ScissorBoy featured in online magaz...

Posted at 9:19 AM • No Comments

ScissorBoy.com – your favorite website for online cosmetology education was recently featured in an online magazine – Beauty Link. The magazine provided a review of the site done by the Cosmetology Educators of America (CEA) Committee Members.

Click here to read the review

The American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS) and the Cosmetology Educators of America (CEA) are dedicated to developing cosmetology, beauty and wellness as a career of choice through the professional education of beauty students, beauty educators and beauty school owners/administrators throughout the world.

The cosmetology industry is an interesting industry to work in. To produce better professionals and provide quality online cosmetology education, ScissorBoy had partnered with The American Association of Cosmetology Schools (AACS) a few months ago.

ScissorBoy’s online cosmetology program releases a new episode every Monday, featuring top stylists in salons all over the world showcasing their best and latest techniques. Each episode is available for viewing directly from AACS/CEA website – www.beautyschools.org

Here is what CEA committee members had to say about the site:

Kim McIntosh, Xenon International Academy
One strength I noticed is that students would be able to print out the transcript from the video. A transcript that students can refer back to is a valuable tool for them

Debra LeGrand, LeGrand Institute of Cosmetology
I am a practiciing hairdresser as well as school owner. I tuned in to ScissorBoy and there were three videos, so I watched two, and I really liked them. One was Paulo Candido and the other was ‘Healthy Posture for Stylists’ given by Aaron Parnell. He gave exercise techniques for tired and hurting hands, arms, backs and necks. I tried them as I watched and was amazed at how my neck felt.

Kim Schottler, Great Clips
Some individuals in my office watched the Halo section video. They think it’s a very cool website to get some quick information for an experienced stylist.

Shear Genius Season 3 loses its you...

Posted at 4:01 AM • No Comments

Bravo’s creative hair-styling competition series Shear Genius saw the elimination of another stylist in Episode 5. Amy Michleb from Toronto, Canada was eased off as she could not impress the judges during the elimination challenge.

Amy is a young and dynamic stylist who is actively involved in the hair industry. She was the youngest stylist on Shear Genius season 3 which has gone international for the first time. Her elimination means that the competition is over for the youngest competitor.

The elimination challenge on Episode 5 of Shear Genius 3 was that the women will be styled in 1940’s hairstyles of finger waves and pin curls. The guest judge was Robert Vetica, a Hollywood hairstylist.

The stylists were given a challenge in which their models had husbands who were all currently serving in the military overseas. Their hair had to be given a 1940s style so that the women looked beautiful when they filmed messages to their men.

Amy, April and Janine found themselves among the bottom three as judges gave their verdict. Amy struggled because her hairstyle was turning 1930’s depression era. The judges came down on Amy, telling her that it wasn’t a style, it was a set, and that led to her elimination from Shear Genius season 3.

Amy’s husband – Woody Michleb, an award winning stylist himself was featured on ScissorBoy’s cosmetology program. In that episode, he demonstrated new hairstyling trends for Fall/Winter 2009.

After Amy’s elimination from Shear Genius 3, there are seven stylists who will now compete for the ultimate prize of $100,000 and prove they are the best of the bunch.
