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!”
– Madison Viggers Stylist

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!”
-Madison Viggers, Stylist
