The true magic doesn’t happen in the salon but in the workshops behind the scenes – where technique transforms into pure art!
My Third Pillar: WORKSHOPS – Education is the Key 🎨✂️
I don’t just love working with my clients in the salon; I’m equally passionate about sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm with fellow hairstylists and makeup artists. Education has become a huge part of my work, and today, I’d like to take you on a journey into this creative world.
What Does Education Mean to Me?
Imagine being in a room full of inspiration, ideas, and creative vibes. That’s exactly what my workshops are! Here, I don’t just teach professional skills—be it haircuts, color correction like grey blending, or makeup techniques—I also dive deeply into the artistic side of our craft.
In these workshops, we not only learn how to cut hair perfectly or mix colors precisely, but also how to infuse our clients’ personalities into their looks. Preparing for each workshop is its own journey, as every session is individually tailored to meet the specific needs of participants, whether in group settings or salon training sessions. I meticulously plan each workshop, research trends, develop new methods, and create a custom agenda to ensure every workshop is unique and packed with value.
Education, for me, is about celebrating the diversity of our industry and passing on my knowledge. It’s the combination of technique, art, and creativity. I firmly believe that creative solutions require constant new stimuli, which I draw from every workshop I conduct. It’s about engaging deeply with hair as a material—its chemical, technical, and physical properties—and harmonizing these with the human element.
Psychological aspects also play a big role: How do I understand my clients’ wishes? How can I highlight their personality through our craft? This mix of technical expertise and the ability to understand people makes the difference between a good and a great result. Education is, for me, a process of continuous learning, experimentation, and trying new things. This excites me every day and keeps my creativity alive.
What’s in It for You as a Client?
It’s simple: You benefit! The techniques I teach in my workshops, the latest trends I discover and develop—all of this flows directly into my work in the salon. Your hair benefits from my drive to explore the latest technologies and techniques. This allows me to create the perfect look for you—individual, unique, and always up-to-date.
For instance, when I develop new color techniques or haircuts, I always think about my salon clients. How can I apply these techniques to fulfill their unique wishes and ideas? How can I adapt the latest trends to suit them perfectly? These considerations shape every one of my workshops and help me bring the best out of every salon appointment.
Another advantage for you: I bring pro-industry knowledge directly into the salon in a compact format. Whether through 1:1 makeup training or 1:1 hairstyling and haircare sessions, I share my expertise in a way tailored just for you. These trainings go beyond techniques—they’re also about understanding the best way to care for your hair, which products suit you, and how to create your personal look at home. This ensures you’re always well-informed and can rely on receiving the best possible advice.
How Does This Fit with My Salon Work?
You might wonder how all this aligns with my work in the salon. It’s simple: I love the variety! On one hand, I have direct contact with my clients, bringing their hair dreams to life and making them happy. On the other, I value exchanging knowledge with colleagues, sharing ideas, and inspiring one another. This combination of hands-on salon work and creative workshops fuels my passion and drives me forward.
My salon work and workshops complement each other perfectly: In the salon, I apply what I’ve learned, testing new ideas and techniques in practice. Feedback from my clients helps me refine my workshops and better address the needs of fellow professionals. Conversely, the experiences I gain from workshops flow back into my daily work. I’m convinced that constant learning and sharing knowledge are key to keeping our industry vibrant and innovative.
This also explains why the salon is occasionally closed during the week—those are the times I’m on an education tour for L’Oréal or other companies. These tours are not just a great opportunity to share my knowledge but also to learn myself. The exchange with other hairstylists and makeup artists constantly inspires me and gives me new ideas, which I then bring back to the salon.
For my clients, this means they always benefit from the latest trends and techniques. Whether it’s cutting-edge cutting methods, innovative coloring techniques, or specialized care products, I stay at the forefront of the industry and bring this expertise directly to you in the salon.
Workshops as a Source of Inspiration
My workshops are an endless source of inspiration. It’s incredible to see hairstylists and makeup artists from diverse backgrounds come together to learn from each other and grow together. Every workshop, every exchange, brings new ideas, and often it’s the participants themselves who inspire me. I find it fascinating to see how other creatives work, the challenges they face, and how they overcome them.
I often return from a workshop brimming with new impressions and ideas and can’t wait to try them out in the salon. This means that my work never stands still. I constantly evolve, experiment with new techniques, and draw inspiration from current trends. So, you can rest assured that you’ll always get the best from me—not just in terms of technique but also in creativity and personalized consultation.
So, I’m Anja, and the next time you sit in my salon chair, you can be sure that every cut, every color, and every style is enriched by the knowledge from my workshops.
And who knows—you might just inspire my next workshop! 💫
Cheers, and see you soon,
Yours, Anja 🌸
