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

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! ;)

"Sooo you paint hair?"

"I mean, you literally paint hair with a product that allows true lift for saturation?!"--I apologize for the industry lingo above-this is my hair brain FREAKING OUT!

As a stylist who has been playing around with balayage for 4 years and experimenting with different products, this is music to my ears. I feel like my tool box has seriously tripled in size...how so? I took a fantastic class with Aubrey Nelson.

Aubrey Nelson is an incredibly talented hair colorist who specializes in the art of hair painting..and she is seriously good.

Aubrey working her magic! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

I was so excited to be a part of her San Diego Hair Color Workshop this past weekend. It was like the icing on the cake for me, a hair nerd who just LOVES balayage and effortless looking hair.

The Color Workshop was the perfect blend. Enough time to talk details about the technique of hair painting and two models to practice on.

Kinda scary right?? Wait till you see the after photo...

So whats this mean for you, my clients?

- I will warn you this product is a bit messier than we are use to so you will feel like your hair is covered in white paste..but don't fret! I've got you covered and you'll leave with something like this:

Total babe, right??

We will be having lots of fun transitioning your color or just adding new dimension into your existing color. Hair painting is allowing me to customize EVEN further, creating beautiful and dimensional looks.

New clients, interested in experiencing hair painting for the first time?

I’d love to have you join me in the adorable Downtown Burlingame.

contact:

info@bmastershair.com for appointments.

- Take some time, get your hair all fabulous and meet up with a girlfriend or two for drinks after..I mean, Pizza Delfina and cocktails at Barrel House seem like a pretty good ending to a fun, pampering hair appointment.

Who wouldn't want to show off their new locks when they could look like this:
