As a seasoned licensed cosmetology instructor and also a dedicated salon owner, I have observed a concerning lack of quality and a genuine understanding of the essential elements involved in hair cutting and hair coloring. It is crucial to grasp not only the technical skills but also the underlying reasons—such as the 'Why,' 'When,' 'How,' and the 'What If' scenarios—when it comes to executing hair artistry effectively. It appears that many individuals are merely repeating the same diluted steps showcased on social media platforms, resulting in a homogeneous approach that lacks depth.Furthermore, many schools unfortunately do not equip their students with the comprehensive knowledge necessary to truly understand the intricacies of hair maintenance and design. This gap often leads stylists to seek knowledge through online learning. Sadly, the majority of online courses fall short in addressing the 'How' and 'Why,' leaving stylists unable to fully explore the possibilities and develop critical thinking in their craft. I felt a strong motivation to step in and help bridge this educational divide.With nearly 28 years of experience teaching for esteemed manufacturers such as Aveda, Paul Mitchell, Arrojo, Chromastics, Ergo, and Karg, I reached a significant point in my career where I wanted to give back to the community. By offering high-quality education, I aim to facilitate the growth and development of fellow stylists. The techniques I teach have been rigorously tested and proven to yield exceptional results, as they have been effectively employed in my salon for over 26 years.Stephen Adams is a highly respected hair educator, business strategist, and creative leader with over 30 years of experience in the beauty and cosmetology industry.
