting color all over your hair every single time.” – Stylist Denise Ficker

Mark Debolt is the best! I always love his classes because he always brings more and more techniques to share with us! – Stylist Lauren Pittman
