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!”
-Madison Viggers, Stylist

Editorial Styling Genius Dennis Lanni Leads Creative Workshop

Dennis Lanni grew up helping out in his father’s barbershop – sweeping the floor and breathing in the atmosphere and falling in love with the tools, sights and smells. This is where he first learned the importance of hair and how it made people feel.

Dennis Lanni’s passion is making hair sculptures out of everyday objects – he is inspired by wood and stones, and anything he finds while thrifting. His passion for originality drives his work in full-time styling on editorial photo shoots for celebrities and magazines – his work has been featured on the cover of several magazines including Rolling Stone, Fashion, Harper’s Bazaar, and Vogue. Notable celebrities he has styled include Jared Leto, Miley Cyrus, Amy Winehouse, Courtney Love and Zoey Deschanel. Ad Campaigns Dennis Lanni has styled include mega-brands such as Apple, Coca Cola, Nautica, French Connection, and Chloe.

His most recent work for New York Fashion Week featured Big 60’s Hair adorned with tiny white bows for Sandy Liang, and a variety of ringlets, bobs and mullets for Batsheva, including a fun blonde wig on actress-turned-model Christina Ricci. As much editorial experience as he’s had, Dennis Lanni is a well of innovative creativity that always produces fresh new ideas.

Dennis Lanni is such a smart, skilled stylist and I loved having a front row seat to his whimsical creative process. He literally goes in any direction he feels drawn to, I’m not entirely sure he knows what he’ll end up with before he begins and that’s what he loves about editorial hairstyling. It’s about doing what’s fun and looks cool or different that no one else has tried before.
