4 the beginning

5 Why Beauty School? Systematically provides a sense and overview of hair Technique & Applicationstrong fundamentals, key to everything you will do as a stylist Theory important to understand the science of what hair can and will do. Practical hands-on with all types of hair. learn a variety of shapes, styles, textures Perfect place to learn your craft before going out into the working world of hair

6 Why Beauty School? I enhanced my education with a Saturday job in a salon. I got booth experiences from beauty school and a salon; perfect combination! I assisted for 6 months, to continue my experience and convert what I learned at beauty school to the real world of a salon. The reality it was mastering and gathering more experience. Practice, practice, practice! Master the technique, learn to control the technique, and keep your eyes & ears to other methods of doing hair. Then evaluate which is the best, most effective method or technique for you.

8 WHERE DO YOU GO FROM HERE? Finding the right salon- look for a salon that has a high standard and reputation. Choose a salon for the next Phase of your career again, continue your education. Departmentalized salons what are these? What are the benefits? Train beyond the 100% so you exceed others.

9 making the transition

10 Ask Yourself: Who am I? What do I really want? Where do I want to go? ALWAYS be honest and true to yourself; do not waste time trying to fit into others plans! Re-evaluate over time; as you grow personally & professionally, your goals should too.

11 Keep moving until you find the right fit After many years of trying to find the right salon, sometimes you have to experience what you don t like to learn what you do like. I eventually learned what felt like the right fit and what did not. My advice, if you re not getting the right training, or feeling great about going to work, you re not being challenged in a positive way to constantly improve your work. Move to a salon that you LOVE! Move on and don t waste time. In the long run it achieves absolutely nothing to linger.

13 You can t be great at everything (and it s ok!) Are you Jack of all trades, master of nothing? I was! It always shows in the end result if you spread your talent to thin and don t excel in certain areas. It takes time and some soul searching to discover what you truly love doing. Your instincts usually guide you. Tune in to refining the skills you love performing you can t be fabulous at everything. Do what you love with hair. Cutter, colorist, long hair, men s design, etc. Only you can make the right decisions do not allows other to force you to do things you don t like. My advice is find what niche feels right, then do it and do it really well!

15 The day a hair show changed my life

16 More Education! At the age of 26, I was working in a salon that was pretty good. I went to a hair show, The Wella Vogue competition. Featuring some iconic hair dressers, one of them Trevor Sorbie. 1 hour out of my normal routine changed my entire life--forever!

17 Proving Grounds The entry test- one length, layers and graduation. The plan- I was re-learning how to perfect and master the techniques I had always known. Above average was unacceptable. Perfection was the norm and only option. Skill+application+polish+finish = EXPERT! Perfection always shows. Control is the hair controlling me, or am I in charge?! Turning point- My major light bulb moment came a little later in my career. But it s never ever too late!

18 Education Goal: Be Unique Trevor had a unique vision and philosophy that I had not experienced ever before. There s more to hair than just cutting and coloring; there s more to working in a salon, look at your options and express yourself. Editorial photo shoots Academies or educational institutesteaching Celebrities, commercial, runway

19 The Product Company The product company experience. Approached by Shiseido/Joico they were looking for an art director. What does my role involve? Why me? Life is all about relationships. Good, bad and ugly.

20 The Product Company Find a manufacturer that you feel you have a connection with and that inspires you with their products, science and artistry. Connect with manufacturers who are always looking for enthusiastic hairdressers of all levels. Expand your horizons your artistic skills will develop and your communication skills will grow. Benefits of the job- can be a great opportunity for branding!

23 learning day-to-day

24 Connect! Spread the word connect with those that can help, navigate, support your career: friends, editors, mentors, etc. PR- much easier than in the past! Use social media such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. to your advantage. The power of an image- sells YOU 24/7, worldwide. Prepare for some rejection- rather unpleasant, but still an opportunity for growth. Not everyone is going to like everything you do; take it in stride & stay positive!

25 Get Involved! Where to look shows, seminars Volunteer don t be too proud to roll up your sleeves, be humble, help those in need! Salon Owners- offer ongoing education, outside events, activities Agencies fashion shows, celebrities, etc. So many ways to engage in hairdressing...explore!

26 Be Thankful! Lasting impressions- an appreciative attitude goes a lon way! I'm very grateful for the wonder career and opportunities that ha been presented to me through amazing mentors that spend endless hours teaching, encouraging and motivating.

27 Give Back! Never forget your roots so important! Your mentors admiration and respect! Who made you what you are today? Treat and inspire others, as you would like to be treated and inspired. At the end of the day you look inward and find that what you gave of yourself will define who you ve become. So learn, teach, give, work hard, have fun and make time to nurture yourself physically, mentally, intellectually and spiritually the world is in the palm of your hand!

28 DON T ASK - DON T GET! IF YOU DON T TRY, YOU LL NEVER KNOW. FOR EVERY REASON TO NOT DO SOMETHING, THERE WILL BE EQUALLY AS MANY REASONS TO DO IT! It s that simple IN THE END, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND EVERYTHING TO GAIN BY TAKING RISKS AND GOING AFTER WHAT YOU WANT!
