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

Wella Master Color Expert Stevie Smith Showcases Creative Styling

“Mermaid Hair” has taken the internet by storm, with the brightest combinations of pinks, blues, and purples paired with electric greens and yellows.  Stevie Smith gave this hair color phenomenon new life with her Wella Master Color expertise in our Master Class.  Muting the rose and denim hues to blend with natural blonde and brunette gives the model a fun dimensional look while maintaining the integrity of her hair.  The colorful panels can be hidden for a professional day-time style or accentuated with a side part and a few curls.

As highly regarded colorist and stylist, Stevie Smith’s work has been featured in magazines such as Allure, Chicago Social and Chicago Bride, and she has styled television and movie actors, theater dancers and fashion models.

Stevie’s innovative take on fundamental  techniques created an inspiring cut and color combination – I loved learning from her!” – Stylist Cara Harrison

Heather + Breanna Sharpen Razor Skills in Bb.U Cutting Workshop

Bumble and bumble’s flagship education center, Bumble and bumble University, is top in the industry.  Their Bb.Cut Foundations class expands stylists’ knowledge of Cutting Theory, Advanced Consultation Skills, and Bumble and bumble products in addition to refining their razor cutting skills.  Designers Heather Simpson and Breanna Shaffer attended this class to sharpen their eye and freshen their perspectives on the foundations of cutting.

Instructors Coco Santiago and James Ruiz demonstrated techniques and facilitated a hands-on workshop in which Heather + Breanna created a long layered haircut and a timeless classic, the bob haircut, on their models with individual feedback and guidance from the instructors.  This class is instrumental in further mastering the art of razor cutting.

Bb.U allows us as stylists to elevate our craft in a setting that provides the freedom to expand our range of techniques with models who are looking for an artistic and drastic change to their hair.  It was exhilarating!” – Stylist Heather Simpson
