August 3-5, 2009 (RALEIGH, NC) – Color experts from Samuel Cole Salon attended an intense four day workshop entitled “Don’t Sweat It, Fix It” at the Redken Exchange in New York City.  Master Stylist and salon owner, Jack Ray, along with his top color team of Erica Lockhart, Yvette Cannas, Sara Beard, and Carolyn Nord learned the latest advanced color correction techniques from the best in the industry.  The course is designed to place a narrower scope on the big issue of color correction by focusing on pretreatments, filling the hair, color product choices, and foiling techniques for creative correction. 

“The class centered around the concept that there are basically four ways that color goes wrong.  It’s either too light, too dark, too warm, or too cool.  Focusing on these four color issues will enabled me to always remain confident and in control when a color mishap walks through the door” remarked Beard.

“Learning from the creators of Redken color in such an intimate setting was not only one of my career highlights, but also an honor.  Hands-on practical and technical application of theory and skills is the cornerstone of all great hairdressers.  While at Redken, I grasped concepts and stepped way out of my box to achieve results that I never thought were possible.  I am so eager to share my new knowledge with my team and clients”, commented Nord.
