Samuel Cole Salon stylists Carolyn Nord & Kelli Compton

January 25-26, 2010 (RALEIGH, NC) – The award-winning Samuel Cole Salon recently sent two stylists from their very talented team to Bumble & bumble University located in New York City’s historic meat packing district.  Kelli Compton & Carolyn Nord enhanced their skill set by studying with master hairdressers at Bumble in a rigorous 2 day course entitle Design Workshop.  These stylists engaged in comprehensive theory and hands-on training covering both razor and scissor techniques as well as consultation skills and product knowledge.  They discovered new ways to hone their skills and expand their repertoire.

“Going to Bb.U was one of the highlights of my career to date.  The inspiration that came from attending this advanced education course is something that I am excited about bringing back to my clients,” said Compton.

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 inspiration are the Ray’s “Professional Edge” in this industry.  “We only hire stylists who are passionate about the craft of hairdressing and whose continuing education goals align with ours,” explains Joelle.
