Matrix held a special salon event last night at Mizu on Park Avenue in New York City. Key stylists and editors were invited to witness Ammon Carver create five different looks using the Design Pulse Collection. Two new products have been added to the collection: MIX IN SHINE and BEACH CLAY. In this video, Ammon demonstrates how he uses the session friendly products to transform his model from soft and classic to chic and exciting. Watch the Video now!

Hi everyone, from Miami! OR, bienvenido a Miami, as they say here in South Beach! MODERN is here in beautiful Florida to hang out with the very cool Matrix peeps and document something VERY special for one lucky (and talented!) student and his Academy!
When I wrote the subject line of this blog about Matrix's 201 Imagination, "And it gets better and better," I meant it...This show is unlike any other manufacturer show, it's NOT AT ALL about the products, it's NOT AT ALL about the numbers, it's ALL about the inspiration and education behind the hairdressers involved and the extreme amount of dedication and passion the Matrix Senior Team has for the industry.
Today is my second day in Palm Springs, California, where I am participating in my VERY FIRST Matrix Imagination event!Not only am I super excited about getting out of snowy Chicago, but I am ecstatic to be hanging out with some of the coolest peeps in the industry. As you may remember from my previous blogs back in December, I was asked to be a guest judge for Matrix’s Spread the Love competition—in which the Matrix team and I interviewed and selected the 6 winners from the 22 finalists to participate in a 6-month, all expenses paid tour around the country!
Today was the final judging day of Matrix Spread the Love competition--and I am so honored, so full of gratitude and joy, that I was selected to be the only guest judge among all the Matrix top big wigs to get the chance to interview the 22 top finalists in the Spread the Love competition.
The Matrix Mannequin Mania competition has selected its second round of semi-finalists in each of four categories: hair stylist, salon team, beauty school student and Matrix friends and family. Here, a few semi finalists share their design inspiration.
Matrix held a “pop up studio” offering four weeks of advanced education to all licensed hairdressers in the Omaha, NE. As the grand finale, groups of hair stylists had to create styles for mannequins and compete to see whose was the best.
Lately, there's been a lot of talk about giving back. Whether you're
giving back to the community, giving back to your peers, or giving back
to the industry—whatever you can do to make a difference in the lives
of others is so important.
