August 10-13, 2009 (RALEIGH, NC) – Samuel Cole Salon stylists and Network Educators, Ashley Collins and Erin Shebaugh, returned to Bumble & bumble University in New York City to attend Network Educator II Workshop.  According to Bumble, the Network Educator School “trains top talent in our Network salons to help inspire creativity, superlative customer service, and client education.  Hairdressers at the height of their careers can translate their dedication, passion, and expertise to their fellow stylists.”    After graduating as Network Educators from Network Educator I Workshop last August, Collins and Shebaugh have been extensively involved in all salon educational events at Samuel Cole Salon and its sister salon, Salon Moxie.  They also teach orientation and core education classes for all new stylists.  The intense four day Network Educator II curriculum enhanced their basic educator skill set to grow them to the next level of confident and intuitive educators. 

“Going to BbU is always a truly inspirational experience for me.  It is mind-blowing how much they can teach you in only 4 days.  I can’t wait to share the things I learned with our teams”, remarked Collins.

Samuel Cole Salon is owned by the husband and wife team and veteran stylists, Jack and Joelle Ray.  “We are thrilled that Erin and Ashley are continuing their NE training.  They are taking advantage of a phenomenal opportunity to train with the very best in the industry.  We could not be prouder of them.  In addition to their already rigorous schedules, they put in many extra hours preparing and teaching classes for our teams in which they utilize their skills gained from their education at Bumble’s NE courses”, said Jack who also serves in the role of Director of Education for the salons.

Samuel Cole Salon is one of Raleigh’s top salons.  It is an award-winning, full-service hair salon located on Newton Road in North Raleigh.  Its sister salon, Salon Moxie, is  also a full-service salon located on Fall of the Neuse Road in the North Ridge Shopping Center.
