Eddie Spaghetti Exhibit

Locally known artist, Eddie Maier “Eddie Spaghetti”, is now exhibiting his work in one of the many galleries at Nico Spalon. Eddie’s works are one of a kind as he utilizes oil painted woodblock printmaking. Learning his technique while in Australia, he carves slabs of wood, inks the surface, and then uses the inked block to print onto handmade paper. Nature is his biggest inspiration for his works, pulling from European, American, and West African regions. Eddie says that by creating such natural works, he feels he can get closer to the spirit that moves through all things.

Here is what people are saying about Eddie’s Art:

“Saw your artwork in Pittsburgh this past weekend and was really astounded by it. Seeing your art made me feel great for the rest of that day. and the positive energy emanating from your it has been with me since. I can only hope that more people have an opportunity to discover your art and experience it in the same wonderful way I did. “

“was great to meet you at the Jubilee this past weekend- hope that it was a successful event for you your work is really awesome- your imagery and the medium are such a perfect match.”

So come and check out the Eddie Spaghetti Exhibit and others at Nico Spalon!

Recently, Nico Spalon sent three of its stylist to the International Beauty Show in New York City. The IBS is one of the largest of its kind in the US. The IBS brings together vendors, designers, and stylists and creates an environment of mutual creativity and inspiration. Rick, Whitney and Rachel were able to witness, first-hand, the emerging styles and trends of 2010. Education is one of Nico Spalon’s top priorities, and we commend our three stylists for seizing the opportunity to better themselves and their artistry.

March 14, 2010 – The Nico Academy

Sunday marked the first official class of the Nico Academy. Our class was focused on the Copolla Keratin Therapy Smoothing System. Many of the stylists in the tri-state area were in attendance. We had three models volunteer for the experience, and all three models hair came out flawless. Smooth, silky and shiny. We recommend this service to anyone with curly hair that wants smooth hair. Or damaged hair that needs to be brought back to life. All participants in the class earned 3 continuing education hours. The class was taught by Nico Instructors: Rick Stache, Seth Gartin, Rachel Harman, Audra Mayhew and Whitney Cayton.

The class was offered through Twin State Salon Supply. We would like to thank them for their continued support.

The goal of the Nico Academy is to provide continuing education for stylists and instructors who want to take their art and craft to the next level. The Nico Academy provides a forum and platform for stylists and educators to learn from each other and truly be technical and creative about the industry we love. “Education through motivation and innovation”.
