Ten years ago, when the tragic events of 9/11 happened, many of our MODERN SALON Media team was doing what we still do today—busily traveling and working to cover salon industry events, trends, education. NY-based Beauty Director Maggie Mulhern was on her way downtown to a photo shoot. SALON TODAY Editor Stacey Soble was in Los Angeles attending a spa management conference. Editorial Director Michele Musgrove was enjoying a quiet, radio-free commute from Chicago to MODERN’s suburban offices during her first week back from maternity leave. Those were our last moments of normal before everything changed
When MODERN editors heard the news of Elizabeth Taylor’s passing, we mourned the loss of a great actress, stunning beauty and hair icon. From National Velvet to Cleopatra, Taylor’s styles were always an inspiration to the beauty community. Her signature brunette shade coupled with her famous violet eyes were magic—on screen and off. And as one of the world’s most photographed women in an industry filled with blondes, fans couldn’t get enough of her dark, mysterious look. Still today, people are drawn to images of her.
If you have clients going out of the country or on a long vacation where they won't be able to keep up with their hair color, you're going to want to recommend the perfect color combination so that when their hair grows out it will look natural! In this segment of Modern Salon TV, Beth Minardi gives us her advice on what she would do in this situation.
Beth Minardi, spokesperson for Joico’s Vero K-Pak color, knows how to make her blonde and strawberry blonde clients look like they were born that way. “We’re going for a richer, more natural blonde—more sophisticated,” she says.
I recently received this question from a student colorist and thought it was wonderful she showed such an interest in being the best colorist she can—even as a student!
At Beth Minardi's recent master class at America's Beauty Show on behalf of Joico Vero K-PAK Color, she gave attendees three hours packed with color makeover demos, tips, innovative techniques and formulas and livelyquestion and answer segments. Here are some excerpts from the class:
Here’s to the beauty of BLONDE! When I see a good one, it really helps make my day! Sadly, we see the occasional burned, over-processed, fried or totally yellow hair paraded up and down the red carpet … until now!
Beth and Carmine Minardi held two special events and their salon introducing Joico’s K-Pak VaporIron (Beth is the Vero K-Pak Color spokesperson) and the Minardi Color Perfect Lighting System to more than 100 salon professionals and beauty editors.
