Product Club was invited once again to attend Redken’s Artist Connection
(RAC) in Las Vegas this past weekend. Over 800 Redken educators attend this
event from all over the world. It’s a great opportunity to show off all of
Product Club’s Color Accessories. Hot items this year included the Foil
Assistant, Great Grip Bottle Cleaning Brush Set and the Great Grip
Station/Tray Mat. Other colorist favorites that are always a hit included
the Digital Color Scale and ColorWhip Electric Color Mixer.

A special thanks to Redken for including Product Club in this terrific event.

Thank you to every one who joined us on November 14th for our The Art of Highlighting Hands On class in Union New Jersey.

Small group, but really effective. It wouldn’t be a Rachel class with out having to make or McIvor some device………..

A few extra mannequins, make quite a nice flip chart stand when in a pinch.

The weekend started great with my flight from Phoenix to Milwaukee. I met Melissa & off we went to the Lake Geneva Grand Resort, aka the “Original” Playboy Club! Very cool place def. has the Hughe Heffner’s touch for sure! Sat.night Kevin & I mengled with stylist & salon consulats for all over the region. It was great to see such a warm response from everyone that Product Club was there! Sunday & Monday I worked our both helping stylists & salon owners restock up on every thing from foils & gloves, to measuring scale & mixers! All & all the show was great Redken, Pureology showcased awesome looks, & Phillip Anthony shared a classroom with us.( Great guy!) Melissa said that our Color Placement Classes attendence & participation form everyone was awesome, and it showed! Stylists were coming straight out of the classes to our booth buying Thermal Wraps, DVD’s, & whatever tools they needed to recreate looks from our latest set of instructional DVD’s, THE ART OF HIGHLIGHTING. Geat energy at this show! Thanks to all who came out & supported Product Club ! Till next time,this is Devin, saying “dont be left behind! invests in your self & tools, & people will invest in you!

Fun day in NJ, I still after all these years in the business am awed by the creativity of those in our industry. I look around and always find a little something to take back to the salon to keep my work fresh. I guess that is one of the reasons we keep seeing folks that have been in the industry for years, still attending shows. Along those lines, there was an enthusiastic response to the Product Club mobile foil assistant from seasoned professionals (and newbies). Who isn’t looking to work more efficiently and smarter? At a time when even are iPhones are working for us, why not have our very own “virtual” assistant “handing” us foils? Cheers. Till the next show..happy foiling.

Hello!  Melissa Johnson here!  We had a couple great days in Edison, NJ for the Emiliani Beauty Show.  Beginning by laughing and having some catch up time with Shawn.  (I learned how to color dread locks!)  I had a classroom with very enthusiastic students looking to break away from the everyday and learn to create some new artful highlighting techniques.  We began with inspiration for the techniques that were created for the DVD series by Laurie, Ruth and myself.  We moved into variations of techniques from the Art of Highlighting series.  We shared a variation of crescent panels, ray lights and switchback sets.  We had great students in the class who had great questions.  Many thanks to Joe our AV guy who saved the day by locating a MAC book adapter after I walked out and left mine sitting in the hotel(I guess I had my mind on the breakfast meat).   Day 2 it was Gabriel and myself working the show.  We also had a great day and I had another class Monday.  Had great feedback on the class was inspired by hearing that even someone who was retired behind the chair, yet is still in the industry wanted to grab a mannequin and try the new techniques!

It was also great to see Eric and Kristina and get filled in on all the new exciting product club products coming out soon!!! Keep your eyes peeled!  And if you haven’t tried it yet, check out the new Product Club Foil Assistant and the Art of Highlighting DVD’s!!

This past weekend I was in Grand Rapids with the team.  I love this show because it is run so well by Darcy at Salon Centrics.  The hairdressers that come to this show are an interested, excited bunch and they make putting on a class fun and stimulating.  I had so many smart questions and I loved the back and forth in the classrooms.  I pushed myself for this crew and came up with some new variations on the I Foil in Color DVDs.  We always tell people to make the techniques their own so I worked at doing a new batch of variations and it was so rewarding to share them.

Mary, Melissa and I made it to the Wig Party that they threw.  I always make it a point to attend this party – it may be the best one of the year!  Thanks GR… see you next year! Read more »

You know that you are a hair geek when the first site of a new hair clip makes you more excited than a kid on Christmas morning…. I knew Product Club was considering a new smaller clip ideal for foiling but I had absolutely no idea that they were already available to professionals…. Awesome! Our new great grip clips are absolutely amazing and I got to test them out on the demo stage at the Calgary ABA…. Needless to say, we sold out by the afternoon of the first day of the show! The show was a success as the professionals of Calgary totally embraced my twists to my favourite Product Club techniques such as Spot Lighting, Ray Lighting, Pinwheeling, and as of recent my new technique Corrugated Color. The enthusiasm was apparent as our DVD collections flew off the shelf!… What a fantastic weekend

This was my first time at the Amco show in texas. The venue was awesome, and texas was awesome! The booth activity was a little slow but lots of people stopping and learning at your demo stage in the booth which was great. Our classrooms went off amazing as well, seemed to be a lot of people coming back to the booth to ask more questions and wanting to learn more about who we are. We love that! All in all i think the show went off well and the demand for more eduction is there. Great time in Texas!!

This was such a great time again this year! I love being in my home area, with so many great artists. It is fun to poke around about hair, fashion and and our challenges within the salon. Everyone asks great questions, it feels comfortable talking with them and sharing ideas. I can’t wait until next year/ Thanks for all the good input.

Well everyone was right…. The people at the show were very helpful, generous and kind. Kristen and Alyssa were amazing, and really great to work with. The foil assistant is going to be a BIG hit!! Watch out! See you in Denver
