I am leaving for Florida on Friday and I am looking forward to diving in the beautiful blue water.  I get so much inspiration from diving, I will put a new cut online for printing down load, so come back and see what new shape that has inspired me from the tropics and the sea.  I can hardly wait.  Tomorrow I am doing hair for L'Oreal's Centennial Celebration 50 years,  I will get some pictures of the event.  The interns will be dressed in period costumes and the hair will reflect the times.  Can't wait it will be fun. Come back and see the pictures....

Disconnection is a method for cutting hair without physically connecting the sections with the cut. It’s been around for a long time, but is recently making it’s way back into the salons. We are currently using this cutting method to reduce weight where needed, and add add interest to any haircut.

This haircut is a modern version of an old classic, the bob. It’s a great way to introduce disconnection to timid clients. In this article, I'll give you the diagrams, tips and techniques to reproduce this haircut.

Coming soon, Ellen will be posting a series of diagrams and photos of one of the haircuts she demonstrated on stage in Las Vegas during the Redken Symposium last month, the Disconnected Bob. Her goal is to teach other stylists the techniques and designs that are current, fashionable, and client friendly. We hope you enjoy this new feature, so please give us feedback. Post comments either here.  

Tuesday afternoon officially closed RAC but opend EDS for the Exhange Facilitatiors.  We were to meet at the pool for an adventure that was to be a surprise.  We all gathered with Yida Pellerito, Mardina Knight, Christine Shuster, Suzanne Sturm heading up our group.  We boarded a bus for a short ride to a place called Skyventure.  Yida's idea was to experience indoor skydiving.  We were all exicited and nervous.  Let's just say our adrenaline was running just a liitle high.

Saturday a group of Redken facilitators participated in a finishing prep lead by Chris Baran we went through a few techniques like root tonging, spiral tonging, the Marcel wave and the frizz to name a few.  The Marcel wave was the best and my personal favorite. This excersize was to get us ready for the big Finish on Monday where close to 900 hundred Redken Artists from all over the world

Well its 9:28pm and I am just sitting down at my computer to write about the days events. I arrived in Orlando yesterday and am staying at the Peabody Hotel. I had to quickly check in and rush over to the Apple Store in order to have my iPhone checked out, again!
