Samuel Cole Salon stylists Michael Knight and Kristen Carson  recently attended Bumble & bumble University in New York City’s historic meat packing district. Michael and Kristin enhanced their skill set by studying with master hairdressers at the House of Bumble in a rigorous 4 day course entitled Design Studio.

 A day at Bumble and bumble is very challenging but inspiring! No matter how many years you have been doing hair they always find a way to excite you. I returned to Raleigh having a  sense of reinvention and a great feeling of renewal,” commented Knight. 

Knight and Carson honed their skills, found inspiration and discovered different and unique ways to focus their ideas, expand their repertoire and learn to view hairdressing in new contexts where the New York Times has called the “Harvard of Hair”.

Continuing education and inspiration are the cornerstones of our salon. We only hire stylists who are passionate about the craft of hairdressing and whose continuing education goals align with ours,” explains Joelle Ray, co-owner of Samuel Cole Salon along with her husband, Jack Ray.
