Whoops ! My apologies .....we mistakenly posted Episode #1 for a second time and now have posted the real Episode #2 . So sorry Anthony , for the mistake.....

Welcome to episode #2 of our “Trainer to Trainer” series !

We have brought back Anthony Presotto for a second round of information , perceptions , and recommendations that can help educators/trainers , gain a better understanding of their role and the impact they can have with the message they deliver.

In this episode we discuss some of the challenges that we deal with such as our own personal self-consciousness and how to clear our head to get us in the right mindset for success.

We also discuss how to combat “dis-information” that continues too confuse the learner.

For those of you who follow Guru Nation , you will be surprised to hear how Anthony’s perceptions are very similar to the message that we deliver.

Enjoy the Listen !

You would think , after all the years , all the classes , all the “in Salon” experiences , that Grey hair would no longer be such a challenge and we would have complete understanding of , what it is , how it reacts with hair color, and how to achieve consistent success in the Salon , when dealing with these issues.

But , alas , we still have struggles along with inconsistent information and training , to help us improve our skills and knowledge.

Trainer to Trainer

I am so excited about this new series where we have an opportunity to hear from the people who have worked on their skills , not only as a hairdresser , but a trainer as well.

Did you know that hairdresser skill sets and Trainer skills sets are comprised of different skills ?

Just because I can execute wonderful hairdressing results behind the chair , does not mean I will be a great educator !

There is a huge difference between “sharing” and “training”

In this series we hope to offer insight into what it takes to be a successful trainer and some perceptions and challenges all trainers share.

So , if you desire to be an educator , want to improve your training skills, or need a place to find out that you are not the only person who faces challenges when it comes to facilitating a successful class , this might be a series you want to listen to.

We begin our series with Anthony Presotto from Queensland Australia.

A long time friend and mentor to me

Anthony has an extensive history , as a Salon owner , educator for several hair color companies , a prolific author of articles & books , not only on hair color , but also hairdressing , hair design , and self improvement.

I am sure you will find him delightful , engaging , and a valuable resource for knowledge , strategies , and behaviors to help us all chart our path to success.

After listening , we welcome comments and/or questions we can address in upcoming episodes…….Enjoy your listen !

Does color lift color ?

Well , the conventional answer has always been no ………but , is that really true ?

It all depends on how we qualify lift !

I we qualify lift as breaking down all artificial dyes in the hair fiber from previous colors , then you may not agree with what we are about to share in this podcast.

What if I told you that hair color used on previously tinted hair can , in some cases , affect the previous color ?

Would you believe me ?

Take a listen to this podcast , then share your thoughts and any questions you might have.

Enjoy the listen !

Do you have "aluma-phobia" ? 

The fear that your aluminum whisk will create a chemical reaction with your hair color products.

 Stop It !

 Let me share a few things you should know about this "alloy" , that may eliminate your fears. 

It will only take 10min and 17 seconds Enjoy !

Have you heard ?

There seems to be a belief out there that "wet balayage" (Applying your lightener to wet hair instead of dry hair) allow you to lighten the hair faster.

If speed is your only concern , then , you do you !

However , there are a few things you might want to know.

1. When hair is wet , it is in it's weakest state, because it has lost 1/3 of it's strength (Hydrogen bonds) and this make it very susceptible to more damage than it normally exposed to. Imagine pulling or stretching wet hair and then applying the most aggressive solution in hair color to that stressed fiber.

2. Using lightener on wet hair will exponentially increase damage ! Even though you may not see it.....don't believe me , do a tensile strength test on the hair after the lightening service and see for yourself.

3. Science teaches us that water will actually dilute the action of a bleach mixture by affecting the developer. Not the powder.

Spend the next 27 min with us and it may change the way you think about hair color forever.

Enjoy your listening !
