Rodney asked the questions and got the REAL answers on how to be a GREAT hairdresser working behind the scenes not just at fashion shows but on session work in general. Rodney gets to the nitty gritty on how Peter got to be a superstar. Superstar interviews superstar. A MUST VIEW for all hairdressers looking to learn more about the thrill of editorial work.

Successfully Achieving Your Goals
It’s funny how many people call or e-mail to ask how they can become an educator, get a job in New York, find models for a shoot or win a competition, etc. Then, when I ask specifics like, who do you want to teach for? What salon do you want to work with? Or what the is the idea for the shoot? The answers are very often: "anybody, anywhere, or I am just starting to think about it."
