June 4-5 (RALEIGH) – Samuel Cole Salon stylist, Sara Beard, honed her ability to analyze, communicate and create all aspects of curly and textured hair at Bumble and bumble University’s Curl Workshop in New York City. The intense two day advanced course is designed to apply Bb U Design School’s scissor, razor, and styling techniques to analyzing different curl textures, talking about them, and creating suitable long and short shapes with precision and control (and adding your own professional signature). Beard engaged in daily hands-on sessions with multiple models. She learned how to conduct effective curl consultations and deliver on these by utilizing cutting and styling techniques specific to curly textures.
“As always, going to the House of Bumble is a life changing experience. The curl workshop was incredibly amazing and unique. So few classes in our industry focus solely on cutting and styling curly and textured hair (which is an art form itself). The techniques were very conceptual and I was taken aback at how simple the removal of weight in the hair when used in the right capacity can create such astounding results. I feel tremendously inspired and proficient. I can’t wait to take my “curly girls” in a more modern “get classy” direction”, said Beard who has naturally curly hair herself.
