A week of inspiration at Alex Emilio Salon

This week, our team had the opportunity to train with two exceptional hairdressers and educators, Cole Thompson and Jay Mahmood. Both built their careers with Vidal Sassoon in the UK, bringing years of precision cutting and teaching experience to their classes.

Half of our staff attended Cole Thompson’s class, where each stylist chose a haircut they wanted to learn or perfect. Originally from Manchester, England, Cole became a creative director at Vidal Sassoon before taking his passion for education around the world. His class gave our stylists the opportunity to hone their skills through personalized, hands-on learning.

The other half worked with Jay Mahmood, an Alex Emilio Salon favorite! Jay began his career at Vidal Sassoon in London and went on to lead and educate other hairdressers. Our team focused on refining bobs, perfecting clean lines, and paying attention to the little details that make a beautiful haircut.

We’re always learning, growing, and investing in our team so we can bring fresh inspiration and even stronger skills back to our clients.

Thank you, Cole and Jay, for an inspiring week!
