Learn a host of valuable information to take back home to your shop or salon by hearing from the following Booksy Ambassadors, who are ready to enhance and elevate your career:

Alfredo Lewis

We're inviting hair stylists and colorists to take part in this unique educational experience. Award-winning stylist and colorist Alfredo Lewis will demonstrate the following four four top balayage techniques: French balayage, two-pointed, three-pointed, and air touch balayage. 

After dedicating more than 25 years of his life to the industry, Alfredo has a long list of achievements. Some of those include working with A-list celebrities such as Adriana Lima and Jane Fonda. And that means it’s important to hear technical advice from the VP of Global Education at L'Oréal Matrix, who relishes in the idea of creating a space for artists to share, connect, and inspire.

BARBER Arod 

If there’s an uncrowned king in the world of all things barbering and grooming—then his name is Barber AROD. Grooming experts should get ready to hear from this industry juggernaut with over 2 million Instagram followers. Arod works closely with Booksy and Wahl, while promoting L3VEL3 grooming and skincare products, a line that he co-founded. 

Barber AROD has one of the strongest reputations in the industry. And that’s in part because he wants to help industry pros level up. For anyone ready to take their career to the next level, now’s the time. AROD represents a rare breed of barbers. He's able to fully comprehend the importance of being an entrepreneur, while showcasing master level styling techniques at every opportunity.

Taylor Leven

During the pandemic, Taylor Leven made a bold move to open her own barbershop. Ever since that moment, she has been confidently and casually inviting guests inside her gender neutral space. Loyal clients and newcomers alike both view the shop as a safe space where staffers pride themselves on promoting inclusivity and celebrating different cultures. 

Her simple yet essential goal has always been and continues to be connecting people through her greatest joy and life’s passion—styling hair. Listen and learn from this female barber who took a unique path as a shop owner and educator. And don’t forget that her undeniable talent with a camera helped her showcase her work. And a long list of regulars continue to demand her work.

Chrissy Collins 

Chrissy Collins has spent over a decade behind the chair creating some of the most stylish curls that Chicago residents have ever seen. She has a strong background in natural curly hair styling, barbering, and coloring. But she also has a strong passion for sharing industry knowledge. Additionally, she believes in spreading a positive mindset, especially when it comes to all things hair.

Over the years, Chrissy evolved into a current role as a texture educator. That means she has spent countless hours traveling spreading industry knowledge. In particular, she loves helping stylists create care-free, touchable curls that express the individuality of each client and their locs. For Chrissy, being in the industry is all about self-expression and self-love. 

Yakuza Barber

Kevin Nguyen is the award-winning grooming expert who’s better known as the Yakuza Barber. And at this point in his career, Kevin has absolutely mastered the art of creating a fade. He combines that knowledge with a distinct method of layering using shears along with clippers. Experts say that technique gives his work a unique style that barbers won’t want to miss. 

Hearing from this fresh, trend-setter and lead educator for Wahl means learning from a perfectionist. Being such a seasoned educator lets Kevin truly connect with both industry newcomers, as well as experienced groomers—so long as the goal is to provide the absolute freshest of cuts and relaxing grooming services for clients.
