I spend the last week staying in West Hollywood, a few blocks down from Nine Zero One Salon on Melrose Place.. I was fortunate to attend their FIRST ever "bootcamp" education- where 10 stylists show up from 10am-4pm for 5 days and receive education from one of the most talked about salons on social media.
The break down-
Day one- Styling with Tauni Dawson
Day two-Men's cutting with Cory James
Day three- All about Blondes with Tauni Dawson
Day four-Hairpainting with Nicole Leal
Day five- Wigs-cut and color with Marissa Marino + All about Reds with Amber Maynard
The Nine Zero One Salon Artists in their Element! Below right, I didn't get a photo of Amber working, so here is her Model! ;)
I mean...this line up!! ;) SO fantastic. I have to say, this week was such a wonderful experience. Nine Zero One Salon is truly stepping up the education industry for stylists. So for all of my fellow hair nerds and hairstylists, if you are wondering if the classes are worth it, YES. They are. Value your craft, and value your skill. SHARPEN your skill.
For my clients- Please know, I continue my education for you. A little for me, a lot for you. I love to stay aware of new approaches, and observe "how they do it." I gain so much value from my education, and I strive to embody it. I hope you feel it too. :)
So to sum up my little education update- My top two favorite take aways from this past week--
1. Wig cutting, coloring. I have this HUGE gravitation towards this direction..how much a well cut and colored wig can transform women who are in need of them. I will definitely be growing this avenue-stay tuned!
2. Blondes blondes blondes! I have always loved making a beautiful blonde head of hair..but I feel SO excited to utilize the tips and tricks I've learned! There is more maintenance and services involved, but man the results are so worth it. So all you ladies out there who are looking for a blonde obsessed stylist--I'm your girl. Lets make those highlights classy, not brassy! ;)
