Sam Villa ArTeam Member, Jesse Linares @jesse.linares, is bringing his upbeat and motivating teaching style to the Sam Villa’s SkillsUP Student Training. His first class will be on February 17th, he and Sam Villa, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Sam Villa and Global Artistic Ambassador for Redken, will teach “The ABC’s of Haircutting.” To join SkillsUp on February 17th, schools can register here.
“Jesse has such a unique and fresh approach to education. He knows how to connect with younger hairdressers to engage them to dive deep into skill development and apply new techniques at the chair,” says Villa. “He’s a great addition to the SkillsUP program and I’m excited to be teaching alongside of him and know the students are going to love him.”
“What we learn in our first year as a
hairdresser forms career-long habits and practices. I’m beyond excited to be
joining SkillsUp and sharing what I’ve learned with students! A full-time
hairdresser for seventeen years, and platform artist for fifteen – I’ve done
hair in every situation imaginable. I’ve made every mistake that can be made in
the salon, on stage, and in the classroom. I can’t wait to share salon-based
concepts and techniques – what to do, and what NOT to do. Life at the
chair is full of lessons and humor, so be ready to laugh with me (or at me), as
we explore together what it means to be a hairdresser,” says Linares.
