Now that I have had an opportunity to reflect on winning Favorite Educator/Platform Artist of the Year at the Stylist Choice awards in Chicago, I remember my dream as a hairdresser in beauty school was to be a platform artist after seeing my first hair show, thanks dad.
Thank you to Mary and her incredible team at behindthechair.com for their caring support and contributions to this industry! You have given the stylist a voice and we thank you for that!
It was certainly an honor to be in the mix with such incredible talent; Beth Minardi, Robert Cromeans, Nick Arrojo, and Martino Cartier, as they all have that incredible passion as educators! I applaud them all!
Thank you to all who voted, my Redken family, my team at ALLVUS, as I feel I have been surrounded by a team filled with the spirit of hairdressing and it is in that spirit that I say thanks to you all for your support and belief!
I will continue to stand before you motivated by the passion to teach for it is passion that feeds my dreams and makes them come true. Each of you as a hairdresser has a professional ambition,
a personal dream. You see my friends, passion is the spark that ignites self-motivation and it starts with examining our purpose within our job. We are all blessed with gifts; these gifts need to be shared. Passionate belief in your dreams and goals is the only fuel that will get us over, around or through the many obstacles we encounter as hairdressers. We won’t achieve it unless we continue to be passionate about it.
The most important ingredient of passion is love, the love
of this industry, the love
of the art, and you are
all artists and
I applaud you! Thank You!
