Our commitment to ongoing advanced education empowers our artistic team while providing a career path that allows each team member to continue growing in the industry. We believe that each individual’s success strengthens the entire company and we applaud the accomplishments of our incredible team.
We are proud to say that we have 2 Redken Certified Haircolorists, 4 Redken Specialists, 2 Redken Master Specialists and a Redken Artist on our team. Not just because it gives us credibility as a team (it does!), and not just because it’s cool to say (it is!) It’s what the titles represent that makes us proud of each one. Accomplishment, commitment, determination, mistakes, learning. It’s not the title, but the journey in achieving it that is the greatest reward.
                
On-going In Salon Education (2010)
Advanced Finishing/Styling: National Artist Danny Felsted of Redken 5th Avenue NYC spent the day with us doing a hands on workshop to advance our finishing skills. Using our everyday tools in a new way to create modern texture and volume in the hair was fun and inspiring. You can see many of the techniques we learned by checking out our photo shoot pics in the gallery!
Advanced Design: International Artist for Redken 5th Avenue Ellen Lawlor took us back to the days of Vidal Sassoon. This class was a lesson in hair history! Our team spent the day exploring those classic looks that are still being interpreted today’s modern shapes. As the saying goes “You can’t know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve been!” This class really empowered our team with the knowledge of a strong foundation in our industry.
Advanced Color: National Artist Leah Freeman of Redken 5th Avenue NYC is always a favorite here at laus Deo! Call us hair geeks – we don’t care….Our team loves to sit around and talk about haircolor! Our team had an inspiring day talking about new color trends, techniques, what’s in, what’s out and what’s next! Reds and bold vibrant blondes, rich deep brunettes – color right now has an “artificial” finish that’s really exciting to us hair geeks!
Industry Classes Attended (2010)
Katie Cameron spent 2 days at The Redken Exchange in NYC working with National Artists in the “Diagnostic Design” class to expand her design skills to a new level and bring back new ideas and a refreshing look at her guests’ designs.
Rachel and Lindsey spent 3 days at The Redken Exchange in NYC with National Artists in “Everything’s Included 2”. They learned new color and design techniques and shapes that they were able to bring back to the salon and share with their guests.
Redken Symposium 2011
Wow! Redken outdid themselves again! There is no better way to begin the year than with the amazing education and inspiration experienced at the 2011 Redken Symposium at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. In attendance were Gina, Louie, Kaitlin, Lindsey, Rachel and Marie. We are all excited to bring back to the salon and to our guests the new techniques and trends and service opportunities for a great new year!
Ongoing In-Salon Education (2009)
Advanced Design: National Redken Artist Jill Leitz shared creative ideas and techniques to kick off this year’s education. Our team spent the day creating new interpretations of classic shapes with undercutting, disconnection and exploring modern movement in design.
Creative Color: National Redken Artist Leah Freeman shared the Haircolor Forecast for Spring and Fall of ’09. Our Team explored techniques that are quick and make a strong impact in the end design as well as new color formulation for the changing seasons. Check out just a few buzz words for color this season and coming into Fall! Glamour, Polished, Butterscotch, Strawberry, Gold – Now is the time to start talking to your artist about your Fall Color Design!
Trend Interpretation: National Redken Artist Jayson Morgan shared new trends for Fall of ’09. With a strong focus on the fringe area we explored different types of graduation and over direction to create new and fresh shapes. Revisiting the truly classic bob shape and giving it a new twist including disconnection and asymmetry was great fun! The looks we created are definitely wearable for our everyday guest and we came away inspired and ready for Fall!
Color Immersion: National Redken Artist Ty Isobe spent the day with us creating completely different color patterns. Each member of our team created their own color design based on personal inspiration and interpretation of trends. The excitement of sharing our ideas and building on each other’s inspiration gave all of us a shot of energy! Color is such a beautiful way to change any look and it’s interesting to see how we all changed the design a bit differently by simply changing the color pattern.
Ongoing In-Salon Education (2008)Principle Based Design: After
this class, our entire team was able to move forward and communicate
with a common language reinforcing the basic principles of shape and
movement within design.
Advanced Color & Design: Creating a complete look for our
guests with color and design inspires us to create a personal
expression for each guest when developing their look. Our guests love
this personal approach
Advanced Design Men and Women: Interpretation of trends is
key to creating fashion forward yet wearable looks for our guests every
day. Utilizing the principles learned earlier to create new and
innovative shapes is a powerful reinforcement.
Advanced Color: Every colorist receives inspiration in a very
personal way. As an artist staying inspired is important and we strive
to create beautiful runway haircolor that is unique to the individual
everyday in the salon.
Industry Trade Shows Attended
The Redken Exchange: Kaitlin and Leah spent 4 days at the Redken Exchange in New York. Immersed in Advanced Design for the entire time they were there and working with top artists from across the country they were able to really solidify their cutting techniques and gain great inspiration from the big apple!
Gina, Melissa and Louie spent 3 days at the “Coloring out of Your Mind” and “Cutting Over the Top” classes at the Redken Exchange in New York. Completely focusing on color and cutting for 3 intense days they really pushed the limits of creativity.
