What should we do for 2021?
Such a full year has certainly never happened for me before. The Quarantine, although difficult, a very productive period, since we took many decisions.
For me personally, it gave me the reason to realize one of my big goals: my own Academy!
And even a pioneering Digital Academy.
Digital Hair Academy
Starting with the “Do what I do” on the Hairdressing News platform, the Digital meeting piece came up.
That’s how I came up with the idea of online education. Online training has been an opportunity for many professionals in our field. Today it seems to be gaining ground because of its ease and immediacy.
Everyone can be retrained from the comfort of their own space. For me it was always very time consuming to have to travel to get new knowledge and ideas. It was something that was an obstacle and something I always thought about before I decided to attend a seminar.
So, this year, online education came to me. Because it’s training since it works with the logic of a workshop, it’s not a video, but academic material. Material that I teach to each trainee and they work on it.
Our Recorded Seminars are of the same logic, which have nothing to envy from Live. Directness and interaction continue to play a leading role in our philosophy. A typical example of the convenience they offer to the user is the one by one Seminars section. There, one can select one by one the courses of a module based on the schedule.
Sources of inspiration and creation
Of course, of course, there was no lack of travel. As I’ve said before, Paris is a source of inspiration for me. Such a moment of inspiration and the Tribute show. Ideas that I bring to my classes, directly from the heart of fashion.
We worked creatively on designing collections, the ‘Naturelle’ Collection, the Haute Coiffure Francaise Hellas Collection, and my own ‘Attitude’ Collection.
Of course we didn’t stop there, but we continued, with photo shoots in various concepts, especially with my favorite Chrysanthi Markogiannaki of the brand, Dantee.
This year also included live seminars with the L’Oreal Professionnel Paris Academy in Athens and Thessaloniki, alongside selected colleagues.
As I said above, online meetings are here to stay. Online presentations, interviews and Webinars for a good cause, such as that of the Hairdressers’ Association of Heraklion, in order to financially support the Smile of the Child.
A great moment for me and the Color your Power Masterclass, at the stage of the National Opera House, in collaboration with L’Oreal Professionel and Haute Coiffure Francaise Hellas. Together with Stamatis Karaiskos we brought the French collection to Greece.
Another memorable moment was my participation in Madwalk 2021, with a team of elite hairdressers, the L’Oreal Pro artists.
Creation has many forms!
I couldn’t pass up the opportunity that Hairdressing News gave me. It gave me the space to express my thoughts by writing weekly articles on their website. An occupation that scared me, but ultimately offers me an alternative outlet for creativity.
For me, the year ends with achieving another big goal, the launch of my own accessory kit for Hairdressers, designed and selected, a toolbox based on my own aesthetic and my particular artistic background.
A kit with pieces selected one by one! Pieces that awaken the imagination and creativity of anyone who starts working with them.
I want to close this year with a big thank you to those partners who stood by me, to those who believed in me and with a promise:
Next year we are going for an even better, even more creative year!
