Oribe’s Essential Curly Cutting Workshop with Gardner Edmunds

Who doesn’t LOVE natural curls! With the right cut and products natural texture can be a show stopper! Samuel Cole had the privilege of having Oribe Artist and Educator Gardner Edmunds in the salon to teach us just that!

Gardner has worked with top industry professionals and his expertise in precision-based scissor and razor cutting is highly sought after. He has travelled and taught at numerous hair shows and seminars across the country, and his clientele includes Olivia Palermo, Rebecca Minkoff, and Kelly Ripa. Our stylists watched him demo Oribe’s curly cutting technique on our very own Michelle Cogliati, master stylist and educator at Samuel Cole Salon. Look at those CURLS! Definitely a show stopper!

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

Model done by Alley Biehl

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!”

901 Senior Stylist + 901 Academy Educator
Tauni Dawson

Located in the heart of Los Angeles, trendsetting Nine Zero One Salon is the salon-home for dozens of celebrities and prides itself on creating “The Best You” and sharing their professional expertise in their prestigious 901 Academy.  Nine Zero One’s clientele includes Heidi Klum, Eva Longoria, Charlize Theron, Selena Gomez, Sarah Hyland, Justin Bieber, Julianne Hough, and Ashley Graham.

Stylists Libby + Morgan went to their Break It Up Tone It Down color class, which focused on creating richness in color, controlling warm tones, and color blending.  Their educator Tauni Dawson began her styling career assisting Riawna Capri to Hollywood clientele, on-location photoshoots and high-profile weddings.

I loved the focus on color placement because it demonstrated ways we can “work smarter, not harder” to achieve these gorgeous looks without an hours-long appointment.”

Oribe Global Educator Gardner Edmunds

Gardner Edmunds and stylist Katie Pursche

Oribe global educator and celebrity stylist Gardner Edmunds was on-hand at Samuel Cole Salon to share his cutting expertise in a class featuring the Unstructured Bob. This hairstyle is perfect for women with finer textures and those who want a classic textured, tousled look with minimal structure. It’s a style seen worn by Julianne Hough, Kate Hudson, and Lucy Hale.

The unstructured bob provides a great frame for eyes and cheekbones, and adds softness to the person’s overall style. During the class, Gardner emphasized creating texture and movement with a razor. Stylist were inspired by his visual,  free-style approach, giving a very sexy, undone look to the bob – a traditionally a very geometric cut.  This technique creates a fresh, modern take on a very classic look.

This is one of my favorite haircuts and I loved Gardner’s refreshing take on it. Using a razor gives clients the wispy ends they love without making their hair look thin. It’s the best!

They are a luxury hair accessory that require more maintenance and care than regular hair. Here's some tips to help you care for extensions.⁠
⁠
◾️ Use Mineral Sunscreen to avoid chemicals that could turn your extensions peach/orangey.⁠
⁠
◾️ Use Rub-on Sunscreen to prevent spray from accidently getting on your extensions.⁠
⁠
◾️ We recommend using salon quality hair care products.⁠
⁠
◾️Use a Serum or Oil daily to hydrate extensions.⁠
⁠
◾️Wear a loose bun or braid when wearing your hair up.⁠
⁠
◾️ Brush extensions gently, working your way up the hair shaft to detangle. Do not brush directly on extension bond.⁠
⁠
◾️ Always apply a heat protection product and use medium heat setting when styling. ⁠

Summer Styling Tips from Advanced Senior Designer Summer Styling Tips from Advanced Senior Designer Stylist, Fallyn!⁠
⁠
How to diffuse your curls! 👩‍🦱⁠
⁠
What your need:⁠
❤️blow dryer with a diffuser⁠
💜clips and combs⁠
💙your favorite curl products! I love all in one milk from davines, davines love curl controller, and davines sea salt spray⁠
⁠
After applying your products, twist your hair in little sections then diffuse with your dryer.⁠
⁠
A few tips:⁠
💛avoid letting your hair sit on the dryer, this dries out the ends of your hair and creates frizz. point the air flow of your dryer down or at your hair⁠
💚try not to disrupt your twists until they are 100% dry⁠
🧡if time allows, let your twists air dry a little before going in with a dryer to save time⁠
