HUGO URIAS PROVIDES HANDS ON WORKSHOP TO STAFF AT JERILYN AND COMPANY HAIR COLOR DESIGN Hugo Urias recently provided a hands-on workshop at Jerilyn and Company Hair Color Design. Urias has been a Redken instructor for the past 12 year and has worked on the sets of Model Latina and America’s Next Top Model. Urias is a current instructor in advanced cutting at the Redken Exchange Academy in New York on 5th Avenue. Jerilyn Guiss, who has owned and operated Jerilyn and Company for over 25 years in Newport provides workshops and other educational opportunities for her staff on an annual basis.  She believes in providing her stylists the opportunity to define, manage, & expedite their own career growth in the beauty industry. Jerilyn said that, “as a stylist provides increasingly better customer service they will naturally find themselves in higher demand. It’s a win –win for the customer, the stylist, and the salon." Hugo’s down to earth and approachable teaching style makes his classes and workshops easy to understand. He challenges himself and his students to utilize a different approach through focused hands-on training. This has led him to educating stylists and educators across the country, as well as internationally. Jerilyn said that Hugo “has a uniqueness about him that is very inspiring. It’s hard to put into words his unique teaching ability.  Our staff walked away from the workshop with definite techniques that will enhance the services they provide each of our customers.”  Urias gave the stylists at Jerilyn and Company many new ideas, including tricks on how to make customers blow drying experience easier for themselves and new techniques on how to make “bobs” more versatile so they can wear them one way by day & another way by night. Jerilyn and Company, stylist, Grace Huffman, said “I enjoyed that he gave us great new ideas to incorporate into our daily routines.  At times I have struggled with up styling, so I really thank Hugo for giving me some great ideas that are simple yet, amazing. I hope Jerilyn has him come back again!”
