Bumble & bumble University

July 20-22, 2009 (RALEIGH, NC) – The award-winning Samuel Cole Salon recently sent two stylists from their team to Bumble & bumble University located in New York City’s historic meat packing district.  Nichole LuMaye and Ellen Geenty enhanced their skill set by studying with master hairdressers at Bumble in a rigorous 3 day course entitled Design Workshop.  LuMaye and Geenty honed their skills, found inspiration and discovered different and unique ways to focus their ideas, expand their repertoire, and learn to view hairdressing in new contexts.  Design Workshop offers advanced training in cutting and styling techniques for experienced stylists.

“Bumble was an ultra enlightening experience.  I learned to approach hair in a completely new way.  I am very inspired and can’t wait to use all of this new knowledge to create current looks for my clients that are catered specifically to their hair”, commented Geenty.

Samuel Cole Salon is one of Raleigh’s top salons and is owned by the husband and wife team and veteran stylists, Jack and Joelle Ray.  Continuing advanced education and  constant inspiration are the Ray’s keys to success in this industry.  “We only hire stylists who are passionate about the craft of hairdressing and whose continuing education goals align with ours.  Our exclusive salon status with Bumble and bumble allows us to offer on-going opportunities for advanced education and inspiration to our team at this industry icon”, explained Joelle.
