The Finer Points of Foiling
Paul Morrison
This class was conceived as a result of Paul Morrison educating his students on how to pass the ABCH performance examination. What Paul found was there were a great number of students taking a class on how to pass the performance examination who lacked the proper skills in foiling to pass the examination. This class is designed for individuals who would like to streamline their ability in properly placing foils in the hair. His class is not only for beginners but also for those who want to refine their foiling technique. Paul will cover things like sectioning the head, selecting the proper bleach and application of your product to avoid "bleeding" or leaving too much of "regrowth" as well as using your tools to take the struggle out of foiling.

We all know about Vidal Sassoon and his accomplishments. How did he inspire this team of haircutters to greatness? Tony Beckerman was there from the beginning. He saw, observed and experienced how the greatest revolution in hairdressing too place. He was part of a movement that even he did not understand while he was going through it. Now, years later he has had the opportunity to reflect on what he and others experiences. It was this cult like movement was so powerful that it took on a life of its own. Let Tony tell you in his own words how and why it happened. Thoroughly entertaining and inspirational.

Andre noticed...
JENNIFER ANISTON DARKER, GRAYER?
 For years, Jennifer Anistons' haircolor has long been admired and requested by clients visiting professional haircolorists. Although she has her hair highlighted, it is naturally a beautiful soft brown color. It is never stark and never overdone and to some degree very consistent. Perhaps the most creative and challenging part of haircoloring is keeping a consistent haircolor on your client month after month. It is for that reason we applaud Jennifer Anistons' haircolorist because her haircolor always looks great. Maybe it varies a little, but you do not see any big swings in her haircolor. I suspect a big change is about to happen in Jennifers' color because her natural color is becoming darker and appears to be getting gray. This seemed most evident in her recent movie, "Wanderlust". Her new growth is visibly a little darker sprinkled with gray. The next step is a big one, disguising the gray and highlighting the new growth so it does not become brassy. Her haircolorist I'm certain will not disappoint us. Let's see how her haircolorist handles it. |

Maintaining Integrity
Maintaining highlighted hair continues to be a primary service in salons today. The most important consideration is controlling the increased porosity of colored hair. Porosity influences every factor of the service. Colorists consider many factors from choice of weave or slice techniques and foil placement as well as formulation--choosing bleach or high-lift color, and the volume of peroxide. Contrast in tones is important but knowing how much and placement is the artistic mastery of this service.
A key point that ABCH evaluators look for in the Highlight retouch quadrant portion of the Performance Exam, is that the colorists demonstrated bleach sensitivity (highlight the regrowth area and then stagger out the bleach only onto the dark strands in the foil.)
Preserving Your Client's Highlighted Hair, a Summit class taught by Heidi Mittelstadt, covers these topics and more. This three hour class includes a $15 surcharge for maintenance of the mannequin. Mock bleach is used in class.

Lowlights from the Editor  This photo is a great example of seeing beauty in the art of the process, which sometimes can equal the beautiful results. This model is prepped for NY Fashion Week February 2012, Zang Toi Collection. Vintage looks are hot but are your skills up to date? Can you still fingerwave? pincurl? Do you offer body wave(texture services)? Don't be left behind--at least learn to do a double French twist or the popular Victory Roll. Great styling gets noticed and shows off your beautiful haircolor results. Google tutorials for up-dos! Write to me... and offer to write a guest article in this newsletter. We may publish your story in Highlights!
