Trendz is a hair show demonstrating some of the latest and most cutting edge techniques and products in the hair industry. It is important to us to stay on the top of our game, with the ability to always offer our clients the latest advancements in hair. Some if the big names were in attendance at the show: Alfaparf, Schwarzkopf, Coppola, AG and Fan Out just to name a few.

One of the key words circulating the Trendz 2009 hair show was “placement”, referring to color placement. The show has inspired us to reach out of our comfort zone and re-think color placement for our highlights and dynamic colors.  We have even developed a concept collection using our new Italian color line Alfaparf. Nico Spalon is now an educational center for Alfaparf and will soon be teaching classes on the new color line.

Another rave of Trendz was the Coppola Keratin Hair Therapy (a hair smoothing system). The crowd around the Coppola booth was unlike any other. This non-chemical smoothing system is just what the hair industry has been looking for. It leaves hair smooth, straight, silky and with low maintenance. Nico Spalon has been teaching classes on the Keratin Hair Therapy for the past year now, hosting class at Nico and traveling around to other schools and salons to educate.  We are excited to see that the rest of the nation is beginning to follow suit and offer this amazing service, but it’s always nice to be ahead of the curve!  

We look forward to attending and educating at many more hair shows in the future! I would like to thank Rick, Seth, Rachel, Whitney and Audra for continuing their education and bringing back to the salon the techniques that make Nico the top colorists in the state!
