I had been very lucky throughout my career to have had some amazing experience and met amazing people. During those years, i’ve got looked around, checked things out and made a catalogue of items i’d want if i may have my dream. Then last June, a few week before we were speculated to move to our lake house for the summer, our full-time home sold and with excitement (and a little bit anxiety), we wanted a brand new home. Now with a worldwide of opportunities to choose between, we sat down as a family to determine what our next adventure has to be? Where did we wish to live?

Our oldest daughter said she didn’t desire to move from the city we lived in, Leah (my wife) desired to stay near her mom, and because i like where we are living too, all we wanted to do was find the correct home/building within the same town. Over the last few years, Leah and that i were attempting to buy a building, but had struck out, and the one thing we had accomplished was loosing money. But, we thought we’d try yet another time for the family, and heck, if it didn’t work this time we did not have our home anymore anyway, since it was under contract, so we knew we were going somewhere.

With great hope, we got down to discover a new home where i may have an artistic center to shoot pictures and videos, a studio to deal with guest’s hair and a guest suite so stylists could come to coach with us – a tall order, but we were searching for a dream. So, tomorrow with contracts signed on our house, we went out to peer inside the town we were living in and organize appointments to look three homes. We visited two other homes that day, but fell in love with our dream.

From the instant we walked into what’s know called The Snyder House, we fell in love. After we entered the 1857 built (the civil war started in 1861 for some perspective), Federal style brick home, we were met by its current owner Mrs. Snyder, who together with her recently deceased husband were the second one family to occupy the virtually 160 year old home. The primary family who built the home, the Hartzell, owned a legal distillery and lived in the home until 1958 once they sold the house to the Snyder’s, Dr. Robert and Mrs. Helen Snyder, who purchased it in 1958. Originally a personal home for the Hartzell’s, the Snyder’s had used the building as a main home at the second and third floors with their three children, with a doctor’s office at the first floor. After I saw this my eyes grew big and a grin found my face, it was almost too good to be true. As we walked further in the course of the house, things just kept improving.

So what is the dream? The dream for me was to have an artistic center where i will be able to create, take care of guests and share ideas with salon professionals. Over the following couple of months, i’ll be sharing my dream, because it becomes a reality with four key components, Studio/Salon, Creative Center, Guest Suite, Home.

GOALS:

Studio/Salon

An intimate, hi-end, private, four chair Studio/Salon with three team members which are open by appointment only. Our studio could have three team members from outside the house, to take care of guests (that is the max variance we got for the home to permit in accordance with previous usage) and function a test lab for my ideas.

Creative Center

Space to create videos, perform photo shoots, host seminars and feature fun. an area where i will explore ideas, collaborate with friends and fasten with salon professionals.

Guest Suite

Home

Finally, our new building may be our home for our family giving us the chance to stick in a community we like while still allowing me to drive to Ny city in lower than two hours.

This is a good time for us and a chance to share much more while opening ourselves as much as new people to come back into our lives and share too. i glance forward to keeping you contemporary on our progress as we not just build our dream, but in addition restore this gorgeous building and share our great fortune with our community and salon professionals.

amika has partnered with Friends Are By Your Side (FABYS) to introduce the amika x Friends Are By Your Side Styler—a customized edition of amika’s top-performing Digital Titanium Glide Styler.

Developed in collaboration with FABYS’s founder and amika’s HSN host, Martino Cartier, a part of the proceeds from this styler are donated to the muse, which goes to give wigs for ladies who’ve experienced hair loss undergoing cancer treatments, and grants wigs and desires to children suffering from the disease.

Established in 2011, Martino Cartier founded FABYS, a pending non-profit organization, after witnessing the need for an uncomplicated resource for girls wanting wigs during cancer treatment—who often face overwhelming bureaucratic barriers within similar donation organizations. FABYS works within a network of salons that span the rustic to provide high-quality wigs—at free of charge to these in need—as they endure treatment for cancer.

“Being a hairdresser for decades, I’ve encountered countless women battling cancer who’ve experienced hair loss, and such a lot of of them were unsure of where to show, or were met with red-tape, when looking for a wig,” stated Martino Cartier. “I desired to provide women with a simple resource with Friends Are By Your Side, and to unite fellow hairdressers with the goal of granting wigs and desires to children and girls fighting cancer.”

“As we watched Martino build and grow the FABYS foundation, the amika team was incredibly moved by his generosity and devotion,” stated Chelsea Barber, amika’s Director of Sales. “Martino plays an essential role inside the amika brand development—demonstrating our products to millions of girls through HSN. Knowing that we had millions of TV viewers at our fingertips, we felt it was a chief opportunity to extend FABYS’s awareness.”

The customized amika x Friends Are By Your Side Styler is gifted in a metallic hot pink exterior with golden plates, and lines two golden charms set upon a series at the styler’s base—the amika and FABYS signature logos. Developed with energy-efficient MCH ceramic heaters, with an adjustable temperature as much as 450°F, the titanium plates offer maximum heat conductivity and instant heat recovery to make sure uniform temperature distribution while styling. Far-infrared heat eliminates frizz and retains hairs’ natural moisture. The amika x Friends Are By Your Side Styler is exclusively available on HSN for the cost of $120.00.

The amika x Friends Are By Your Side Styler will make its next appearance on HSN on November 21, 2013. On-air, Martino Cartier will continue to encourage his audience to directly contact the FABYS foundation in the event that they, or someone they know, may benefit from the foundation’s services.

(Photo by Stephane De Sakutin/AFP/Getty Images) Your client loves the pixies we’re seeing on a various crop of celebs from Pam Anderson to Jennifer Hudson, but she’s afraid that she’d lose interest with such short hair. No ponytail, side pony or topknot. No flirty flipping or long, romantic waves. Still, she has the features to hold a pixie and would like the wash-and-go lifestyle. She just can’t decide.

How are you able to help? 

Find celebrity who really rocks the pixie. That will be Charlize Theron. Show your pixie-yearning client how more aggressive layering or heavier volume inside the fringe area supplies a lot of options. Even without changing much concerning the cut, that you can take your fingers and a few product and show your client switch up the pixie to compare the occasion.

The Oribe Backstage Miami: La Fama, held this past summer, was a multi-day event taking stylists on a journey through Oribe’s Latin influences. Several thousand salon professionals attended the grand finale event, THE SHOW, which was full of hair, beauty and fashion inspirations.

Those who attended La Fama were invited to take part in a challenge: Recreate the keenness from the show, and capture it on camera in an original salon team photo shoot. Salons were allowed to submit one professionally shot portfolio (as much as 10 photos) per location. The photographs needed to have a standard theme or tell a comprehensive story that was inspired by some means by the Backstage event.

More than 50 salons, ranging in size from two to 30-plus chairs, entered the Backstage Inspiration Challenge. Every entry was posted on Oribe.pro, the personal Oribe community for the Oribe network, and members were asked to vote for his or her favorite three portfolios. Once the end 16 were chosen by their peers, the finalists were submitted to a judging panel that included Oribe, members of the Oribe Education Team and our own Beauty and Fashion Director Maggie Mulhern. Collectively, every photo submitted was posted on Facebook for the Fan Favorite Contest, during which thousands of votes were cast.

Modern is thrilled to announce the winners. Congrats to all.
