Miami Power Shoot w/ Global Hair & Fashion Group, Celebrity Stylists and More

By Nikki Baldun

I just got back from an amazing power photo shoot in one of Miami’s hottest spots with photographer Tom Carsons & production manager Rainer Lind from the Global Hair and Fashion Group. It was, how do you say, tres magnifique! Celebrity Stylist, Candy Shaw Codner, owner of Jamison Shaw Hairdressers, organized this great spring/summer power shoot with other top hairstylists. Candy was named one of the most published stylists in North America with a multitude of images appearing in nearly 100 magazines annually. Candy received the “Award of Excellence” from Intercoiffure Mondial for her outstanding contributions to the organization and was named the international “Personality of the Year”.

I assisted Coral Pleas, Master Stylist and salon owner of Cutting Loose Salon, at the photo shoot. Coral had two professional models to work with for the day, and she transformed them both from boring and stale to beautifully coiffed and textured. Coral's work will be published in the spring/summer issue of Sophisticates Hairstyle Guide and other hair magazines. My time in Miami was like walking on a dream. As I was assisting, I watched the other successful hairstylists who joined us from around the United States. They all brought with them their own great tricks of the trade. As an aspiring stylist, it was truly an honor to observe and assist the talented stylists at the photo shoot in Miami. Thank You Coral for inviting me to enjoy an amazing experience!!

Second Hand Rose Fashion Show @ Ritz-Carlton for SPARCC

On February 18th, Cutting Loose had the privilege to work with The Safe Place and Rape Crisis Center (SPARCC) at their Annual Fashion show at the Ritz Carlton. Four stylists, Jaclyn Fallon, Yvonne Armstrong, Nikki Baldun, and Cheyanne Preston, styled the hair on ten models that strutted their stuff on the run way. SPARCC hosts this annual luncheon that brings together about 2,000 ladies for a great cause. Before the lunch begins, the guests are invited to shop at the Treasure Chest. The Treasure Chest is a store sells a variety of donated items and all of the proceeds go towards funding programs for SPARCC. The models in the show wear clothes that are from the Treasure Chest, and all of the items worn are for sale after the show. The stylists at Cutting Loose prepared the models' hair prior to show time. During the show there are three wardrobe changes. Our talented stylists were put to the test, for each wardrobe change required a different hairstyle and all of this happens in 3 minutes time. The event is great fun and a great way for us at Cutting Loose to give our time and show off our work on stage.

Cutting Loose Salon's 2nd Anniversary Party!

CL's 2nd Anniversary & Grand Opening of After Hours - Photo Gallery

February 24th was a night to remember! Cutting Loose Salon celebrated our 2nd year anniversary and After Hours grand opening! We had such a great turn out (over 200 guests!). There was food on the tables, balloons filling the ceilings, and beer and wine in the shampoo bowls. Cutting Loose had a wine specialist from Urban Flats who offered wine tastings and delicious flats, chocolate delicacies from Dove Chocolate Discoveries, and appetizers from Stonewood. The designing stations were set up into raffle stations that included gift certificates and baskets from Let’s Eat, Fast’n’Fresh, Casa di Pizza, Luxury Nails, Melody’s skin and body, Lil Divas and Dudes, Fresh Market, and Ed’s tavern. We raised over $250 with all the proceeds going to the Haiti Relief Fund. The grand opening of Afterhours was bigger than we could have imagined. The guests were excited to see the new salon with a new, refreshing, and urban feel. At the designing stations, the Rising Stars and Stylists offered “Primp Before You Party” where guests could get their hair fluffed and make-up touched up. World of Beer brought three of their best beers for tastings; while Freshmarket, Sarasota Brewing Company, and Pei Wei offered delicous appetizers, treats, and coffee. At the end of the night we had one last raffle for a $100 gift card for Cutting Loose. Overall this event was truly amazing. We would love to thank all of our sponsors, vendors, and guests.

Cutting Loose Salon announces sponsorship of Most Well-coiffed pony at Sarasota Polo Club

When Coral Pleas isn’t cultivating a stable of talented and hip hair stylists and styling the manes of Sarasota’s movers and shakers, the salon owner is searching for the most well coiffed pony at Sarasota Polo Club. Coiffe is a term used to describe a style of arranging or combing the hair.

Cutting Loose will sponsor the most well coiffed pony and its player every Sunday this polo season. The salon is filled with some of Sarasota’s most talented coiffures so the tongue in cheek reference was too much fun to resist. The most well coiffed pony really is determined by his player, although there is something to be said about being the most well coiffed attendee at polo matches.

While the most well coiffed pony’s player must anticipate his opponent’s next move, the coiffures (who are now referred to as master stylists) at Cutting Loose travel multiple times a year both regionally and internationally to learn new techniques and stay ahead in the fashion game.

The sponsorship is just part of the way the successful salon is giving back to the community.
