Continuing Introduction of our Summit Educators:

Eliminate Formulating Frustrations
                                                                                        Pamela Pacheco, ABCH
Sunday: 11:00 am
Monday: 9:30 am, 2:00 pm

Do you have difficulty in communicating with your client the color she
wants? Do you know the color the client wants but you have difficulty
formulating to obtain the color? This class will teach you to never fear
haircolor again. It is a matter of understanding what a color is capable
of. Being able to predict the outcome of a color is a gift that keeps on
giving. Haircolor only becomes complicated when you do not have a
full understanding of how and where the color is deposited. Let Pamela eliminate your formulating frustrations.
Color Re-Direction  
                                                                                                           Eric Charles Mokotoff
Sunday: 9:30 am, 2:00 pm
Monday: 11:00 am, 3:30 pm

Surf the rainbow and explore the relationship of tone, level, pigment
and developer to achieve predictable results. Learn about shifting and manipulating the hair in order to redirect it to the results you want rather than de-constructing it to only reconstruct it. 
The fabric of hair is everything when it comes to our canvas and therefore we need to treat it with care and create with care. Start thinking about what you have to work with and make something wonderful from what you have and save the integrity of the hair for healthy shiny fabulous results. Let Eric show you how in this updated version, including new elements, of last years fantastic class! 
Balance and Boundaries in Beauty                                
Lisa Koebbe Beven  ABCH 
Monday only : 11:00 am and 3:30 pm
In this informative, interactive, engaging class, we will discuss what balance is, how to determine what will work and what will not work for our clients and how to communicate productively. 
How to better exercise our Creative Vision and the application of it in working with our clients, not without them, to achieve extraordinary finished results. Technical patterns and techniques that I use in my salon, formulations and live model transformations. 
High-Lift Color vs. Bleach                         
 Stephen Adams
Sunday: 11:00 am 
Monday: 9:30 am 2:00 pm

Do you know which coloring product to use based on texture, density, and color? Take the time to discover the differences between high-lift colors and lighteners (bleaches) with Stephen Adams. Which one will produce the best results for your clients? Explore your options and obtain an in depth understanding of the benefits of both and how to use them in the same services. In this class the student will review the chemistry and science behind these products and how lightning effects the hair structure. Comparing and breaking down the properties of these coloring tools will set you up for success when formulating for your clients when they are going lighter.
Celebrity Haircoloring                                                   
 Dwayne Ross, ABCH
Sunday: 9:30 am, 2:00 pm
Monday: 11:00 am,  3:30 pm

Ever wonder what formulas and techniques a celebrity haircolorist uses? 
Dwayne Ross will share with you his personal formulas and techniques he uses on his celebrity clients such as Jessica Simpson, Jessica Alba, Ashlee Simpson, Rod Stewart, Lara Flynn Boyle, Kathy Ireland and Nancy O'Dell to name a few. 
He works on television shows, award shows (Oscars, Emmy Awards) and editorial photo shoots. "Haircoloring is an art that should be grounded in science," says Dwayne. 
His class will motivate and help you become more creative and successful as a haircolorist. Come and enjoy his class as he shares with you how he went from sleeping in his car to becoming one of Beverly Hills most successful haircolorists.
 DEPOSIT ONLY HAIRCOLOR COMPARISON UNDERWAY

The deposit only haircolor comparison is underway. We will put the deposit only haircolor through the same rigors as we did the permanent haircolors 5 years ago. The results will be on display at the Energizing Summit. Each haircolor will be deposited on three Yak hair swatches. (Yak  colors very much like gray hair.) Information about the colors will be compared, such as price, price per ounce, pH raw color, pH mixed color. After all the swatches are colored, one of the swatches will be shampooed 5 times and another left out in the sun for 10 days to determine which of the colors are most durable. The colors we have gathered thus far are as follows: Beth Minardi, Brocado, Clairol, Chromastics, Campagina De Colore, Framesi, Goldwell, I.luminate, Joico, Kenra, Keune, L'Oreal, Matrix, Paul Mitchell, Redken, Rusk, Sally, Scruples, Strands, TIGI, Wella CC, Wella CT, Zotos. Some of the manufacturers will have two colors in the mix
If you have a color you want to include in the comparison, send it to the ABCH office.

Self-confidence is all about believing in YOU. 

9 Keys to your success and happiness:

1. Define your goals and take small steps in making them a reality. Live up to your own expectations, not the expectations of others.
2. Eliminate negativity. Keep positive thoughts every day; avoid negative people. 
3. Don't expect perfection. Learn from your mistakes and move on. It is only failure when you give up.
4. Be Thankful. Count your blessings. Review all the positives in your life.
5. Have Fun! Smile often and be happy. Balance life between work and family.
6. Believe in yourself. Set high standards for yourself, and never accept mediocrity. You have the potential to accomplish anything..
7. Avoid Procrastination. Meet the challenges you face head on today and it will make you stronger tomorrow. 
8. Read. Strengthen your mind by reading books on self-improvement and self-management.
9. Education is vital. Confidence comes with knowledge. Develop your communication skills to improve your consultations. The internet is full of educational webinars, blogs, websites and newsletters like this one. 

Nothing is better that the excitement and passion 

of sharing knowledge with like-minded professionals.
