A hair show experiance

This weekend I attended the Insalon show at the River Center in St, Paul. Hair shows are one of the most inspiring form of education I believe in our industry. Its education overload for sure! You have product line classes, Hair cutting coloring, runway shows and vendors up the wazoo! It can be very overwhelming if you don't make you plan of attack ahead of time because its very easy to get distracted and miss out a great stuff. This show I attended on my own and honestly it was great, I saw way more presentation then normal and really focused on what I wanted to learn. I started both my mornings with a structured business class, being a stylist we usually never get to see the other side, which is numbers!! Tracking you business is so important and setting goals. These shows really give you a little kick in the ass and give you great ideas to take back to the salon. I just love attending big events like this, being inspired is the most incredible feeling

A day in Stillwater

This October has been one of the weirdest weather months! We have had 80 degree weather when its usually starting to cool down for fall. But I'm not complaining I have loved it! So we took advantage of it and strolled the streets in stillwater and along the river with some good friends! We sat along the river (snuck a bottle of wine) and had bread and cheese. It was so perfect out, I even had a little sunburn.

Bangstyle

I just found this new website called bangstyle! Its a hair website but also a social network. You can create a profile that has you own work, thoughts and ideas. You can see other peoples work and comment on it and share work. Its a great way to be connected with some of the biggest names in the hair industry and see their work and what there up too. This is the kind of stuff that really gets me pumped and makes me think a new creative ideas. There is just so many different areas in this industry and it always changing so its hard to stay on top of it. Also they include daily news, sometimes us hair stylist are a little behind in that area..... Check it out theres really something for everyone! And maybe you might find something inspiring for your next appointment!
