COST $195 | 40 Students Max

Sherry Ratay

This 90s hairstyle is making a comeback, and for a good reason.

If the term "chunky highlights" & “Money Piece” conjures some rather nightmarish memories of the late nineties when it seemed that striped hair was all the rage… you're not alone. The term itself doesn't exactly sound incredibly appealing. But there's a reason chunky highlights are making a triumphant return in 2023, and it's all about the technique. We will discuss WHY the 90's are trending and pin point the artist and celebrities' that are the trend setters from the 90's. As well as how you can transition this trend to your daily clients that sit in your chair.

Sherry Ratay is an internationally-acclaimed, celebrity colorist, Joico commercially artistic colorist, award-winning color expert and salon owner.

Provide hair loss services that blends state-of-the-art with fine art; restore clients natural appearance & lives! Does 4 clients a week generating $200K/yr appeal to you? Learn what clients need, earn your worth and soar above others in the Hair Loss Industry!

Stephanie Anderson is the resident Trichologist of Trinity Lace Wigs & Unisex Salon, a Hair Treatment Center and wig store located in San Antonio, Texas. Stephanie received an AAS in Legal Studies from Rose State College, BS in Business Management from the University of Phoenix, DPC and MPC in Professional Cosmetology from the Institute of Cosmetology. She is certified in various disciplines, including Natural Health, Medical Hair Loss, Trichology and Non-Surgical Hair Replacement.

Stephanie’s establishment was created to offer hair restoration services in addition to exclusive hair replacement with cranial prosthetics for men, women and children who suffer from hair loss. These specialized services are sought out by those clients who are battling cancer and undergoing the rigors of chemotherapy; as well as those who suffer from other forms of hair loss. Her secret to success is her genuine concern for those who lose their hair to medically related issues; including cancer, immune deficiencies, alopecia, heredity, etc.

In her practice, Stephanie has three principles of treatment that she adheres to while servicing clients who are experiencing hair and scalp maladies: 1) STOPPING active hair fall out, 2) restoring lost hair 3) and if 1 and 2 are not viable options, customizing realistic hair replacement for them. She is determined to help others with mild to moderate hair concerns correct, restore and maximize their potential for healthier, longer and stronger hair.

Trinity Lace Wigs began as an internet enterprise that quickly led to a brick-and-mortar business due to the growing demand for Stephanie’s services. She quickly recognized the need to not only to be able to provide her expanding clientele quality, affordable and realistic hair; but to also utilize professional services. These include application, maintenance and care after the sale of a hair unit. If the medical grade adhesives and tapes used in providing these services are not used responsibly, more harm than good can be done to the client. This inspired the need to teach proper methods and professional standards as The Hair Replacement Coach.

She is the author of “Alopecia, It’s a Thing! Breaking Through the B.S. (Belief Systems). Mrs. Anderson is the host of The Mane Health Show; a community-based show filmed in San Antonio, TX.
