Joico and ISO Educate Hair Pros
Created to build confidence and creativity among hair professionals, the AMP'd, the Artistic and Motivational Platform Tour, program provides stylists with the tools they need to improve their personal and professional lives. It features demonstrations and step-by-step instructions on creating the season's hottest hair shapes, textures and color designs. The program also presents the latest Joico and ISO hair collections and information on how to emulate the newest looks, as well as career inspiration. "There are many programs that help stylists learn how to open a salon or run a business," says Daniel Salce, a national corporate trainer for Joico and ISO. "But to accomplish anything, you have to first be happy and confident. This program demonstrates that each person has a purpose and shows people how to go beyond their circumstances, even if they are difficult, to become the person they're truly supposed to be."

Oster's David Guerin Shines in Russia
Oster Global Artistic Director David Guerin recently participated in the Ideal Beauty Show in St. Petersburg, Russia. More than 35,000 hairdressers attended the show to watch demonstrations, learn new hair procedures and techniques and discover Oster tools. "I'm amazed by how much the industry in Russia accepts and craves not just information about our Oster tools, but also fresh skills," says Guerin. "It isn't easy for these hairdressers to be able to purchase our products because of the expense compared to what they can charge for their services, but because of the impact we made, it convinced them to spend their hard-earned money on our tools."
