14 • THE ARTISAN FALL 2022 CRAFT EDUCATION Hair Craft Education Classes We have the outstanding opportunity of engaging our talented Local 706 members and wonderful beauty-oriented companies and sharing this with our 706 hair artist community. Every member has a skill that another member could benefit from, keeping Local 706 members at the forefront of designing, styling, and applying hair to our talent. This helps us create characters that live on. On May 15, 2022, we hosted an amazing class at the Elks Lodge in Burbank. This first in-person/virtual class of 2022 was a great success, due to our generous volunteers. The tech committee worked hard and made it happen for all who wished to attend. Thank you to every one of you from the bottom of our hearts. Yunea Cruz was our first artist, demonstrating quick hair styles on textured hair. She explained how to get a smooth ponytail and using an edge brush/comb by Wet. She styled the edges and achieved a finished look. Yunea discussed how to plan your looks, according to productions' shooting schedule. She recommends styling with strategy so you can layer, also suggesting prepping ahead of time to keep styling quick. Yunea is a guild award-winning artist and her background includes six years as a Sebastian Design educator. Cheryl Eckert pulled out all the stops and taught us how to do a chignon in three minutes that will last all day. She showed us how to use a hair pad to build the hair and how to use bungee bands and elastics with bobby pins to anchor those quick styles that won't move. Cheryl explained how to make our jobs easier by sending thorough information to casting with a request that complete instructions are forwarded to cast and background artists. Cheryl is a multi-nominated Emmy and Guild Award winner. She is always on the edge of the latest technology and styling techniques. PRETTYPARTY came and showed us how to use their amazing and unique hair extensions, demonstrating a quick and stunning ponytail for addition to any hair style. High or B Y J A N I K L E I N B A R D & B R E N D A B L A T T low, braids or buns, as creative as you like. Together with PRETTYPARTY and your imagination, the sky's the limit. The hair is the highest quality Japanese and Korean fibers and custom color mix, heat-friendly to 320 degrees. Sapphire Harris is a trainee hair stylist and wigmaker. Sapphire introduced us to her line of Hair Growth Product Collection by Sapphire. The oil potion smells fantastic, leaving the hair and scalp feeling alive and nurtured! We were fortunate to have so many tremendous companies donate, so our goody bags and raffles were fabulous! PRETTYPARTY, CHI, Has, Biosilk, sk*p, Ready Set Go.Pro, Hair by Sapphire all made contributions. Remember, tagging on social media is a great way to show our appreciation. And of course, using, sharing, and talking about the products goes without saying. What we learned: Quick hair styles need a plan • Know your looks, style, period • Have everything prepped before, this will cut time • Have your supplies and tools ready and make sure everyone knows the looks you are planning to achieve • Use your phone for vision boards and shared albums • Make sure talent and background understand how to prep their hair. Explain it and even send a diagram with instructions We look forward to our July, September, and December classes!
