In this exclusive interview with MODERN's Alison Shipley, Ruiz talks about the male client--and advice on how to get MORE men in your chair.

My class at Pivot Point International is nearing the end of Phase 1. In
other words, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh man, we hit the salon
floor, taking real live clients, in just a few weeks. I am so freaked

been great (and very, very brave) for letting me practice on them. More

in sculpting the basic forms by adding advanced sculpting techniques,
we’ve started to sprinkle in male client design techniques as well.
