| Staff and stylists pose for a shot at Metro for Men salon in Irvine, California: You know you're a hairstylist when its all about the image! |
Take MODERN fan Marci Wolcott, for example. MODERN posted a pic of a braid making its way around Pinterest, and after it got thousands of "likes," we challenged our fans to recreate the look. Marci not only recreated it, but shared her how-to video on our wall. Her work was so impressive, she became spotlighted as a MODERN SALON TV Featured Artist in our latest episode.
Not only do we LOVE all the work, photoshoots, and color formulas you're sharing—but we want even MORE! We're SO close to 50,000 fans, but MODERN needs your help! Go to facebook.com/modernsalon, and on the right side of the page, click "invite friends." Make sure to invite your industry colleagues/peers/friends to connect with MODERN. AND, to show off their talents. Not only will they get the opportunity to catch the eye of a MODERN editor (and maybe become a MODERN SALON TV Featured Artist!), but they'll also get to have a little fun, too : )
Recently, we posed the question: "You know you're a hair stylist when _________" and the comments came flooding in—nearly 600 replies, and they were so hilarious everyone was laughing and "liking" about how true they are. Check out some of our favorite responses below.
