If you haven’t taken a Product Club Class yet, we really encourage you to give it a try. The classes offer much more than just great new techniques that will help you build your color business. We’ve had feedback on class evaluations that have included comments like, “I’ve taken a lot of classes and by far yours was the absolute best… educator was amazing”. “
Don’t change a thing, this is by far the most I’ve learned in a long time, just do more, more, more”! “Educator was down to earth, one of us, very knowledgeable, would take more classes with her”. One of our educators inspired someone to even open her own salon.
I don’t know how it happened, but this morning my first client took me forever! I was flat lighting and I think the fact that I love her influenced the amount of foils in her hair. Way too many. I changed the foil color when I upped the volume of her developer in her lightener and we laughed that she looked like a strawberry. So even though I was already late and my next (also awesome) client was here I went all out and made her the delicious berry that she is. Ridiculous but fun! Happy summer…
So, this Monday I was asked to teach a Beyond Basic Foiling Class in Union New Jersey with one of our distributors; Emiliani.
So when I called my “contact person” to check the count of the class, and he said there will only be 6 students, there is always a bittersweet feeling with this. On one hand , you start to feel like ” I suck, everyone hates me”
And on the other hand you feel like “Ok, easier for me to get to everyone and that way I can even throw in some extra material to see if it is worth throwing in future classes. Needless to say on Sunday night while in my nightgown and aglass of wine in hand, I had an idea to intermix 2 techniques on one head to show them how you can easily do this in the salon with the right education. Welllll, it was a success the students were great and found it very beneficial. Thank you New Jersey! ; )

This was just creepy/funny so I thought I should post!
Today, Breast Cancer Awareness is everywhere and for a good reason!! Every month in October, Product Club breaks out our light pink/silver Pop-Up Foil and our pink and silver ribbon foil that is embossed and we go at it trying to sell this because we make a donation to the Susan G. Komen Fund for our foil!!! How great is that! This year, I was approached to come up with a technique and a name using a breast cancer survivor as model. I am so passionate about this cause, there was no way I could say no! So, about a month ago, I came up with a highlighting technique and a catchy name to go with it. Yesterday, Patrick McIvor and I along with my breast cancer survivor model (Debbie, who is actually my boyfriend’s mom) and my makeup artist, Dez shot our very own DVD that will be going on all the Breast Cancer Awareness Foil!!! Can you believe that?!?! I am over the moon exciting and can’t wait to hear the feedback on the technique.
Keep your eyes open in October for Breast Cancer Foil and our DVD too!!!
I recently did a hands on class in Urbandale, IA for an awesome group of students! We shared techniques from our DVD iFoil in Color, which is our most advanced techniques from Product Club. We dove right in and talking up hair color trends, trouble shooting with hair color results, and shared stories throughout the day of why they love to do hair and how many years they have been in the industry. It created such a warm and energizing vibe. The students themselves were fantastic!! So eager to learn and picked up the techniques quickly and pretty fast too, very impressive. Well Urbandale … it was nice to be in your town for a bit, hopefully I will making it back soon!
…and so is sunny Orlando, Florida! Orlando Premiere was rocking and so was Product Club. We had two great educators, Melissa Johnson and Adrienne Rogers, teaching fashion-forward, salon wearable foiling techniques to the many eager students at the show. Along with assisting in Melissa’s class, which was fantastic and so fun, I had the pleasure of getting to have some fun and even pop up on our demo stage at the booth. Adam was invigorating new thoughts and ways to use the tools we already have by styling hair using our foils. Laurie and Devon were great demonstrating some of the endless possibilities we have at our fingertips in changing the way we color hair. The whole gang had a blast and can’t wait to do it again! Check out some of our action shots .
As always I love this weekend! Lots of work.. great people and always find a new love (product/ technique) I arrived and was greeted by lovely Kristina, Alyssa and Melissa. We headed to our usual resting spot near the convention center, with a scenic drive through the area. The show was great, so many different types of hairstylists. What a great craft to be in with so many creative, imaginative people. I will have to say my favorite product seller is the tech track.. such a no brainer to have! It is such a useful tool, all colorist can have a seamless system. I love the amazing talent with our team, Adam is always fun to watch with his styling techniques and our lovely Amanda got on stage and rocked it! The best part is when one of the students actually got on stage with her for at least 10 mins. There is a intense student. Devin is fun to watch, he is such a great demonstrator and holds crowd with his techniques and visuals. And of course the trip would not be full unless we did something silly… So at the end of the 1st day some of us ended with somersaults. What a fantastic weekend!
The Premiere show in Orlando is always such a great show! Great people and great energy! I had a full class on sunday with 35 attendees in the hands on class for Beyond Basic Foiling. We began with understanding what foil placements create what types of effects and movements to accent haircuts and how to space highlights to create different contrasts within the hair. We then followed with a face framing placement to create a ribbon-y color effect by the face. Followed by a pinwheel wrap using thermal wraps. This is a very cool effect to create alot of movement in varying lengths of hair. The pinwheel is great for both a conservative look or a bolder one. We also covered splicing variations and paneling. It was a great class and I was personally greatful to have had the assistance of Amanda!
I also had 3 separate 1 hour classes where we covered a condensed version of the hands on class. The time went so fast. I also really enjoyed seeing our other team members on the demo stage sharing so many awesome ideas from Adam’s cool foil styling techniques, Laurie’s great highlighting techniques, Devon’s techniques and charming all the ladies;) and Amanda’s way of helping people master their foiling mechanics! You all rock!
I am looking forward to the cool new Great Grips line additions coming out!
Just remember to watch out for falling banners! (fyi-my foot is almost healed!)
We recently exhibited at the Premiere Beauty Show in Orlando, Florida. This proves to be a great show for Product Club each and every year. The hairstylists in the southeast are always so eager to learn new techniques and really take advantage of all the education we have to offer. In addition to the ongoing education in our pavillion on the floor, we also had 2 hands-on classes with over 50 students total and 3 demo style classes each day.
