As we begin to head back to work, there will be an entirely new set of problems that you'll need to find solutions for. “As a stylist, the only way to endure this unpredictable time is to embrace the reality that things are really different and then learn new ways of doing things so you can adapt and survive,” explains Sam Villa, Co-Founder of Sam Villa and Global Artistic Ambassador for Redken. In an effort to help stylists and salons thrive, Sam and his ArTeam, Andrew Carruthers, Anna Peters and Jesse Linares, along with special guests, Fumi Eguchi, Creative Director at Lunatic Fringe Salons and Hugo Urias, Director of Redken Creates Design and Finishing, are spending two days sharing tips for Hair @ the Chair Today on Sunday 9/20 and Monday 9/21 on Facebook and YouTube.
“We’re focusing on finding different ways to maximize results with minimum effort so stylists can book more appoints in a day,” adds Villa. “Stay positive, there’s a solution to most problems.”
