Long Layered Haircut with Davines Educator Anca Morar

Anca Morar has been in the hair industry since 2015. After graduating from the Douglas J. Aveda Institute in Chicago, she dove deeper into her passion for hair by completing a 2 year apprenticeship with a Reverie Artistic Director. She has traveled everywhere from New York to Vegas doing hair and makeup for the Kaizen Education Team. Our team was so excited to have her in the salon teaching long layered hair cutting!

Long layered hair cutting class with Anca Morar

Her class focused on dry cutting techniques to create soft layers and texture throughout long hair. She used Davines products such as, Blow dry primer and All in one milk to finish the look giving her long layers a soft, touchable texture! Anca has such a positive and creative vibe, she really makes learning fun! We can’t wait to have her back and see what she has for us next!

“Anca was so great! I loved that she was so involved with everyone and wanted everyone to feel good about the cutting technique “

Mark DeBolt visits Samuel Cole for a Master Color Class

Samuel Cole Stylists cannot say enough great things about Mark DeBolt! He is a regular on our Master Color Education Calendar! We are always so thrilled to have him in our salon teaching us all the new and different trends for color.

At the start of his career, Mark worked with celebrity stylist Marie Robinson. He later became a New York trusted colorist to icons such as Naomi Watts, Rebecca Taylor, and Vanessa Ferlito. Mark worked with Wella Professionals as a Brand Ambassador, Educator, and Color Expert for many years but has since embarked on a new journey being one of the proud owners of MarkRyan Salon in New York!

Many of our stylists say their favorite education class is Mark DeBolt Day! For his latest master color class, we dove deep into the challenges our industry has had since the Covid 19 pandemic and how to adapt with those changes. Our stylists watched as he did not one but two types of blonding models for us. The first was his take on the classic highlight. We talked sectioning, glaze formulations and root bumps! The result was one of effortless looking beauty! The second model was a look into Mark’s technique for the world of Balayage and Root Shadowing. He is always one to share the best color formulations from Shades EQ, to Koleston Perfect, and Color touch. They are always PERFECT! We can’t wait for Mark DeBolt Day in 2022!!

“Mark has such a calming and inspiring presence. I always learn something new whether it’s a formula, a technique, or just a way of thinking. He’s truly the Best!”

Journey To Mastery The Modern Bride

Master stylists Katie Pursche and Alley Biehl traveled to Birmingham, Alabama to attend Oribe’s Journey to Mastery, The Modern Bride class at The Collective BHM Salon.

This two day workshop was taught by Oribe Educator and Owner of Studio Six Two Four Salon in Boston, Ashley Brecken and Umbrella Salon Founder and Oribe Director of Content and Training Kein Hoang. The class took an in depth look at formal styling. They focused on how to create classic and editorial looks you see in magazines and on the red carpet. Ashley and Kein created an environment for creativity and growth, pushing the stylists to go beyond the techniques they know and challenge themselves to do it different and better!

Alley and Katie had such a great experience learning from Ashley and Kein and cannot wait to share what they learned with their team at Samuel Cole! Here is one one of the many looks they created on their models!

“This class was so amazing! I learned a ton from Ashley and Kein on technique. I LOVE to be challenged and really feel like Ashley and Kein gave me different aspects that frustrated me but also challenged me to be better!”

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!
