In this big-hearted Valentine's season we've searched through Instagram to find some of our favorite hair styles that remind us of love. Not the Hallmark, red-stained love you find in stores, but the grit and passion for craft that you can only find from a hair stylist.
Eva Lam
Most of Eva Lam’s work is done in gentle pastels, which would also be perfect for this time of year, but these carefully placed roses in a loose braid stand out with a classical beauty. Something about the rustic placement of the flowers in the messy intricacy of the hair pulls us back into a calm appreciation of a well-tended garden.
Jessica Warburton
Jessica Warburton has survived both breast and ovarian cancer and came out the other side brimming with inspiration and passion. So many of her styles are distinct from each other because she styles from the individuality of her client.
Josie Deseray
The partnership between Josie and Deseray is a beacon of hope in this industry. Their success as a team shows what stylists can achieve through collaboration and mutual respect, and their recent Youtube channel launch is the beginning of a beautiful friendship with the rest of the hair art community.
Fanola Color Class
Now that you’re feeling hair inspired, we'd like to announce that, on Monday February 15th, Sadie Gray is returning to our home office to teach our second Fanola Color Class.
She'll cover coloring basics as well as color theory with Fanola. There will also be a Reflections section where she will take questions from stylists who were at the last class. This won't just a basic introduction, although this is probably one of the best ways to become acquainted with the Italian-based color. But there will be opportunity to delve a little deeper into technique and formula.
This will be a small class where we hope stylists will feel comfortable enough ask questions when they need to and interact.
The class starts at 10 AM, and we'll be serving coffee and doughnuts at 9:30. We hope you'll come join us, not just to learn about Fanola, but to meet other stylists from around the area.
Last time there were several people who couldn't make it either because they were out of town or it didn't fit in their schedule. So this time we've created a Periscope account for the class. For up to 24 hours after the class you can check in on @cassiesalonguys to catch up on what you missed.
There will be plenty more classes and events in the future, so stay tuned here and follow us @SalonGuys for news and stylist features.
