Samuel Cole Salon Stylists and Network Educators
            Ashley Collins and Erin Shebaugh

March 15-17, 2010 (New York City) – Samuel Cole Salon’s Network Educators, Ashley Collins and Erin Shebaugh attended Styling II at Bumble and bumble University (Bb.U) in NYC. This intense 3 day advanced styling course is designed to increase technical skills, product knowledge & client education, and further develop the eye.  They were challenged to understand the fundamentals of a perfect blow dry and to learn techniques needed to create three popular updos:  Ponytail, Chignon, and Double French Twist.  Through daily hands-on sessions with multiple models and detailed feedback, they enhanced their technical styling skills and gained creative inspiration from some of the most talented educators that this exciting industry has to offer.

“Taking Styling II at Bb.U has pushed my updos and formal styling to the next level. I was challenged to pay much closer attention to detail, in turn allowing me to create more beautiful, polished styles. Truly inspiring....as always,” said Collins.

“The Styling II class at Bb.U was a great learning experience and an exciting new challenge.  It has made me look at updo's and upstyling in a completely different way. It has created a stronger fountation for me as a well-rounded stylist.  The moment I leave, I am itching to go back for more,” commented Shebaugh.
