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!”

White Dress Collective Lead Stylist + Elite Designer Alley Biehl’s Styling Workshop Featured Extensions, Decorative Accessories

The trends for 2020 brides range from traditional updos to whimsical braids and effortlessly romantic cascading curls. As diverse as these looks are, what they all have in common is fullness, proving there’s no such thing as “too much hair.” Alley Biehl’s bridal workshop demonstrated styling skills that incorporate extensions to accentuate a bride’s hair. Alley’s model wanted a loose style that still took her hair off her shoulders. They used HaloCouture extensions to give the style fullness and body she needed to let some pieces stay “untucked” for a playful touch.

The workshop included the use of decorative hair pieces to elevate a beautiful look to a bride’s dream-hair-come-true. Accessories like barrettes, clips, combs with jewels or florals can be used to adorn hair in styles worn up or down. They are so versatile and fun to play with!

Alley demonstrated how to pin and style the hair extensions to create a soft and textured, loose up-do that would be secure enough to hold all day and night.”
