One of my absolute favorite things to teach is #salonbusiness through @michaelcolebgtd ‘s #overthetop and @summitsalon business methods! I love showing up and coming student stylists as well as veteran stylists how to INCREASE their presence, INCREASE their revenue, and INCREASE their time doing the things that they LOVE to do, all while continuously reinventing themselves behind the chair! It would be absolutely amazing to one day teach for Summit and take what I love to teach at TSPA DC to the rest of the stylists out there! #hairstylist #masterbarber #barber #cosmetology #cosmetologyschool #womenshair #menshair #fashion @tspadc #tspa #tspadc #educator #washintondc #redken #redkenobsessed #redkenelite #cosmetology #samvilla #samvillahair @samvillahair #redkenspecialist @redken #redkenready #redkenartist #redkencertifiedhaircolorist #learnearnlivebetter #redkentribe #redkenartistcc (at The Salon Professional Academy - DC)

Spending my day off practicing color application then some braiding and twisting. #needpractice #hair #hairstyles #student #cosmetologyschool #beautyschool #beauty #tspadc#cosmetologystudent #dmvlife #teamjohanne

Teaching the process of the skin fade to a cosmetology student to give them that extra edge when graduating and going into the salon world gives me immense joy! Learn something about everything, give yourself more value behind the chair and to a salon, become versatile in your craft and you’ll find yourself in a whole new world of success. #hairstylist #masterbarber #barber #cosmetology #cosmetologyschool #womenshair #menshair #fashion @tspadc #tspa #tspadc #educator #washintondc #redken #redkenobsessed #redkenelite #cosmetology #samvilla #samvillahair @samvillahair #redkenspecialist @redken #redkenready #redkenartist #redkencertifiedhaircolorist #learnearnlivebetter #redkentribe #redkenartistcc (at The Salon Professional Academy - DC)

There's only ONE WORD to describe this blur, and I'm gonna SPELL IT OUT! S-A-W-F-T SAWWWWWWWFT!!! Used my 7" dry cutting shears as well as my 5.75" swivels, blow dryer, style row, and paddle brush...all from @samvillahair , @wahlpro cordless magic clip and detailer for the cut. The styled with Satinwear 03, Manuever from #redkenformen Wind Blown 05, all from @Redken I have very limited openings throughout the rest of the year, last I checked there were only 27 appointments available. If you haven't made your appointments into 2018, do it now! I am currently booking into AND THROUGHOUT next year, I have quite a few clients who have reserved their times through New Years of NEXT YEAR! Call 410-636-6171 to reserve your 2017 and 2018 haircuts with me! Having trouble finding an availability? DM me and we can work out a time for you, or I can recommend another stylist that would be able to perform your service with the quality that you expect from me. #hairstylist #masterbarber #barber #womenshair #menshair #fashion @tspadc #tspa #tspadc #educator #washintondc #redken #redkenobsessed #redkenelite #cosmetology #samvilla #samvillahair @samvillahair #redkenspecialist @redken #redkenready #redkenartist #redkenready #redkencertifiedhaircolorist #learnearnlivebetter #redkentribe #redkenartistcc #wemakeitvivid #vividsalonlinthicum @wemakeitvivid (at Vivid Salon Linthicum)

Every haircut has a beginning, middle, and end result. The steps you take in between are vital, especially when getting close to the scalp. Skin fades can be one of the absolute HARDEST and most technically challenging haircuts to execute. The attention to detail must be at 100% to create a perfect skin fade. It's taken me years to get to where I am, watching individuals like @staygold31 @justinthomashair and @andrewdoeshair and I am so fortunate to be able to pass down tricks I've learned from taking chances, trial and error, and constantly learning, down to the individuals at @tspadc so that they can BEGIN their careers at the top of their game, and not have to dig through the trenches like many of us have.

I'm loving this subtle #balayage by our student @swatimehta7 here at @tspadc on a brand new guest. At #tspadc or students are mastering the #artofconsultation by asking the right questions to find out exactly what each guest is expecting from their service. For her guest, a subtle balayage using our #phbonder treatment followed by a #shadeseqgloss application was just what the doctor ordered! Call 202-216-9700 to reserve an appointment with Swati, or any one of our amazing students today! #hairstylist #masterbarber #barber #cosmetologyschool #womenshair #menshair #fashion @tspadc #tspa #tspadc #educator #washintondc #redken #redkenobsessed #redkenelite #cosmetology #samvilla #samvillahair @samvillahair #redkenspecialist @redken #redkenready #redkenartist #redkenready #redkencertifiedhaircolorist #learnearnlivebetter #redkentribe #redkenartistcc (at The Salon Professional Academy - DC)

3 years ago, today, I taught in front of a group at @pmtheschooljessup for the very first time! Now, education is my entire life! I'm so fortunate and thankful for the opportunities that have presented themselves to me, and for having the courage to say YES and JUMP! Thank you to @shiftycat @asotodoeshair and @tmerso1 for making me take my tools that day and making me step out of my comfort zone in front of a crowd and do what I love. Without this day, I may not be where I am now. #hairstylist #masterbarber #barber #cosmetologyschool #womenshair #menshair #fashion @tspadc #tspa #tspadc #educator #washintondc #redken #redkenobsessed #redkenelite #cosmetology #samvilla #samvillahair @samvillahair #redkenspecialist @redken #redkenready #redkenartist #redkenready #redkencertifiedhaircolorist #learnearnlivebetter #redkentribe #redkenartistcc

I am able to do what I do because of countless hours of practice and education, but also because I use the best tools in the business. Thank you to @samvillahair @samvillaprotools @wahlpro @osterpro and @andisclippers for making the best tools this industry has ever seen. If anybody has any questions on why I use what I use, please feel free to simply ask! #hairstylist #masterbarber #barber #womenshair #menshair #fashion @tspadc #tspa #tspadc #educator #washintondc #redken #redkenobsessed #redkenelite #cosmetology #samvilla #samvillahair @samvillahair #redkenspecialist @redken #redkenready #redkenartist #redkenready #redkencertifiedhaircolorist #learnearnlivebetter #redkentribe #redkenartistcc (at Vivid Salon Linthicum)

HEY EVERYBODY! Don't forget that after August 12 I will have a new cutting schedule at @wemakeitvivid in Linthicum! I will begin cutting hair every OTHER Friday starting August 25th. Due to this, I will not be accepting any new clients at this time unless directly contacted and approved for an appointment by me. I understand this will inconvenience some, however with the limited schedule that I will have to provide haircut services, I have to manage my timings very efficiently. Thank you for understanding and if you'd like to be on my Call List in case cancellations happen, please feel free to message me and I can put you down. #hairstylist #masterbarber #barber #womenshair #menshair #fashion #tspa #tspadc #educator #washintondc #redken #redkenobsessed #redkenelite #cosmetology #samvilla #samvillahair @samvillahair #redkenspecialist @redken #redkenready #redkenartist #redkenready #redkencertifiedhaircolorist #learnearnlivebetter #redkentribe #redkenartistcc (at Vivid Salon Linthicum)

I’ll be at @saloncentric in West Lawn, PA on March 19th doing an awesome #balayage demo program for all of the stylists in the West Lawn, PA area!

I guarantee everyone attending will leave with all of the #balayage tools they need to #learnearnlivebetter with #redkeneducation #hairstylist #masterbarber #barber #cosmetology #cosmetologyschool #womenshair #menshair #fashion @tspadc #tspa #tspadc #educator #washintondc #maryland #baltimore #redken #redkenobsessed #redkenelite #cosmetology #samvilla #samvillahair @samvillahair #redkenspecialist @redken #redkenready #redkenartist #redkencertifiedhaircolorist #learnearnlivebetter #redkentribe #redkenartistcc @brewsandbarbers #redkenbrews

Today we will be discussion #principlesofdesign and #principlesofshape with our foundations class here at TSPA DC. Principles give us an unequivocal understanding of the WHY. When blue is mixed with yellow, it makes green...this is a principle of color. When hair is cut at 45 degrees above horizontal 90, it reverses the natural head shape...this is a principle of elevation. Does that make sense? We study principle based ideas because they are universal, empowering, and will never change. #hairstylist #masterbarber #barber #cosmetology #cosmetologyschool #womenshair #menshair #fashion @tspadc #tspa #tspadc #educator #washintondc #redken #redkenobsessed #redkenelite #cosmetology #samvilla #samvillahair @samvillahair #redkenspecialist @redken #redkenready #redkenartist #redkencertifiedhaircolorist #learnearnlivebetter #redkentribe #redkenartistcc @coachchrisbaran (at The Salon Professional Academy - DC)
