Bumble and bumble Network Educators


Allyson Abbey Erin

DO YOU HAVE A Bumble and bumble product question?

We have the experts!

Allyson, Abbey and Erin have attended the Network Educator's Program in New York City at Bumble and bumble University. This program is for stylists who are committed to becoming leaders within their salons and in the industry. At Colour Line we refer to them as our Bb Network Educators.

Hairdressers at the height of their careers are often left wondering: “What’s next?” Rather than burn out, as many do, teaching is a way to shine on. But teaching well doesn’t necessarily come naturally and is a skill in itself. Becoming a Bb.Network Educator allows key stylists to learn how to translate dedication, passion and expertise to other members of the salon team. Our Bb Network educators hold bi-monthly educational meetings within our salon as well as meet on a regular basis with our Regional Director on product trends. The team of Educators will also be enjoying the annual conference in Chicago on September 2, 2010 along with other Midwest educators.

So we say to you.... if you have a question, we have the experts! Feel free to e-mail your questions to info@colourlinehairstudio.com. One of our salon experts will e-mail you back!

Watch for product of the month selected personally by our Bb Network Educators... they will offer you the tips and cocktail (one or more Bb product combinations) blends you will enjoy!

Help for the Gulf Oil Spill!

(photo provided by Matter of Trust)

GREASY HAIR MEANS HAIR COLLECTS OIL!

YOUR haircut's a life saver!

Your hair is recycled into mats that naturally collect oil spills from the oceans.

VIDEO: HAIR SOAKS UP OIL


Colour Line will join with Matter of Trust (http://www.matteroftrust.org/) in the relief efforts of the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill. Matter of Trust is an ecological public 501 c 3 charity established in 1998. Salons across the US, Canada and beyond support their Hair Mat Oil Spill Program which was developed by Phil McCrory, a hair stylist from Alabama. He observed that the fur on Alaskan otters were completely soaked with oil while watching CNN coverage on the 1989 Exxon Valdez Oil spill. He began testing how much oil he could collect with hair clippings from his salon and then invented the hair mat, which has other uses, including fertilizer. Colour Line will begin sweeping up our hair clippings and forwarding to US manufacturers who weave them into mats that can soak up oil.
We also ask for your support by bringing in your washed, used (even with runs) nylon stockings. The stockings are used to make hair "booms" which are sausage shaped. Hair is stuffed into recycled nylons (with mesh to provide a strong exterior). These booms are tied together and used to encircle and contain oil spills to keep oil from spreading.
A special THANK YOU to Debi and Margaret (guests of Colour Line) for bringing this information to Colour Line. We are very appreciative and look forward to playing an important role in the Gulf Oil Relief Efforts.
Coming soon to Colour Line will be a sample hair mat and hair boom which will be placed on display. Thank you for your continued patronage. Its because of YOU that we can ALL help!

APRIL PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT - Bb Surf Spray

Bumble and bumble Network Educator Erin is recommending Surf Spray....

WHAT: Surf spray gives hair body, texture and lift. Its great for wavy hair and also enhances a "sexy" beachy look.

WHY: Hair that is fine will be ehanced with body. Surf Spray gives a matte finish.

WHEN: Use either to give body to the hair when straight or enhance waves on a summer day.

HOW: Straight hair: 2 sprays in wet hair - dry - then spray a little at root area and re-dry hair.
Curly or wavy hair: spray into hair after towel dry and let your hair air dry or difuse with blow dryer.

Cocktail fun:
  • Surf Spray + Grooming Creme = beachy hair; Grooming creme helps surf spray to adhere to the hair. You can spray Surf Spray and then use grooming creme to "rope" the hair and then allow hair to air dry. A great beachy look is achieved.
  • Suf Spray + Thickening Spray = lots of body and hold to fine hair
If you have any questions, call Colour Line at 630-208-8100 and ask for Erin. She would be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the Bumble and bumble Surf Spray or any other of the Bumble and bumble hair care products.
