Oribe Hair Care on the Road.

Posted on by ingridhairinspiration

What? Two tickets for Nikki (a owner) and me? We are invited to Milk Studios to experience a brand. I believe they have a beautiful job over at Oribe making a super high end, sexy, classy product line that emanates fire and fabulousness. It screams “the best”!

The Canyon was is discussion many years about carrying this line, when were moving to our new location Instead we decided to carry another brand from Italy. To be honest the name slipped my memory. It was cute, and every body bought it. New Salon, New Product. They go together. Unfortunately for all that product we moved there were no points. No treats. No gifts.

So we yanked it.

Unite has come and gone, and is  now back.  Making a huge resurgence in our salon. Theyr’e just at the perfect position at the perfect time. all aligning beautifully. we have full representation of Unite. I have to say Kevin Striwerdtka is our man. He is always there for us, and I do appreciate support. All the Unite Peeps are a class act.

We currently carry Kevin Murphy, Alterna Caviar and bamboo, UNITE. ELC, Bumble went away recently. That was a slight heartbreaker. We go way back.

But I’m talking Oribe. We’ll see what goes on Dec 8 at The Milk Studios. Are they going to impress? I’m sure they’ll deliver a stunning show, and I count down the days to be moved.

I love learning!

What a great kick off to my week to meet and learn from world famous educators in my field of hair. The highlight of my day was learning aside my colleagues Kristy Jarvis and Doriley Juarez. We had so much fun  rotating four different classes that were each equally entertaining and mind blowing. If I had to pick my favorite class of the day it would be hard, but If I HAD to choose, it would be my reintroduction to Hothead hair extensions. I work with so many clients who would enjoy a bit more hair here and there, or they want layers but aren’t willing to cut their hair. I now have the answer. I can now share the my inspiration and pay it forward. There are so many ways to add fringe, highlights, volume…the list goes on. There are so many options. It’s endless. I am counting the minutes to get back to work and call all my clients who I know will be over the moon with my new found knowledge.

Moving forward, I got to see my friend Anthony Edge who is one of my favorite educators in the world. He reminds me of a hair fairy beaming with incredible talent and the tremendous ability to teach.  It would be a dream to spend the day hanging out with Anthony.

Of course, Kevin Murphy’s class is always on point. Our teacher today was  Marianne Jensen. Hairstylist Extraordinaire. No joke. She did many models today. Two were my favorite hairstyles I have ever seen IN MY LIFE! She is a master. MASTER. I am trying with all my might to squeeze in to her hands on class tomorrow.

The last class of the day I met a wonderful, humble and talented man who’s specialty is barbering. His name is Trent. He is a highly sought after educator with Prive. I was so moved by his class and teaching that I drove straight to salon centric and bought new clippers and all the new attachments. I am off to the races. If I have any open spaces this week in my schedule I am going to pull models off the street and cut all their hair of into sick fades.

I dont know how I am going to sleep tonight. My mind is spinning in all directions of  everything I learned today and how it will be a solid part of my reality in my life of INGRIDHAIRINSPIRATION. I love to professional growth, e xpansion and I look forward to teaching everything I learned today to the Canyon Salon Team!

Getting geared up for a week full of learning, transforming, and celebrating. Tomorrow quite a few of the stylists from The Canyon Salon are going to Salon 901 in West Hollywood  to take a class specializing in blonding techniques. I am impressed with 901. The hair talent, their incredible business talent, and the fact that they are going to share their knowledge with other hairdressers. I am excited to experience not only a field trip to West Hollywood with a group of talented stylists from my salon, but a new approach to things I do everyday.

Midweek I have a coaching session with my business and communications mentor.

Late week we have Launa Stone coming to introduce herslef from Calabasas Med Spa and treating our team to some goodies, and a celebration Friday to thank our clients for being so lovely.

Have a great week. Sunday is the day I suggest my clients do their hair masque. Hope that’s what everyone is doing tonight. I am on my way to the shower right now to use the new Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me Masque! I also use it to shave because the smell makes me so happy.
