Last week was the IBS show in NYC. I love this show and really enjoy seeing my team and all my friends from the city. I had amazing turnout in my classes and did my best to help them hear me. They were wildly understanding with the circumstances we taught in. This year we were in a large hall with curtains around each classroom and it was tough to hear and be heard! I am so grateful everyone toughed it out and helped us have one of our best crowds ever! I love to see those of you that come year after year. It makes me so happy to build our relationships and hash out ideas together. If you ever think of anything you’d like to focus on I’d love to hear it. Post it on our Facebook page and I’ll do my best to address it. Best to you all!
San Jose 2013
I always look forward to San Jose. The people who come there are always eager to learn and well rounded. I seem to learn from them every time I could there. They always share good information and are a fun group to talk with. I ran into a woman who was in my class last year and she sent me a client that had moved from San Francisco. I did her hair last week! What a great way to referral! Can’t wait until next year!
West Coast, Best Coast
Last weekend at ISSE in Long Beach, CA, Product Club was a ray of sunshine.
With great classes led by Adrienne Rogers and Melissa Johnson (of the East Coast 
), students and stylists alike were enlightened to the newest foiling techniques available.
I enjoyed getting to finally visit Southern California, and I was very impressed by the level of education and trendsetting there.
Also, being a highlighting junkie- LOVED the beautiful blondes! Sun-kissed, platinum, ombre-d, rooted- wow!
Until next year, Best Coast

AMCO SHOW AUSTIN 2012
As usual, I had a great time in Texas at the AMCO Austin show.  I’m always excited to see familiar faces and share new techniques with this always eager crowd.  We added an extra class time this year which was a success.  The Art of Highlighting DVD’s sold out  and continue to be a great resource for motivated colorist all over the country.  See you all next year and I can’t wait to hear how everyone adapted the techniques they learned into their own everyday color work.
AMCO show
As always i had an awesome weekend with Nicole, Ruth , and Alyssa working in Austin Texas this past weekend. We had awesome crowds the whole weekend in the booth with sales and also demo stage as well. Ruth and Nicole’s classes were also a great hit and they were both full, both days. We also did the best in dvd sales ive ever seen use do this past weekend as well by pretty much selling out of every one we had. Its great to see so many people out there wanting to learn more and better them selfs and their guest’s hair. Nicole, Ruth, and Alyssa also adopted a dog we found in the streets of Austin for the night…..Never a dull moment on a product club trip!lol All in all it was a great weekend and a successful show for us.

Teach others and teach yourself
The beauty industry is a fascinating world. It’s always changing and there’s never a dull moment. I have the honor of working with a hair color education company called Product Club Color Accessories. Unlike most hair color education we strive to teach technique rather than a specific color line. We have a line of professional colorist tools that set the tone for an amazing experience behind the chair.
I believe when you are required to teach a subject you continuously educate yourself. For example this whole blogging thing has forced me to learn the importance of tagging and dive in deeper to social media. Something I would have never thought twice about if I never ventured into the blogging universe.
Nervous in front of crowds? I have come to find that waiting to think or plan about my seminars until a week before does me well. Live your life and when it comes time to stand and deliver remember that the people in front of you are there because they feel your knowledge is valuable. If you make a mistake, laugh because it’s silly and move on. We are all human!

What a fun weekend with Ruth and Kristina. We has a great and amazing people watching! The class room were awesome, all my groups were very interactive and shared good client situations. I shared with everyone about my “unicorn” blonde woman at the airport and I think we all saw her! Thanks for sharing a great show.
