I earned the Vidal Sassoon Advanced Academy diploma in Creative Color this week, inspiring me over the course of 5 full days with 7 live demonstrations, and hands-on execution of 7 complete color transformations on 7 models of my own. With a solid foundation in classic hair coloring and highlighting, I focused primarily on the precision placement of foil panels to dramatize a variety of haircuts and hair textures from every angle. This was my third diploma in color, with six Vidal Sassoon diplomas in total.

I received my 5th Vidal Sassoon Academy diploma last week after 5 very productive days of hands-on advanced learning. While expanding my range deeper into expressive creative cutting, I also gained a fresh perspective for shaping classic styles that are as distinctive and unique as they are timeless.

Working with both curly and straight hair, I learned new ways to create dimension and movement. I executed methods new to me for removing weight from overly thick hair, with the added benefit of making cuts last longer.

I incorporate the Vidal Sassoon philosophy to achieve the most optimum result with the least amount of work with regard to styling. The “wash and wear” precision technique sculpts the design into the hair, so that it looks great with minimum styling. This is a benefit my clients appreciate in the weeks that follow the salon visit.
