The Image Hair Salon owner, Julie Goodmanson, and stylist, Cassi Benson, attended Lakeville-based company Scruples’ “Self Tour of Haircolor.” This two-day hands-on program teaches stylists how to understand each client’s personality and individual characteristics, enabling them to create the perfect color service. Stylists were shown a step-by-step procedure to determine how to customize formulas, foil placement, color application and tonal color family so every client leaves satisfied every visit. This class emphasized how to take the clients face shape, skin tone, and eye color and choose a color that would look the best on an individual basis and different foiling techniques to enhance the clients’ features. At the end of day two, students presented their finished mannequin heads and received a certificate of completion. This unique class was also attended by Modern Salon Magazine’s first chair editor, Alison Shipley.

“The Education is top notch and the skills learned can make you a better colorist,” said Shipley.
