The Comb

The disappearance of hair shows.

The real reason hair shows are disappearing is due to several factors.

First, hair product companies are no longer interested in heavily investing in education, educators, or shows, since they can already sell what they want online.

On the other hand, hairstylists believe they can "learn everything on the internet." easier and faster ,,, even if THAT IS NOT THE FORMULA TO MASTER ANY DISCIPLINE.

My first high-level show was in New York in 1985, and it was incredible to see major product brands competing to present the best new collections.

Stylists participated in international competitions, and offered private classes—sometimes with the biggest icons in the industry.

Sadly, that world is nearly gone.

That’s why I’m thrilled to see JAZ Beauty Supply hosting their own show, giving stylists the chance to participate in this event.

I congratulate my students for wanting to take part in this show, learning, and experiencing something truly unique.

THE COMB TALKS ...
Full Circle in life !!!

In 1986, I made my way to New York to witness the iconic New York International Hairshow at the Jacob Javits Center.

What an unforgettable experience! The energy was amazing , with hairstylists from every corner of the globe showcasing their cutting-edge collections and revolutionary ideas.

Working with incredible beautiful models.

One standout moment?
The phenomenal presentation by ABBA, led by none other than Alan Benfield Bush, a legend in the industry.

Fast forward 40 years, and life has come full circle.

Here we are, about to host an exclusive Facebook interview with Mr. Bush himself!

What an incredible honor to sit down with such a visionary on The Comb Talks.

This interview is more than just a conversation—it's a journey through his extraordinary life and his groundbreaking hair-cutting program, a true "MASTERPIECE IN HAIRCUTTING EDUCATION." Stylists across Latin America, from the U.S. to Argentina, will be inspired by his story and his timeless expertise. This is a must-watch interview!!

My view of the fire in California from my house.

I'M NOT YOUR BABYSITTER...

Here is my best technique to make my students to became great students !!!.

You may not like my teaching method, but it has worked for me for over 20 years.🙂

When I worked as an educator for Toni & Guy in California, I often felt frustrated when students didn’t do their work.

My teacher and mentor was James Morrison, at that time he was The International Director of Education for Toni & Guy, and he told me, "Joaquin, don’t stress over students who aren’t interested. If they don’t care now, they never will, and you’ll only harm yourself with frustration."

For over 25 years, I’ve started every class and program , having one/one meeting with my students and explain three key points with high respect for them .

1,- As your teacher, I’ll give you 100% of my heart and my knowledge (but remember, 75% of the work is on you to practice and study, not on me ).

2,- I don’t have rules in my class; I have expectations. Let’s meet them together at the highest level.

3,- I'M NOT YOUR BABYSITTER. If you don’t care about your career , I will meet you at the same level, then I don't care either.

Why this approach has led to 100% success ?

It shocks students when you talk like that but the most important it places the 100% responsibility on them.

I know I will do my 100% no question about that. I will be there on time and ready to guide them and teach them .

My students know I’m always there for them, 24/7 , they can call me or send me a video at any time or any day but they also know their success is in their hands.

Motivation dies, but NO DISCIPLINE. so
I focus on discipline, knowing that motivation will follow ,but discipline YOU MUST DO IT , NO OPTION .

My best advice: practice 10,000 times.( I'm serious about that)

Thanks to this philosophy, we’ve achieved 100% student satisfaction at THE COMB INSTITUTE.

The funny part , students love it, and even years after they finish their program they still call or text for advices.
Plus no more stress as a teacher.

Today there is a new revolution in education ,,,, but that is another topic !!!!

After more of twenty years as educator, I'm learning something new ...

Some years ago, a friend of mine who is in the hair industry told me that beauty product companies are not interested in educating stylists.

They only care about teaching them to use their products and show them some cutting and styling techniques here and there.

Yesterday, I saw the calendar of one of the largest companies worldwide, and they only had two hair cutting classes in Atlanta, each costing $500 per class.

The industry should prepare for one of the biggest revolutions in education.

Even though we see more videos on social media about haircuts and coloring techniques, the stylist will fall into a deep hole of ignorance.

This is not just due to a lack of hands-on education with an educator, but also due to a lack of understanding of the reasons behind things.

Learning faster and easier will be every day routine.

Artificial intelligence will be both a great friend and a significant ally of ignorance.

Once a response is found through AI, the learning process stops.
Why to go deeper since you have the fast answer.

Future stylists will excel in quick knowledge, often without depth.

I see it today: what was once a secret, like haircutting, now has people who are not professionals and have no experience, with 60 thousand followers on YouTube, showing how to bleach hair at home.

Welcome to the future of stylist education.

Playing with old techniques !!!

Recently I find out Makeup Artist are taking over to the hair bridal service.

This is very simple most hairstylist only want do haircuts , highlights and color.

So makeup artist who are freelancers and don't need a cosmetology license are taking over the bridal hair.

Many of the makeup artist agencies now are asking freelancers to have bridal hairstyling experience or knowledge .
