What we've been up to this month....

A part from the salon being busy, we've been absolutely crazy, busy training this month....take a look at what we've been up to!!

Salon Ideas - JOICO by KAT

I was given the opportunity to take part in a hands-on concept called Salon i-deas, which has been developed and inspired by the elements of our environment and surroundings. I learnt a bunch of new and innovative cutting and colouring techniques which have enabled me to broaden my creativity and versatility in my hairstyling.
In the picture shown with my model, I named her Ruby, you will see the end result of some of the techniques demonstrated on the day. CUT: The alpha, COLOUR: The two way. This was a very fun style and I have already implemented some of these techniques on a number of my clientele.
I can't wait for more JOICO INSPIRATION!!!

Infusion Cut & Colour - L'Oreal by CARMELITA

The L'Oreal course that I went to was about different ways to cut & colour the hair. I found the haircut interesting and it taught me different ways to texture the hair for a really funky, free style that gave heaps of body and movement.

The colour was really complimentary to the haircut and gave a nice subtle look which is great for those people who want something different but not to big of a change. I really enjoyed the fresh ideas and feel that it has helped me grow as a stylist.

Salon E-Motion - L'Oreal by ANN

Although a small number turned out for this workshop, it was worth attending. I was quite excited to do this course to see how well (or not) the salon measured up against concepts of 'enhancing customers journey' through a salon.
The course highlighted industry trends that attracts clients as well as keeping existing clients loyal; effective marketing strategies. As well as using all forms of media that will keep your business successful, relevant and profitable.

I particularly found the industry stats intriguing, overall highlighting that salons need to give customers more options to help with enhancing customers experience to the salon. I look forward to putting a few new ideas in place to improve this.

Lash Extension Training - Beauty Gallery by ANN

Beauty Gallery offer a wide range of beauty training, based in Auckland but often come to Wellington to provide training to those like myself who want to up skill.

I had lovely Sam walk me through the intermediate level of lash extensions which involved code of Practice and a bit of theory. As well as suggestions in areas where to improve.

I picked up some great tips in how to better apply the lash extensions to natural lashes. It is a timely process when applying a full set of lashes of which you must be prepared to spend up to 2 hours lying still. Infills are quicker.
