Mags Kavanaugh
Haircolor to Enhance Face Shapes
 
Mags Kavanaugh's career as an actor, makeup artist and celebrity haircolorist will show you how to make your clients look like movie stars.  Attend her fast paced class and you will find a creative artist whose goal is to make clients look the best they can look. She has the ability to stimulate your senses with the fantastic techniques she created. What she teaches is not fluff, she teaches everyday techniques you can take back to your salon on Tuesday and put to use. Mags is simply a genius. 
Ame and Dennis Metcalfe
The Perfect Consultation 
 

Ame and Dennis Metcalfe have developed a blueprint for consultation that is easy to follow and will guarantee results. The system has been an essential tool they utilize on a daily basis in their busy studio. They have proven it effective in coaching their own staff and observing their success. The methods have resulted in better communication, abundant referrals and being instrumental in achieving financial rewards. What you will achieve in this class is expert communication skills, how to respond to challenges, how to never be intimidated by any of your guests and most important what not to say to them. The haircolor is a success or a failure before you ever apply the color. This class is a must for those who become lost for words at exactly the wrong time. Don't miss this class!

Ivan Castillo
Forget Your Dark Hair Problems
 

Dark hair has its challenges --- strong undertones and red tones which clients often do not like. There are methods and techniques that can be used to overcome client objections. The secret of working with dark hair is knowing your limitations and not going beyond them. You will learn from Ivan that there is no magic bullet when it comes to coloring dark hair. Ivan has a clientele of dark-haired clients and has trained many Latino haircolorists how to stay out of trouble. You will gain great insight on handling dark hair in his class.

Alima Korchinskaya
Haircolor for Long Hair

Coloring long hair so that it is complementary when it is worn long requires special skills. Clients who wear their hair up the majority of the time, but also wear their hair down, require attention to detail. There are many variations for this situation, let Alima demonstrate them for you. In this unique class, Alima will use a live completed model to show her handiwork. She will explain in detail several unique techniques on how to design a hairstyle adding color where it is needed for all lengths of hair. She will cover the choice of haircoloring for selected looks and how to achieve a delicate and balanced volume in your designs. Let Alima inspire you, boost your creativity and increase your income.

BE! BEAUTYMAKER and Beauty Entertainment Magazine features
ABCH Energizing Summit and votes Andre # 10  out of the Top 40 
Haircolorists in America

 

This year's Energizing Summit is Drawing Record Numbers of Attendees to June 9-10 Energizing Summit in Los Angeles.

Andre Nizetich is not one to brag about himself, but every once in awhile, BE! says it's important to tout a courageous leader like Andre for what he has accomplished in his storied career.

He's walked the walk!

 

There should no question in many viewers' minds that Andre Nizetich is one of the top haircolorists and educators in the world. (He, after all, wrote the book on haircolor education and is responsible for certifying over 1,800 haircolorists in the American Board of Certified Haircolorists using the ABCH curriculum.) That's a huge number, and even bigger contribution to the beauty politic. And when it comes to politics, he is also responsible for keeping "The Truth" about real hair color alive and well.  

If  you're planning to come to Los Angeles to see Andre and ABCH's star lineup of color masters and guest artists - There are only a few days left for early bird discounts.

Check out BE!-29's TOP 40 Haircolorists in America. Congrats again to every colorist. Because of you, events like yesterday's Academy Awards make the stars look fab!
