Empire State of Hair

A group of seven stylists from Innovations Salon traveled to New York City to participate in Redken's 5th Avenue Exchange training courses. This intense training is taught by the expert Redken educations who travel the globe instructing stylists on the best techniques in color and style.

Dan, Nicole, Betsy, Vicki, Steve, Lisa and Jackie participated in the four-day, 9 to 5 trainings. The hands-on experience and lectures given by industry leaders provided basic refreshers as well as advanced techniques providing inspiration for clients back home in Naperville.

Some techniques covered included color placement to enhance face shape, new highlighting patterns, how to achieve more consistent color and shaping to create flattering looks. "These courses inspire us to try new looks and give us ideas on what to suggest to our clients," said Dan Rubino.

It wasn't all work for the group of seven, they took time to view the popular attractions that the Empire State has to offer...be sure to ask Dan about the deli!
