George Stockman’s success secret came from his father: Always do more than you’re paid to do. Applying that advice to his Showoffs Hair Salon in Dunbar, Pennsylvania, he increased business by 30 percent in the last 12 months by raising the value of services.
Example: He colors one area of the head (say, a large crown-area panel) one level lighter than the rest of the hair, which personalizes the color design. “A competitor down the street just can’t duplicate it,” says Stockman.

Kicking off the eight-city tour in NYC, Arrojo demonstrated The Asymmetric with a Jessica Bielinspired Inverted-V color, the “swing” layer cut with X-Pattern color (for a top spotlight effect a la Kelly Clarkson) and the “sqround” with partial shading that peeks though interior layers. The focus: consumer driven and immediately usable.

One of those stylists who, as a child, styled his sister’s Barbie dolls, Morris was recognized as Editorial Stylist of the Year by the North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) in 2005; in 2010, he was third runner-up on Bravo’s Shear Genius 3. He’s also had his work appear in Allure and Elle magazines. The foundation that boosted his artistry before beauty school, he says, was learning proportion and structure from metal sculpting and extending his vision doing make-up: “The face is a 3D canvas that you contour and highlight.”
