Get a haircut at a school - Why

This is a recent Ivan Zoot blog post at the Empire Beauty School chain site.  I have posted on both WHY you should patronize a student clinic at a school... and I have posted HOW you should go about it for maximum satisfaction for you and the student.  Here is a link to the WHY post. LINK HERE... next I will post a link to the HOW post.  This is not to be seen as an endorsement of the EMPIRE clinics... it is a general article on patronizing ANY student clinic, just so happens I had written the original post for them. It is worth sharing for all.

Use your hair chair

The Miley Cyrus haircut - a how-to video

Miley Cyrus' hair cut is no longer new... But plenty of clients are asking for it... and plenty of students need to know the how-to of how it was cut.  Ivan Zoot shares the simple steps to creating this web sensation style.  The undercut is the key.  The top is simple to cut.  The shape offers many stying options.  Short hair is fun and easy to wear and fun and easy to cut.  Inspiring students to be willing to make the big cut is what it is all about.  A celebrity like Miley, especially a younger celebrity in the age of long and messy Kardashian hair, is a great inspiration to student stylists.

Salon Disinfection, How and Why

Leslie Roste, director of education for Barbicide and I were presenters at the Ohio Cosmetology Educators 33rd annual educational event this past weekend.  She spoke about salon disinfection and I did my men's hair program.

I was able to corner Leslie at a break and get her in front of my camera for a few sound bites on salon disinfection.  Here are links to the two videos we shot.  This video is on WHY salon disinfection is important.  This video is about HOW to do it.  The videos do not cover the amazing depth of the content of her program, but they do give the top three pitch points in each category.  Sort of a Twitter post of how and why salon disinfection is important.

Thank you Leslie for a thorough, informative and important presentation.

Thank you Ohio for inviting Marianna to present and share the programs.
