Houston IMAGE Expo

This year the first year I have ever been to IMAGE. The show is in Houston Texas and held in the convention center. The show is semi new, meaning that there has not yet been a show of this style in this location. The venue is big, but not as big as PREMIERE orlando. Premiere is one of the largest shows of the year. The Houston airport is surprisingly very cool. the layout is nice and the people were respectful.
Because i have never been to Houston before i convinced Brice (Assistant at TEAL salon) who lived in Houston for a long time to show the Team and I the Town. This particular weekend the team consisted of Myself (TUESDAYYYY!), Jamie, Brice, Mom and Dad (Deannalyn and Ryan), as well as a few friends from Lanza. Brice took us shopping in Montrose. There were tons of cool vintage clothing stores and fantastic food. Brice was a great tour guide showing us where his first apartment and favorite bars were. Mexican food was the hight of the night. We all had a great time just bonding as a team.
The hair industry is very much a community. I think that hair shows for a lot of people are like family reunions! I love hair and so does everyone else there. The best part is that there are hours of education just waiting at your finger tips. This time my mom and dad were on the main stage three times, as well at Two different classes.
We had a model call at the convention center were we got some really great models to commit to the weekend. Model calls are actually a bit stressful because you have to be sure they will show up as well as make sure they are willing to change their hair. It is so much worse when you are doing mostly hair cuts because it is hard to talk models into cutting their hair. Sometimes at hair shows if the model call does not go well you have to go to places like the mall or shopping center to try and find some people to use. This time we got lucky though an all the girls were great.
The shows went really smooth and judging by our large crowd turnout the people liked us! We all had so much fun prepping hair and getting in wardrobe that when it had to come to an end on Monday night we were all bummed it was over. Overall to me Houston was full of crazy adventures, Painting wigs, mexican food, and sweet models.


Go to this next year theres a ton to learn!

NAHA weekend!

T.TEAL NAHA 2012

This weekend was the North American Hair Awards people from all around submit photos and compete in different catagories. This year the event was in Las Vegas... Good place to put Hundreds of out of control hair school students, and hairdressers? Sure? The weekend started off nice and slow for me, on the plane i got to me Nick Hemsley and his super fashionable salon team. We talked all about NAHA and how excited we all were. Nick a bit more because he was nominated for newcomer of the year... Later in to become the newcomer peoples choice winner! This year we stayed at the Luxor, which I had never before realized but is a VERY creepy place. Me along with my Hair Nerd friends got all dolled up headed the Beacon room.
Beacon is another photo competition that is specifically for Students! The winners get a free ticket to NAHA as well as many wonderful classes during the weekend just for them. The speakers at BEACON are fantastic so the team and i decided to get a tiny listen in. After our BEACON advernute we all had to get ready again (girls) for the NAHA coctail party.
 The cocktail party was so fun all the people were great and the food was tasty. I got meet a bunch of cool people from the hair world. Seeing all the excited nominees made me even more jazzed to go to NAHA. Most of the party was spent giggling with Steve Elias. Steve's Birthday was that weekend so in honor of that we all decided to got to Fremont street for dinner.
It was my first time on Fremont so i had no idea what to expect i was totally over whelmed with the cool lights and music. We did see some very crazy stuff though lots of Naked people dancing, Zoro, and at the restaurant a crazy couple of three. There was a Limo waiting outside for us!... nope but there was one a few blocks that was cheeper than the cab for all of us to take to we headed back to the Hotel in style!
The next day I got an early start trying to get a few good pictures of hairdressers in the early hours of the morning, I got into the press room and stared the editing process. After a while of people rapidly printing things out and passing around business cards i decided it was time for brunch. Brunch was with the Hair Nerds, and all of Tantalum magizine. The restaurant acted a little bit like they had never seem a large group before so we got a bit spread out, which was a bummer, but the food was hot so everything was okay. The schedule got very busy after eating I had to run to the BEACON room, then back to the press room, over to the show, and try to find the VIP room for that night.
After running around it was time to get ready (AGAIN)! My dress was good, hair was ready, and shoes were on. As Me, Jamie, Erin, Carrie, Amanda, and the Hair Husbands all walked up i swear we for a brief moment were in a James bond movie. It almost brought a tear to my eye getting to see all my friend from school and teachers there to support our school.
As i walked around before the show i was taking pictures and showing off my press pass to EVERYONE that walked by. You could say that i was WAY STOKED about an all access press pass were all of my big time HAIR HEROS would be!
The show was so well put together the stage was beautiful and all the contestants worked very hard. I was so proud at the end of the show because i was reminded once again just how HUGE and FANTASTIC our hair world is.

History of Hairdressing Webinar!

On Monday my dad did something pretty awesome. He hosted his first Webinar. A Webinar is like an online seminar, you can post a link to it and anyone can join and watch. He taught his History of Hairdressing class, it was epic. All of his friends logged on to attend the class. So many people were asking questions as he taught. It was a great turn out and the cool thing about teaching a Webinar is that you know the people who are attending are there to learn what you have to teach. Hosting a Webinar is a great way share education with people all over the country.
For more information about up-coming Webinars here is a link to the PBA website:

The Thirty Second Rule!!!

The first 30 seconds you spend with a person can be the most important. Within those 30 seconds you can decide what you think about them and even if you want to continue to spend time with them. That’s a very short period of time to make a great 1^st impression.

            I recently was told to read a book called 25 Ways to Win with People by John C. Maxwell. It’s a great book that helps you with interpersonal relationships in just 25 steps. The book was incredible and filled with so much detail. I enjoyed every page and couldn’t wait to put all the new things I’d learned into action. The one thing that stood out the most was the Thirty Second Rule. I was aware that you were judged but I had no idea how to make myself seem interesting and make people want to get to know me. The Thirty Second Rule helps you to make a great 1^st impression, making the person feel important.       

            It’s a very simple idea. You just need to follow 2 simple steps. The 1^st step is to say the persons name at least once in the thirty seconds. It lets them know that not only  do you know but you are listening to them. The second step is to say something encouraging while you are talking to them. People feel better when you give them the following, Attention, Affirmation, and Appreciation.

            It’s that easy to make a great 1^st impression. These are tips that you can use in every situation, weather you are at a social gathering or meeting a new client for the 1^st time. Making people feel like you care is the best way to make new friends or keep your clients for a very long time. If you follow the 30-second rule, everyone will want to be around you.

Here is a link to buy the book. I recommend that everyone get a copy and read it!

Its a good one!

Our hero Vidal Sassoon

"Longevity is a fleeting moment that lasts forever." - Vidal Sassoon

As I'm sure all of you know our industry recently lost a great man. Vidal Sassoon will remain a hairdressing legend! Vidal decided from a young age that if he must be a hair dresser he would have to be the best hairdresser, and he did just that. Vidal is and always will be a house hold name. You can't even talk about the history of hairdressing without mentioning his name.

Vidal was the genius behind the classic wedge bob. He is decried as the man who changed the world with a pair of scissors. Vidal trained under the great Raymond Bessone, in his salon in Mayfair. Vidal credits Bessone for teaching him how to cut hair saying he couldn't have achieved what he did without Bessone. Sassoon opened his first salon in 1954 in London. Sassoon's client list included some of the most famous starts of the day- including Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, Terence Stamp and Mia Farrow for her look in Rosemary's Baby. In 1963 he created the classic bob for fashion designer Mary Quant, who was doing for clothes what Sassoon was doing for hairstyles. 

In 1964 Vidal was ready to think bigger: he went international and opened his first salon in New York City. Within five years he had salons in Toronto and in Beverly Hill and he had his first hairdressing school in London. Even though he had many successful salons in the Untied States he never actually acquired his hairdressing license in the states. 

I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting Vidal in 2007 at the North American Hair Dresser Awards. I was with my parents, my uncle Aaron. I was introduced to him. I shook his hand but was to nervous to tell him my name. Even at a young age I was aware of who I was meeting and what he had done for our industry. It was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had. He was poised and polite. I never thought a man of his status could be so gracious and kind. I will forever cherish that moment at NAHA! 

The TEALS @ Taylor Andrews

Last month my parents, Ryan and DeAnnalyn TEAL came to teach a class at my school. Instead of doing a hands on class they opted for something different. Most beauty school student's don't know very much about the history of hair dressing. I talked my dad into teaching his history class to Taylor Andrews. He wasn't sure if it was the best way to go with the class but I knew it was. He now had the very difficult task of condensing  a 2 day class into 90 minutes, while keeping the attention of 100 beauty school students. I asked many of the students if they would enjoy a history class. They all agreed that it was much needed and they really liked the idea of my dad teaching them one. I was excited to see the class and see the reaction of my classmates. 

My dad had to teach the class twice. Once for the night school students, then again the next day for the day school students. It was going to change their lives to learn the history of hairdressing. It's very important that people know where they come from and if they students didn't know where hairdressing came from they wouldn't be able to respect the industry like people who knew about it. 

The 1st class was a night. I didn't know all the student because I'd only attended night school a few times. My dad got all set up then asked me to introduce them to the students. I got up on stage and told the students a little about my parents then turned the stage over my dad. My mom sat in the audience taking notes to make the class better. 

The nigh school students were great. The class started off with my dad asking a series of questions. It was is way of letting the class know what they didn't know. It was shocking to see that so many of the students I went to school with didn't know who some of the greatest hair heros were. They sat though the class and took notes. They all really seemed to enjoy it. They came up after the class to tell my dad how much they learned from the class and how they wanted him to come back and teach the rest of the history class to them. It was a great feeling knowing that the class was getting great responses from everyone. 

The day school class was a lot bigger than the night school. It was the West Jordan school and the Orem school all cramped into the same small room. I think because the class size was so big it was easy for people to get off track or get distracted by the person sitting in front of them texting. Students don't quite understand that even though you are putting your phone under the table we can still see it. You aren't hiding anything. I could tell who was actually enjoying the class and wanted to be there to learn and who was just there because they had to be. The girl sitting in the back row listening to Linkin Park while my dad was teaching was one of those people who was only there because she had to be. My dad did call her out in front of the entire class in a very polite manner but personally I think if you don't want to be in the class don't come. 

Over all I think the class was a huge success. Students took away from it what they wanted. If they went in to lear about hairdressing then they came out filled with so much information. If they didn't care, then they didn't learn anything. If you want to be successful in the industry then you must learn the fact and history about it. You can't just pretend like it's not your fault that you didn't know. You have to get out there and learn, because you don't know what you know. 

                                                         My dad teaching!

Make-up Class photo shoot!!!

I finished the make-up class at my school with a photo shoot. It was like taking a final. I had no idea what to expect. They didn't give us a theme for the shoot. It was slightly stressful for me because I wasn't sure if they were looking for a certain look. We were required to find a model, pick out wardrobe, do their make-up and hair. Our teachers were just going to supervise us.

Getting organized for a photo shoot can be very stressful, especially if you've never done one before. I recommend making check lists. You can never had too many lists. They are a great way to stay organized, keep track of what you need to bring, and a great way of making sure you have everything you need to prep your model. I showed up to the school with a few wardrobe options because I wasn't sure what would look good with her make-up, I had all the tools I need to style her hair, my make-up kit, an assistant, food and water for both myself and the model, my ipod and speakers, money, just incase there was any last minute items that I'd forgotten to bring. 

My model was a good friend of mine, Katie Maloney. She was perfect for the look I was going for, a modern pin-up girl. I had her arrive with a clean face and her hair un-styled. I also had Katie bring some clothes for the shoot, having may options for wardrobe is a great idea because you may pick out the "perfect" outfit, but it could look horrible on camera. 

I started with her hair, it's very important to know what order you are going to do things in because you need to utilize your time wisely. We only had 2 hours to get ready. That may seem like a lot but I didn't really have any help. My assistant was there to hand me things and to go pick up items that I may have forgot. I did all the work on my own. I had an advantage over the other girls. Most of them didn't attend Taylor Andrews, so they had to find other students to do their models hair, which made it harder for them to finish in time. I think the most important thing you can do for a photo shoot is mapping out your time. 

When doing a photo shoot you can alway expect to run into some unexpected problems, no matter how well you plan. The make-up kit we were given only had 4 shades of foundation, all of them were too dark for my model. This is when having an assistant comes in handy. I was able to send her to look for foundation that was closer to Katie's skin tone, while I finished working on her hair. I was able to finish her completed look in about an hour and half. The shoot was first come first serve. Once you were done they took you to the set. 

The school used a wonderful photographer name Mitch Meyer. He made both myself and Katie feel very comfortable on set. Katie had never modeled before so he helped her out making sure that we got the perfect shot of my work. I really respect him as a photographer for doing that. It's hard to be on set sometimes but when the photographer makes you feel comfortable everything becomes so much easier. 

The photos he took turned out great. Below is the photo that I got back. The photo on the top is the one that he edited. I wanted to play around with the photo, the one on the bottom is the one I edited:

I really enjoyed the class, if you ever have the opportunity to take a make-up class do it!! You never know when you will be on a photo shoot and they need a make-up artist. 

Here are a few more photos from the class:

Taylor Andrews Hair Show 2012

Last week was the 10th anniversary of the Taylor Andrews Next-Dimension Hair and Fashion Show. This was a show to showcase the work of the TA students. For most of the students this was their first time making a wig. I was impressed with the work that the students produced this year. There were 17 groups this year and the theme was Broadway Musicals. Each group was assigned the task of producing their own segment, which meant; choosing a editing music, making props for the stage, finding models, and making a wig. Each student was given a budget of about $20. Anything else they needed either had to be donated or bought with their own money. 

I was part of Phantom of the Opera. I had only two tasks the day of the show. I had to take as many photos as possible of the groups working backstage. My second task was to do make-up for one of the models in my group. I arrived at the school around 9 am to start shooting. I walked around the school taking photos and video of the students and staff working. The students knew exactly what they needed to work on before the 1st run through at the Expo Center. 

At the Expo center groups were working very hard to prefect their wigs as well as their choreography. It was their 1st time on the actual stage so they had to figure out what worked and what didn't. They were all very professional, working together to make the show perfect. Each group was given 15 minutes on stage, if something didn't work it was up to the group to formulate a new idea and practice it until it was perfect. All the groups were under a lot of pressure to make everything look awesome.

I sat in the front row with my teachers watching as the students conducted their models. I took as many photos as my SD card would allow. (I learned that you should always have more than one SD card on hand when you are taking photos and video.) I had to run home during lunch to clean the card of and re-charge my camera, because I wasn't allowed to plug anything in. This did work out okay because it gave me time to get food and prep for doing the models make-up. 

I met back at the expo center to continue shooting. The entire school and their models/dancers where in the prep room preparing for the show. In the room next to the students NAHA winner Jake Thompson and NAHA nominee Chad Seale where prepping their models for their segment in the show. They were going to be closing the show that night. 

I made a video of all the work going on back stage. I think it's important for people who aren't part of the show to see all the work that goes into making the hair show perfect. Here is the video that I made:

Through out all the chaos, crying that happened back stage the show was a huge success. There were a little over 1,200 people in audience. A portion of each ticket sale was donated to the Battered Woman's Shelter here in Utah. The school raised over $1,500 for the shelter. I'm very proud of my school and all the students who participated in the show. GOOD JOB TA!!! 

Here are some photos from the show!!!!

Festival Of Colors!

Festival Of Colors!

  The festival of colors also know as the Holi color festival. Utah is a fun place to live but during the months of march and april it is AMAZING! The color fest is the Hindi way of welcoming the spring! It was my first color festival and i had a GREAT time. I went with my friend Becky who goes to TA with me :) The festival brings a huge crowed to their Temple where on every hour there is a color throwing. this is where everyone gathers at the stage and count down from ten. it is very hard to breath after you throw but it looks SO beautiful! the moment you step out of your car to park the colors start flying this fun powder looks RAD if you are wearing white. 

    After the festival my Facebook blew up with all the posts for people at color fest. A few of the girls were upset because their "pretty" platinum hair was now colored. A guest artist a few months Dalin Flint showed us how to use the Holi colors as a hair color stain just by adding water! this amazing stuff sticks too! It is just like another hair color but three times as bright. 

After the throwing, Becky and found a cool spot to take some photos here they are <3

Hands on with Nicholas French!

Nicholas French Class

    Is it real? Yes! NICK FRENCH at TA :) 

Nicholas french graced us with his wonderful presence this week! If you don't know who that is... he is a master hairdresser who has an amazing eye for Avant-Gard long hair dressing. He is a very important part of our hair history. Nick and his family owned the creative and artistic French's of london. freddy french (nicholas's father) inspired many including vidal sassoon! (who shadowed him for a short time.)

   Mr.French started out our guest artist class with a bang. Our VERY egger and excited audience was amazed to see his books with large prints of his work from the past. He wowed everyone with his storied of the royal family his father. We saw a video with clips of his dad doing hair shows, the amazing sculptures he made to decorate the windows at his dads salon. Nick really gave the crowed some encouragement to look into our history and be inspired by the past.

The fun didn't stop there! The next day we had a hands on class were we got one on one time with nicholas and his assistant where we got to learn new tricks and fun new ways to do long hair. He helped us really understand how many ways there are to back comb and get your pins to hold.my personal favorite part was when we all got to draw out on head forms what we wanted to create.  It was great I jus wish that it could have been longer!

Amazing two weeks of makeup class!

At my school we have a two week make up class were a group of mac professionals comes in and for a extra few (not so few) bucks you get a starter make up kit and super rad kit. Also in this class you get your mac pro certification after completing this class. I have been having so much fun and i am sad it is going to be over on monday. I have really learned amazing things. we talked a lot about color and my first though when are instructor said "hey guys tomorrow we are learning the color wheel" was OH NO! i have had this class over 100000000 times :(. I was very much surprised to learn that "the hair color wheel and the make up color wheel are sisters not twins". Color on the face are more about what colors look good in layers on top or near each other. which is different from hair color where you are using layers of color on top of each other to create a color. I really learned a lot about the intensity of the color you are using, triadic, complimentary, split complimentary, monochromatic, and analogous color combinations. Tomorrow we are doing are final photo shoot in class. i am very excited! thanks so much great instructors!

#1. You will need a manufacturer to back you up! You need product and you need a team!

#2. Extra batteries and extension chords. Outlets are very hard to find so be prepared.

#3.Granola bars. You never really know when you will get a break and the days are long.

#4. Be very real. there are a lot of people that want to walk all over you, but just stay nice and everyone will appreciate it.

#5. You have to have your show face on! be professional and show you want to be there.

#6. Now with your tools you will need very good pins but you will also need CHEEP pins. only because no matter what you will not see these back you want you look to stay strong and stable but not overpriced! 

#7. Business cards!!!!!!!!!!!!

#8. Know where you are going. GPS? subway app of any kind or even a good old fashioned map?

#9. Models are nice but they are not your friends so keep your conversations professional.

#10. Always dress to impress but also show you can work well. Pockets are important as well as your shoes!

Fashion week... for the first time.

What the Mercedes-benz 2012 fall Fashion week was really like in adjectives ;)
 It was..
Busy, crowded, cold, beautiful, overwhelming, FUN, colorful, skinny, tall, detailed, unorganized....., well organized, unstoppable, larger than life, powerful, inspiring, collaborative, skilled, professional,
EPIC!

      Two weeks ago i got up at 4:15am and flew to NYC. My biggest goal then was really to just get there! I was crossing my fingers that when i got there the stars would all align and i would get to see at least one great show. as soon as i landed i found i had totally underestimated just how much fun i was going to have and how many cool shows i was gong to see. I was staying with some family friends of mine Larra and Arri! Two of the greatest people ever. I had so much fun they made their loft style apartment feel like home! I would gladly stay on their futon there ANYDAY over a smelly hotel!
       The next step was to get in. The first thing i did was call every single person i know from the industry in NYC. my great friends Jaylin Youm http://www.facebook.com/jaylinyoum, Paul Miller http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=551157096, Joseph DiMaggiohttp://www.facebook.com/fashionmeetspassion , and Theresa Adams http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000202844347 all helped me out alot. They are the best people you could possibly meet they pushed me into the wonderful world of runway.
        My first show was for Reebok where i got to do some long hair. Second show was Katie Gallagher http://www.katiegallagher.com/fw12.htm it was so beautiful, i also got to do some really cool long hair. Number three was Cahrine malandrino http://www.catherinemalandrino.com/runway/. I was all photos for that one it was sooooo cool and needed to be documented.  The last show for Carlos Campos http://carloscampos.com/ at milk studios where we also got to see the public school http://publicschoolnyc.com/ mens wear collection :)
I had soooo much fun here is a link to all of the photos i took on my facebook http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3235583419056.2155730.1550834643&type=3
