Wella Color Top Artist Mark Debolt Debuted New Color Formulations in Master Class

*Director of Education Katie styles Mark Debolt’s Model*

Mark Debolt’s sixth visit to Samuel Cole Salon was just as notable and valuable as the previous five. A Top Artist for Wella Professionals, Mark Debolt specializes in color correction, foil highlighting, balayage and is a genius color formulator. He uses his craftsmanship to execute color imbued with rich tones and natural nuances.

In his Master Color Seminar, he shared his passion and trend forecasting. Hyper-natural color is going to set the tone for hair color trends in 2020. Think about how hair color looks on young children, so pure and soft. Trends are also showing that people are having more fun with their hair color, experimenting with their look and using hair color as a function of fashion.

Mark Debolt is one of the most humble, kind and brilliant educators. His seminars include stylists with a range of experience from 2 years to 30 years, and every single person is engaged and inspired. The biggest takeaway from him is always, the client comes first. As a hair stylist, it’s not about “you,” it’s about making the client look and feel like the best version of themselves!”

Designers Fallyn, Kait and Carmella Visit the House of Bumble

Samuel Cole Salon sent Designers Fallyn, Kait and Carmella to Bumble and bumble University in NYC, an iconic nationwide school of hair design, for a cutting workshop where they furthered their foundational razor cutting skills. Bumble & bumble’s school provides creative freedom and one-on-one instruction from top industry educators. The class expands stylists’ knowledge of Cutting Theory, Advanced Consultation Skills, and Bumble and bumble products in addition to refining their razor cutting skills.

Instructors demonstrated techniques and facilitated a hands-on workshop in which Fallyn, Kait and Carmella created a long layered haircut and the timeless bob haircut on their models. This class is instrumental in further mastering the art of razor cutting.

I loved having complete artistic freedom to expand my razor skills in a setting that had the guidance of top industry instructors nearby.” – Stylist Fallyn Mireault

R+Co Cutting Guru and Global Educator Douglas McCoy Visits Samuel Cole Salon

Douglas McCoy is an expert hairstylist, specializing in cutting. He is very accomplished, both behind the chair and behind the camera lens. He has worked six seasons of New York Fashion Week, with Houses such as BCBG, Lacoste and Rebecca Minkoff. He is a two-time winner of the Hairbrained Video Awards Lo-Fi Video of the Year and Best Over-All Video of the Year.

When Howard McLaren founded R+Co with Garren and Thom Priano, other industry legends, he asked Douglas McCoy to be on R+Co’s education team before they had developed a single product. The vision they shared was enough for Douglas to know he wanted to be a part of it. As he put it, “R+Co is real life, it’s a hairdresser’s dream.”

I loved hearing Douglas McCoy’s first-hand experience working with Howard McLaren because that’s where he learned how to make every appointment a better experience for his clients. We’re always trying to improve the salon experience for our guests so it was a perfect class to lead into our busy holiday season.

Wella Color Artist Rian LaFleur Leads Advanced Color Correction Workshop

Color corrections are some of the most intense color appointments, and Rian LaFleur covered foundational techniques required to master the art of correcting a color issue. The class centered around the concept that there are four ways that color goes wrong. It’s either too light, too dark, too warm, or too cool. Focusing on these four color issues enables our stylists to always remain confident and in control when a color mishap walks through the door.

As a Wella Artist and Master Color Expert with 21 years of experience, Rian has a wealth of experience and expertise in the area of color corrections as well as fashion hairstyling. He has worked Fashion Weeks in Los Angeles and New York, and was named the Lead Stylist of Runway Houston.

“Rian emphasized the importance of protecting the integrity of our guests’ hair. He compared hair to fabric, saying “we want it to feel like silk, not burlap.” This really resonated with me because I’m always looking for new ways to explain to my guests that it can take more than one appointment to achieve the color they want in order to keep their hair healthy.”

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!
