Salons including The Cutting Edge, The Styling Corner and Shear Paradise in Owego, NY; and Paula McNeil, Image Salon and The Klip Joint in Athens, PA, faced a long rebuilding process after they were destroyed in August by the destructive one-two punch of Hurricane Irene and a severe tropical storm just several days later.

Meet the Spread the Love winners! MODERN SALON and First Chair were given the tremendous honor to be a part of the Matrix judging panel that picked 2012's Spread the Love group. Each of the 20 finalists would have made an incredible addition to the team but, in the end, only six could be chosen.
Matrix has launched four new developers—Matrix Cream Developer 10, 20, 30 and 40 Volume—can be used with all Matrix SOCOLOR, Color Sync, Dream.Age, Wonder.brown and Logics shades, along with V-Light Powder Lightener.
Recently Matrix has recognized the demand for bi-lingual education in the hair styling profession and to meet that demand, Matrix has assembled Latino Expressionists, an elite squad of Spanish-speaking hairstyling pros. Led by Matrix Artistic Designer Robert Santana, this group of 14 stylists will bring Matrix education to Spanish speaking hair stylists throughout the U.S.

We have a new operations director at our studio and she will be instrumental in helping us get ready for 2012. I love being prepared and find most salon owners and stylists are too busy to prepare, which means they do what they have always done and get the same results. I am telling you, in 2012, we are not going to do the same, we are going to do BETTER! The one thing that will insure success is a good plan - remember, you plan for success, failure just happens.
’Tis the season for hectic schedules, which means your clients are looking for ways to spend less time styling, but may not know of the services available.
