The Wire
September 1, 2007 By: American Salon Staff American SalonNext on tap was an opening ceremony, hosted by JPMS Artistic Director Robert Cromeans, which featured show-stopping hair. Presentations included a runway show, flawlessly executed by Future Professionals from various Paul Mitchell Schools, as well as a lively segment from Linda Yodice and Scott Cole, artistic directors for Paul Mitchell Professional Hair Color, which showcased the new Earthstones Fall '07 color trend. For their part, Angus Mitchell and the Angus M Team, along with the ARCS Angels from A Robert Cromeans Salon, kept the momentum going with a parade of models sporting fashion-forward hair. In addition to lively stage presentations, attendees also got the chance to participate in interactive classes where learning cutting-edge techniques was the name of the game. Among the highlights: Hands-On Cut & Color with Stephanie Kocielski and Takashi Kitamura; Hands-On Styling with Jimy Angel, Melissa Jacqua, Maureen McCarthy and Pamela Perettie; and a witty yet wise "Seriously" Business Seminar led by the incomparable Cromeans.

Day two of the agenda featured equal parts motivation and inspiration. Winn Claybaugh, dean of Paul Mitchell the Schools, kicked off the morning with a talk about the importance of keeping the lines of communication open in business circles and personal situations. Later that same day, hair again took center stage with a finale that featured Cromeans' cutting and styling segment set to a rain-themed soundtrack, Kocielski's circus-influenced extravaganza and a hands-on styling presentation that sent a mélange of models down the runway.
"From the beginning we were determined to create a company that went beyond the products we created," DeJoria says. "Of course, we continue to develop outstanding products that help hairdressers perform their best and we always will, but we also have the passion, programs and people that make us who we are today."
