Top Educators Co-Host Oribe Signature Cut Class

Coby Alcantar and Tony Caldwell are two of Oribe’s most highly sought-after educators. Each own a salon, have editorial experience in Fashion Weeks around the world, and educate hundreds of stylists every year with Oribe’s Education Team.

Coby and Tony are the perfect team to co-host a class; playing off each other nicely creating a fantastic learning environment that empowers stylists to push their creative envelope. Coby demonstrated Oribe’s Signature haircut with a razor while Tony demonstrated the same haircut with shears, speaking to the value of each tool based on the model’s hair type and the stylist’s preference.

The Signature Cut is Oribe’s amazingly transitional haircut, so it’s perfect for anyone who wants to grow out their bangs, or who feels like their long hair “drags down their face.”  This cut creates strong, blended layers that frame the face while maintaining length overall.  The look has texture, movement, and softness.

I loved seeing how this haircut came to life with a razor and with shears – neither one is “right” or “wrong”. I especially appreciated the freedom Coby gives us in cutting, encouraging us to trust our visual instinct as artists.”

Luxury Extensions

Of all the extensions we offer, beaded wefts are the most luxurious. They are gentle and kind to your natural hair. Silicone-lined beads hug the weft to your hair while it grows. When the beads are removed, your hair remains intact, unbroken and undamaged!

Beaded wefts come in all shades, so we can match your natural color, or select a balayaged shade to add some lightness without altering the pigment of your natural hair. For blondes, these extensions are especially impactful because blonde hair can be so difficult to to keep healthy at longer lengths! Our 100% European Remy Hair extensions are offered in lengths ranging from 20 – 24 inches. After your extensions are installed, you will receive a customized blending haircut for a seamless result!

Application Appointments

Your first appointment to have your extensions placed is 2 – 2.5 hours long, including your customized haircut and style.  

Every 4 weeks, the wefts will need to be moved up. Your certified stylist loosens the beads, slides them closer to your scalp and tightens the beads again. So simple! These quick move-up appointments take only 15-30 minutes! 

Your hair care routine will determine how long your hair can go with regular move-ups. Typically, after the 2nd move up appointment, the wefts will need to be completely removed and replaced with new beads. Your wefts can last an entire year with proper maintenance routines!

At Home Maintenance

Shampoo as usual, and only use conditioner on your mid-lengths and ends. We recommend using Shampoo and Conditioner from Olaplex or the Oribe Gold Lust line – these are gentle on the hair and help it detangle easily. 

Always use a heat protectant and comb through your hair to detangle it before blow drying. We love Olaplex No.6 or Oribe Balm D’or, which will protect your hair and also help keep it detangled! Blow dry your hair thoroughly, especially at the roots. You want to avoid letting your roots air-dry to prevent matting!

Sleep with your hair in a loose low ponytail or braid to help keep it from tangling.  Wearing your hair in a braid overnight makes for some bombshell waves the next day – just touch up a little with a curling iron to polish the front and you will be good to go!

Give us a call to schedule a consultation with an extensions specialist! 919-845-0098. Remember, we’re available to chat after your workday during the week! Our hours are:

M| 10 – 7
T – TH| 9 – 9
F| 9 – 8
Sa| 9 – 7

Customizing the Lived-In Color Trend with Wella Color Expert Whitney Parr

  • Whitney’s model, center, with Katie and Whitney

Whitney Parr, a Wella Color Expert Certified stylist and educator recently shared her expertise in custom color formulations with our advanced stylists. Whitney’s forte is to formulate color based on each guest’s lifestyle – are they chasing their children all day or working in a corporate office? Are they swimmers or are they restorative yoga instructors? Do they love coming in the salon for their appointments every 6 weeks or prefer to come once per season? All these factors play into Whitney’s plan for them, and our stylists practice a similar consultation to bring each of our guests a tailored experience.

Our advanced stylists were able to get a sneak preview of Wella’s New Liquid Toners, formulated to provide a perfect finish to your preferred shade of blonde. The Brass Kicker additive notably neutralizes warmth, while the intermixable toners enhance blondes who range from warm (honey-beige) to cool tones (sterling silver).

Customization is so important in building our relationship with our guests, which is why we host educators like Whitney Parr who specialize in creating a bespoke color experience for each person in our chair .

Oribe Global Educator Gardner Edmunds

Gardner Edmunds and stylist Katie Pursche

Oribe global educator and celebrity stylist Gardner Edmunds was on-hand at Samuel Cole Salon to share his cutting expertise in a class featuring the Unstructured Bob. This hairstyle is perfect for women with finer textures and those who want a classic textured, tousled look with minimal structure. It’s a style seen worn by Julianne Hough, Kate Hudson, and Lucy Hale.

The unstructured bob provides a great frame for eyes and cheekbones, and adds softness to the person’s overall style. During the class, Gardner emphasized creating texture and movement with a razor. Stylist were inspired by his visual,  free-style approach, giving a very sexy, undone look to the bob – a traditionally a very geometric cut.  This technique creates a fresh, modern take on a very classic look.

This is one of my favorite haircuts and I loved Gardner’s refreshing take on it. Using a razor gives clients the wispy ends they love without making their hair look thin. It’s the best!

Master Color Class Reveals Instagram’s Influence on Color Trends

Alejandro’s color blocking brought her
“Vintage Red Leather” color to life

Wella Brand Educator and Creative Master Stylist Alejandro Jimenez brought his impeccable attention to detail and passion for customizing each and every client’s haircut and color to Samuel Cole Salon. We value individuality among our stylists and clients, so we are always welcoming industry leaders to share their innovations in providing a unique experience for each person in their chair.

Alejandro’s class featured hair coloring with an emphasis on the finishing texture. Dusty, vintage textures are gaining momentum on social media – shades appear soft and gentle due to powdery filters. Stylists observed Jiminez’ color placement that re-created insta-filter inspired hues with textures such as vintage wood, leather red and satin blonde.

My mind was blown by the impact of his color placement in the model’s red hair. It really made her color pop, and in the same amount of time as her regular appointment would have been.
