Four disciplines. One foundation. SCIENCE 🔬🧪🧬🦠

From cosmetology and barbering to nails and esthetics, our Fundamentals curriculum helps future professionals understand the principles behind the services they perform every day—from how hair, skin, and nails work to how products interact with them. ✂️💈💅🧖‍♀️

Because knowing HOW to perform a service is important. Understanding WHY it works takes your skills even further.

He has 100% human hair implanted tightly along the sides and nape at the lowest possible angle, and a curly beard (4″-5″ / 5 mm curl pattern) that curves around his features.

What if your learners could learn more from your demonstration without you demonstrating more?

This week’s Teaching Tip Tuesday is the fourth part of the E.N.G.A.G.E. series—a framework for creating more intentional, engaging technical demonstrations.

This week: A — Ask Questions.

The goal isn’t to turn your demonstration into an interrogation. It’s to give learners moments to stop, think, and actively process what they’re seeing.

A simple way to remember it:

CHECK — Are they following?

PREDICT — What happens next?

NOTICE — What do they see?

EXPLAIN — Why did that happen?

The goal isn’t to make your demonstration longer.

It’s to make your learners more active participants in it.

💬 Which type of question could you incorporate into your next demonstration?

Next week: G — Guide the Way.

🤝 Share this with an educator who wants to create more engaging demonstrations.

🗽 New York, we’re bringing the professional beauty community together during Climate Week NYC.

On September 23, the Green Beauty Community Foundation will convene beauty professionals, educators, sustainability leaders and some of the industry’s leading organizations at amika’s Brooklyn headquarters around one important question:

Who are you sustainable for?

The afternoon will combine technical education, hands-on sustainability activations and an honest industry conversation about waste, responsible sourcing, clean chemistry, salon operations, education and what it will take to move professional beauty forward — followed by a rooftop networking reception.

This isn’t one company’s sustainability story. It’s what becomes possible when our industry works together.

Proud to bring this event to life with:
amika + amikapro
Ulta Beauty
Paul Mitchell + Paul Mitchell Professional
Innersense Organic Beauty + Innersense Pro
Green Circle Salons
Pivot Point International
Sustain Beauty Co
Green Beauty Community

📍 Brooklyn, New York
📅 Wednesday, September 23
🌎 Climate Week NYC

A little hair styling. A lot of father-daughter bonding. 🎀🍻

What started as a simple idea in a local pub has grown into something pretty special. Pints & Ponytails, created by Slod Pod, is helping fathers build the skills and confidence to style their daughters’ hair—from ponytails and plaits to braids, buns and beyond.

We’re proud to play a small part by providing Pivot Point mannequins with a variety of hair types, textures and lengths, giving dads a realistic way to learn, practice and build confidence before putting their new skills to use at home.

Because sometimes learning something new is about much more than what you can do. It’s about connection, confidence and showing up for the everyday moments that matter. ❤️

Read the full story and see how Pints & Ponytails is bringing dads and daughters closer, one hairstyle at a time. 👇
