Programs of Passion from Matrix Education Is Back

Now in its third year, the innovative Programs of Passion from Matrix Education is back with more classes, more top Matrix artists and yes, more passion for the art and craft of hairdressing than ever before.  Among the sure-to-sell-out programs this year are Matrix Celebrity Stylist George Papanikolas’s “Celebrity to Reality,” Matrix Artistic Director and NAHA Winner Nicholas’s French’s unique “Back to the Future,” and Matrix Artistic Director Dan Csicsai’s “More Than Balayage.”  Also, back by popular demand, is Matrix Artistic Director and Latina hair expert Robert Santana, with a new program entitled “B to B:  A Brunette's Journey to Lightness.”

This series of education programs allows Matrix Artistic Directors and Designers to craft unique sessions around the topics and techniques that reflect their personal passions.  They’re held in “host” salons serving as Matrix Regional Academies around the country, giving stylists a wide variety of education options in their preferred areas.

This year, the Matrix Regional Academies are:

Gemini Salon & Day Spa, Chelsea, MI
