New School

What a bumbling burst of inspiration today was! James Ruiz, the fabulously talented educator and artist for Bumble & Bumble was in the house today. He created two looks and transformed our models using razor cutting techniques and a perfect blend of Bumble styling products. James is one of the most personable, informative, and talented educators i've ever had the privilege of watching and learning from. He travels all over the country bringing the founding concepts of Bumble & bumble to salons and stylists who are craving the unique passion and culture that IS Bumble & Bumble. I was definitely thirsty for that signature "Bumble juice"...Well, that's what I call it at least. Picture a college party: you know there is going to be some beer or a keg, a bottle of Whiskey or Vodka, and maybe even some jello shots if the hosts are really feeling themselves. But what will set that party apart from every other party on the street? Jungle Juice. Bumble products and techniques are like jungle juice, they set you apart from the crowd and keep the possibilities endless. If somewhere in the house there's a bathtub filled with a magic elixir that will make you feel sassy and make him look like Ryan gosling, that's where you want to be.

I started my career working in a "house of Sassoon" - where structure and precision paved the way for your next great haircut and style, but we also worked with a Bumble & Bumble back bar. Being slightly Type-A, I gravitated toward Sassoon techniques as a fundamental strategy in honing my craft, but I consider myself lucky to have greased my training wheels with the oil of two companies so rich with artistic integrity. I've been using Bumble & Bumble hair care products for nearly 10 years and I am thrilled to experience their education now as well. Razor cutting is something Bumble Live really helped me understand more. When I understand something more, I feel confident to bring it to my clients. When I bring something valuable and impactful to my clients and create a look they didn't know they were missing, they feel exceptional...they feel distinguished...they feel personalized...and that means I did my job.

So thank you, James...for all the Bumble Juice...I guess it's true what they say: Once you go Bumble, you never go back.
