Julie Barham and her husband Cory did a great job of putting this class together. This photo is some of the attendees and educators. Photographing stylists is like photographing cats. I will let you know when I hear of the next event this group sponsors. I just uploaded all the photos from this class in Charlotte to Picasa. Educators included Mags Kavanaugh from www.askmags.com fame and Russell Mays from www.hairmaven.com notoriety. Those who follow those sites were like old high school friends meeting at a reunion even though most had never met. We felt like voyeurs into these website families of dedicated hairstylists, but they generously let us in. I can't wait to start following these websites. I have never met such a dedicated group of stylists who are so intense on improving their craft. No one would like down on hair dressers if they sat in on a class like this. They are artists, chemists, merchandisers and business people wrapped up into one package. Jasper helped me with sharpening at the show. He's from Jacksonville, FL and was trained two days before the show. I kept him busy sharpening my "mystery shears" that go on my website and fixing up any nicked sample shears. He sharpened a few shears for free for a student. We came across the infamous Mitzutani Spring Hopper Shear owned by educator Natasha Cohen which I wrote about in a previous blog. I was also able to show him the "semi-convex" edge on an Eickert Shear. I have photos below.
