Coby Alcantar + Gardner Edmunds Reveal Inner Layer Haircut

Oribe Educators Coby Alcantar + Gardner Edmunds, highly sought after stylists in the current world of hairdressing. Coby owns Little Axe Salon in Brooklyn, NY where she creates fun and effortless styles for her clients, and Gardner’s salon home is Ramirez Tran Salon in Beverly Hills, CA. His notable clients include Lea Michele, Olivia Palermo, Rebecca Minkoff and Kim Cattrall.

Their combined expertise brought incredible energy to this class, which focused cutting inner layers that don’t sacrifice overall length of the hair. This technique can be used on all lengths of hair. The final look was a light and airy style that allowed the hair to move freely. To style the haircut, they used a combination of Oribe Foundation Mist, Maximista and Featherbalm on damp hair, and twisted the hair damp and let it air dry.

Creating inner layers removed weight and made the haircut look softer. I love learning from Coby and Gardner together because they showed variations of the same techniques to get an amazing fresh haircut” – Stylist Michelle Larry

Stylists Katie + Libby Attend Bumble & bumble Leadership Series in NYC

Libby’s Model

Members of Samuel Cole Salon’s Education Team, stylists Katie and Libby are instrumental in teaching several cutting, coloring and styling classes to Associates who go through our Immersion Program. Committed to build leadership, technical and teaching skills, they attended Bumble and bumble University’s Network Educator Series at Bb.U in New York City.

Continuous education makes me a better stylist because I learn new ways to style my guests and how to teach my guests how to style their own hair, which is one of my favorite aspects of what I do.” – Stylist Katie Pursche

The three-day course included sessions on product ingredients, leadership, presentation skills and hands-on styling. Educators demonstrated techniques that Bumble and bumble’s Global Artistic Director Laurent Philippon used to style runway models for Lacoste at New York Fashion Week. Katie and Libby loved these techniques, as they applied them in a hands-on session with live models.

It was exciting to see a new twist on styling curls. The technique created a loose flat wave, which a lot of our guests are really into right now.” – Stylist Libby Bink

Brilliant for a variety of hair types – fine to thick density and straight to wavy texture – the Classic Bob can be air dried for an undone casual Saturday stroll in the park or polished to perfection for a formal cocktail hour.

Adam was determined to see us master new techniques he shared with us to customize this cut for our models. I loved the individualized feedback and attention he paid to each one of us. Adam’s technical skills, industry experience and editorial credentials really came through in this class.” – Stylist Alexis Lyons
