Stylists Master All of the Curls at Bumble & bumble University

Alley Biehl’s model, before and after styling

Alley and Dempsey attended the renowned Bb.U Curl Class at Bumble and bumble University in New York City. Curly hair comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, from spiral corkscrews to loose waves, and many curly-hair clients spend a lifetime looking for a stylist who can cut and style their hair in such a way that compliments their curls. This hands-on styling and cutting course addressed the needs of every curl type. The stylists identified various curl patterns and applied Bb.U design techniques to create dynamic looks that complimented the client’s natural curls.

A lot of my clients like to embrace their natural curl, and I loved having the opportunity to see curly styling and cutting with a fresh perspective.” – Master Sylist Alley Biehl

Alley’s Modern Take on Whimsical Formal Styling

Stylists were treated by the much-anticipated annual Formal Styling class with our Master Stylist Alley Biehl. Her experience with event styling reaches back into her middle school years, styling hair for her family and friends for school proms and formals. Alley’s class energizes stylists for the upcoming formal season by demonstrating skills behind red-carpet looks seen at awards shows such as the Oscars and Grammys. Alley demonstrated a reinvention of the “whimsical bride,” instead of a textured look she created a smooth modern bun, accented with a beautiful beaded head piece.

Alley’s class featured two newly released Oribe styling products, Swept Up Volume Powder Spray and Free Styler Working Hair Spray. Swept Up is a volumizing powder that provides lift with an easy pump-spray application, and Free Styler was its perfect pair, providing equal parts flexibility and hold.

Every year Alley’s [Formal Styling] class ignites my inspiration for formal hair and gives me the confidence and hones my skills to create a variety of looks for proms and weddings.” – Stylist Isabella Vazquez

Oribe Atelier Inspires Samuel Cole Stylists

Oribe Hair Care Ateliers gather like-minded, education-driven stylists to reinvigorate their passion for their craft. Samuel Cole stylists Denise Ficker, Melanie Giovannini and Breanna Shaffer attended the Nashville Atelier, which inspired them to enhance their editorial hairdressing skills. Oribe’s Global Ambassador and educator James Pecis let his brilliance shine on stage as he demonstrated the editorial style for stylists to emulate in the hands-on workshop. Pecis shared the stage with fellow Oribe Educators and celebrity stylists Coby Alcantar, Kein Hoang, and Christian Ceja-Compin.

The Atelier is an exhilarating fashion show-style experience, from the opening act to the concluding hands-on workshop. The models were presented and each educator individually explained their process and techniques in detail. Pecis demonstrated the final editorial style: a combination of retro victory rolls and a modern chignon bun at the nape. As stylists recreated this look on their models, educators floated throughout to provide individual expert feedback, while photographers staged the models for a shot of the final look.

This Oribe Atelier exposed me to up and coming trends, not only what’s trendy now, but what’s coming next – like bangs! Everyone had killer bangs!!!” -Melanie Giovannini

Celebrity Stylist Robert Vasquez Updates the 50’s Beehive

Silvi’s Beehive Style

Robert Vasquez, lead Educator for luxury brand R+Co, demonstrated a modern beehive up-style and coached Samuel Cole stylists through a hands-on workshop to replicate the look. Stylists combined foundational and innovative techniques to create their version of the modern beehive upstyle.

Using the right styling products is key to mastering the “Beehive.” The hair must be flexible yet strong to stay smooth and stay put once pinned in the right place. Stylists maintained lift at the root with R+Co Jackpot Styling Cream, and gave the mids to ends of the hair grip with Dallas Thickening Spray. To achieve the fullness of an authentic beehive look, a lot of teasing and backcombing is required, and Vasquez demonstrated how to hide the teased hair, which kept the hive smooth and flawless.

Robert was very involved during the hands-on part of the class, and his expertise is amazing. I loved having up close and personal instruction on how to perfect this look.” – Stylist Heather Simpson
