I know it has been quite some time since the last post. Of course I have been extremely busy as always. But I did want to share what has been going on this year. After my last post about the Nicholas French class, we were given an amazing opportunity to have one student from each Taylor Andrews Academy help Nicholas French prep his models for a hairshow during the North American Hairstyling Awards in Las Vegas. Here in St George we decided to do a Hairstyling Competition to pick the student. We had five outside judges from local salons, and the students put together some amazingly creative looks. Here are some pictures from the competition.
Then in July we all traveled down to Las Vegas for the North American Hairstyling Awards. Each year our group just gets bigger and bigger. We had about 250 Taylor Andrews’s students and staff attending. We were the biggest group there. Unfortunately we did not have any nominations, but we sure did have a great time meeting some of the biggest names in the industry. Here is a group picture of staff.
In August we had a team building park day. Which is always such a fun and exciting thing to do. Here are some pictures of the students.
In September we had the pleasure of attending a class at the West Jordan school with Phillip Wilson. He teaches the incredible style of cutting called free form. I had some of my instructors there to take a two day hands on class. Here are some pictures from that.
Towards the end of September we had our first opportunity to have a class with one of the most amazing photographers in the country, Babak. He did a two day class along with Keith Bryce (former designer from Project Runway) about how to put together and execute a photo shoot. Where they did two different NAHA (North American Hairstyling Awards) photo shoots. Here are some pictures from the first shoot.
In early October Jim (my husband and co-owner) and Cassi (Artistic Director) ran the St George City Marathon. The students all went to cheer him and Cassi on.
The next week Larry came down to St George and we played Spy Games. Taylor Andrew’s version of the Amazing Race. What a fun time we had, and we have some pictures.
Late October we had an amazing guest visit the St George school. Faatemah Ampey the winner of Fashion Forward category at the North American Hairstyling Awards. She was very inspiring and so much fun, we can't wait to have her visit again.
Wow what a fun and exciting year we had! I cannot wait until 2010, we have got a great year ahead of us!
