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!!
