Cindi Bindrich at Studio 890 in Brookﬁeld, Wisconsin. She taught me professionalism. She was always very professional with an outstanding clientele and 100-percent retention. She’s still a mentor to this day. During your ﬁrst years as a stylist, what was your biggest challenge? Hair color! I didn’t like it and didn’t want anything to do with it. It really got the best of me—at ﬁrst. Today, thanks to education, education and more education and Goldwell’s professional hair color products, I have the best of hair color; it’s my most important professional tool and my true artistic passion—not to mention my primary moneymaker in the salon! Tell us about a favorite client from your early days in the industry. Matt Szebini from Aerial Corporation. I gave his daughter her ﬁrst hair cut. I now highlight his daughter’s hair and she is about to go off to college. We work together closely, as he is our Aerial sales rep and his wife is still my longest running client! What has been your favorite salon industry class and why? It was a Goldwell class in 1998 at the Academy in Baltimore. There were two artists, Audrey Butler and Susan Healey. It was what inspired me to be a platform artist and I still to this day use some of the tricks and formulations they taught me. contact info >Kaycee Clark Lifestyle visionary at Dear Clark, Hair Studio, in Dallas, TX, and International Artistic Director for KMS California Who was your ﬁrst industry mentor and what did you learn from her? Zoe Harte with Toni & Guy. I learned precision haircutting, along with leadership qualities. During your ﬁrst years as a stylist, what was your biggest challenge? My biggest challenge was maintaining a clientele. I solved it by handing out my cards wherever I went socially and not being afraid to talk to people about my hair when I was out. Now that I just opened a new salon, I’m doing it all over again! The same techniques work! I walk up to people all the time and say, “I’d love to do your hair.” Tell us about a favorite client from your early days in the industry. My favorite client is Randy Smoot. He is such a nice man and was always energetic and open to changing his hair. He is still a client today, since I’ve moved back to Dallas. What has been your favorite salon industry class and why? Seeing Trevor Sorbie at Salon International. It was inspiring to see someone so different from everything else. He thinks outside the box and I found him very admirable. What is one thing that you would tell new graduates? You’re entering the best business in the world! 30 MODERN SALON’S FIRSTCHAIR SPRING 2008 Learn more @ ﬁrstchair.com http://www.kmscalifornia.com http://www.goldwellusa.com http://www.kmscalifornia.com http://www.goldwellusa.com http://www.goldwellusa.com http://goldwellusa.com http://www.kmscalifornia.com http://www.kmscalifornia.com http://firstchair.com
