Busy Weekend!

This past weekend was entirely dedicated to hair education. Its always so inspiring to go to classes and learn new things, the hair world is forever changing.

Sunday I became certified in Hot Heads Hair Extensions. Through my experiences I have not been a fan of many extensions on the market today. I have found that fusion hair extensions are very damaging to the hair and not easy to care for. 
Hot Heads are 100% human hair that are applied to the hair using tape. There is no heat and no tools needed to apply. I am very exciting about using them in the salon and on myself!

Also attended this weekend.  Redken Artist, Exchange facilitator and Main Stage Presenter, Ellen Lawlor Creative Finishing Class. It was a hands on workshop where we learned lot of new tips and tricks for dressing hair.

Ellen Lawlor has worked around the world and has had many high end clients! It was awesome to sit back and listen to many of her methods and philosophies of the hair industry.

Most exciting part of the class, we spray painted hair using lace!!
Sorry for the terrible quality picture
