The Art of Color and Movement    

        Misael Aponte

 makes this class very special and Misael's unique approach to advanced color placement makes dimensional haircolor more understandable.
Using color to accentuate or defuse features of the face requires the eyes of an Artist, and he can teach you this! You will leave this class excited to go back to the salon to use his methods for coloring hair. Don't miss Misael's class!

Mourning the loss of a Summit educator...

GARY GERARD PASSES

After a courageous battle with cancer, Gary passed away on June 1st. Beauty shows won't be the same without the presence of Gary. 

If there was a beauty show anywhere within reach, he would be there. He loved the beauty business and enjoyed being with his peers.  He was the first to arrive and had a way of getting the space he wanted. It was an amazing watching him setting up his booth and classroom and cajoling with the person in charge of the show. His audience loved to watch him cut hair and enjoyed his corny jokes. His classes were both educational and entertaining. Everyone, particularly his audience who he enlightened with his haircutting skills, will miss him. He was never happier than when he had standing room only in his class, which was most often.    

Rest in peace my friend.  

DEPOSIT ONLY COMPARISON COMPLETED

After toiling for what appeared to be hundreds of hours, the deposit only haircolor comparison is completed. The comparison is a display of 35 different haircolors and the effects shampooing and the sun has on the hair.

Each Summit attendee will receive a synopsis of the results of the comparison. The actual swatches will be on display at the Summit. The four printed pages of the comparison have all of the information learned in making the swatches. We even included Second Nature, the Clairol color that was discontinued, as it would help the users of that color to find a similar color. Some of the brands suggested using a lower volume peroxide to make their colors deposit only. There are a few surprises you will find when you check out the statistics.

We will include an article with details of our results in a July newsletter after the Summit.

TRENDS

According to the Beauty Industry Report, there are some important salon tends taking place. 

• No appointment needed salons, where you drop in and you get a single service at a reduced price and leave. We know about blow dry bars, but now there are extension bars and haircolor bars, as well as co-washing bars. 
• Co-washing is a trend where you wash the hair with a conditioner instead of shampoo.  Although it only netted 1% of total conditioner sales, the trend is growing. 
• Another strong trend is "granny trend" coloring the hair with silvers and grays haircolor sales with in the silvers and grays were up 46% and 14%. Think about it-- in one year we are covering the gray and the next year we are making people gray.
• There is bad news for the oils whose sales are dropping 6% in chains and 5% for independents; some say the segment, which was pioneered by Moroccan oil, has reached maturity. 

Trends come and go but roots go on forever. There are enough roots out there to keep us all busy.  None of Andre's clients are requesting silver and gray; they're already there.
