Breakfast with Nicholas
I recently had the opportunity to attend a class taught by the amazing and successful stylist Nicholas French. For those of you who are unaware of the 2 time NAHA winning and multi talented stylist I suggest you look him up. www.nicholasfrench.com click on the "About Nicholas French" section. His work will leave you as breathless as I was sitting amoung the class of 30 aspiring stylists wondering just how he made some of the most difficult things look so amazing and easy. Since I started at Taylor Andrews I have had so many great experiences and I have met some really amazing people and it is great to see just how appreachable, willing to help, caring, passionate, hardworking, and patient all these amazing stylists are. Nicholas spent the time showing us techniques and diffrent ideas when styling hair and then gave us a manaquin head and turned us loose. I only took me minutes of trying to recreate his styles to figure out why he is as successful as he is. I restarted several times what he had acheived in only minutes. After I had finally got my base Nicholas took time one on one with each of us showing, teaching, and fixing what we had created, and then allowing us to run wild with our creativity and achieving what im sure most of us had never thought we could ever accomplish. After we were done he then took time to critic our work and elaborate on what we had created. He gave us his advise and bragged about the things we had done that he liked. Standing in front of a class with Nicholas criticing my styling was abit intimidateing but when it was all over I left feeling like I could take on the world. I will never forget my experience and my learning opportunity with Nicholas French how he made me feel accomplished, creative and successful. He is such a caring and compassionate man full of so much talent and creativity. Breakfast with Nicholas has to be one of the best learning experience I have had so far. Are you Jealous?
