Celebrating Women's History Month

Tippi Shorter is the Global Artistic Director specializing in textured hair for Aveda. She is inspiring and passionate about what she does. She lights a fire in my heart that makes me want to style for the goddesses of the world like she does every day. Shorter has graced the stage at New York Fashion Week, Congress (An Aveda international conference held once a year), and the Mid-America Show showing off her skills and teaching us some tips and tricks to improve our craft as hairdressers.
“Tippi is instrumental in the development of curriculum and training for textured and curly hair. Her work has graced beauty icons and the covers and editorial pages of notable fashion magazines.” (Aveda Detail Page, Tippi Short.)

Geason has worked her magic most notably at New York Fashion Week, the spring/summer collection: Rare Bloom from Aveda, as well as the autumn/winter collection: Sublime Spirit; also from Aveda.
“Janell is closely involved in product development of seasonal makeup collections f
