International "Styles Unimited"
Summer is here and you may be thinking of getting a new haircut. But not just any haircut. If you desire something trendy, where can you go to get the latest and greatest ideas for stylish hair? One answer is in the expertise.
Several Pennsylvania stylists from the Styles Unlimited salon absorbed lots of new styling techniques and acquired new product knowledge during their recent trip to the International Beauty Show, held June 9-11, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“We watched (one of my personal favorite stylists), Martin Parsons, as he completed four model’s hair for the runway. Martin cleverly folds the hair into his special long-hair updos; creating styles suitable for weddings or proms; from the sleek and sophisticated look, to a younger, more tousled, curly style,” said Tonia Yaegle, owner and operator of Styles Unlimited.
“For the haircuts, I especially enjoyed the combinations of razor and scissoring methods, demonstrated by Michael O’Rourkesaid Sarahmarie Wynder, another stylist. “He is a world-famous educator, and one of my favorites. Although I’ve seen him before I was glad to see that the structure in motion hair cutting techniques are still functioning so well in the industry, and I enjoyed seeing him demonstrate his cutting techniques on the live models. It was fascinating to watch him at work.”
In addition to live model demonstrations on the Main Stage and runway, cosmetologists were treated to a myriad of vendors offering their specific wares.
“It was good to see the industry focusing more on makeup and skin care products, and not just the hair. Overall, they are also a big part of the whole beauty industry,” Wynder said.
While not all of these specialty style products, (or over-the-top extreme cuts and colors) will go over in a small salon atmosphere, having access to the newest products, from shampoos, conditioners, colors, and the latest tools to use them was worth the trip.
“At the International Show, my stylists learned some clever tips from the best-of-the-best in the Cosmetology world. A group attendance gave us all the opportunity to compare notes, discuss problem areas and find better solutions. Having this larger network available brings a level of confidence and personal growth. I want to take my business in the right direction, to serve our customer base in a meaningful way,” Yaegle said. “And the learning, in an exciting atmosphere like the huge Convention Center in Las Vegas, was really fun!”
