"I see the Up Close with Nick seminar as a chance for myself to exchange, practice, and discuss business building ideas and creative cutting techniques with fellow hairdressers. On the first day, I present advanced scissor and razor cutting demos that feature techniques developed and practiced in my studio. Then, in the afternoon, you have the chance to practice these techniques in a mannequin workshop that I supervise myself. Day one ends with a team dinner, so we can gather round, review what we've done, share more thoughts and ideas, have fun, relax, and prepare for day two. On day two, I switch gears and talk about how I run my business and the things I do to ensure continued success.
The November seminar is extra special as Jerry and Karen Gordon have accepted an invitation to facilitate the class with me. Their salon, J. Gordon Designs, Chicago, has received national and international acclaim for the quality and innovation of its hairstyling, and its business practices. Between us, we'll highlight creative cutting techniques and ways to initiate growth in your own salon. We'll share proven practices from our own salons and encourage attendees to give their own insights so we can all learn practices that increase productivity and profitability, in the salon, from day to day. It's sure to be a great seminar, leaving you inspired and motivated. You can also read short biography's for Jerry and Karen Gordon at the bottom of this email." - Nick Arrojo
