Investing in Myself and My Career With - Vivienne Mackinder and HairDesignerTV.com

I am a team member and ambassador and for Vivienne Mackinder and HairDesigherTV.com. Being part of Vivienne's team has enriched my life and my career in so many great ways! It all began about 2 years ago when I signed up for a month’s membership with HDTV I was so excited to discover HDTV because at that time the lack of continued education for our industry was such a shame especially locally here in Kansas!  I had been in the hairstyling business for nearly 30 years and was starving for new information and new ideas. Because of all the valuable training and education that I've received from Vivienne and HairDesignerTV I am ready to go into my next 30 years as a hairstylist full of inspiration, information, creativity and confidence and I want to share it with everyone! It’s true that when we discover something really neat we just want to stand on the highest building and tell the whole world so as an Ambassador for Hair Designer TV I want to tell everyone and help motivate as many hairstylists out there who love this industry and help to stir up their passion for their career just as I was inspired by Vivienne to re-ignite the passion in my career!

~ 2012 is going to be a great year to

turn up the fire and let our passions run wild! ~

 These video clips will tell you a little about who Vivienne is and give you an idea of what Vivienne’s dream and goal is for HairdesignerTV or HDTV is.

Part One

Part of Two

If you don't believe your career is important and that it's not worth investing in then take a look at the trailers to the "Your Not Just a Hairdresser" series by Vivenne Mackinder! I have a feeling that you will change you mind and that your view will change and the value in yourself will increase ten fold!

HairDesignerTV.com and the Holland Lesson

HairDesignerTV (HDTV)  is a postgraduate, online learning and networking site for salons and stylists. World renowned hairstylist Vivienne Mackinder has condensed 30 years of her knowledge and experience into a comprehensive and highly-accessible educational series. We use streaming video, audio, animation, colorful graphics and printable lessons to demonstrate all the latest cutting trends, hair coloring techniques, dress work and more.

This is “Holland” one of the dress work styles I compleated for the

“Certification Program”with HairDesignerTV.com.

(Click the photo to see better detail)

The first row is the actual lesson that I followed. Then after I got that finished I thought I'd loosen it up a bit for a softer look. The Holland Style is a beautiful classic look that can be adjusted to fit any personality. I love the contrast of exact same style!

Have a great hair day Becci!

HairDesigner TV is SO FULL of Information!

I've spent all afternoon practicing a web site tour to present to my hair stylist friends and am studying the HairDesigner TV website so that I can become an expert on what the web site is all about. I'm doing this because I decided to join Vivienne Mackinder's team and begin training to be an Ambassador for HairDesigner TV.


Ambassador: am•bas•sa•dor /noun
/am-ˈba-sə-dər, əm-, im-, -ˌdȯr, -ˈbas-dər\
a : an authorized representative or messenger
b : an unofficial representative - traveling abroad asasambassadors of goodwill

I am more than happy to help represent and spread the word about

something I believe in and am excited about!

 I found the HDTV's on line learning program about 6 months ago.  I have looked it over, tried the membership out, did some of the lessons, interacted with some of the employees and with the art team and have thought deeply to see if this was truly a group of people who I could get behind and support.

And I'm here to tell you it certainly is!

I think this on line learning program is one of the very best I’ve ever seen and I’ve been a working hairdresser for a long time! (Email me and I’ll tell you how long).  The lessons, the inspiration, the business advice, the web shows, the documentaries and the deep personal interviews inside the minds of experts in the hairdressing field as well as the experts who are not in this field, this and so much more are priceless!

But what made up my mind and sealed the decision to join Vivienne’s

team was I believe in her message.  I admire her desire to better

our industry and to enhance our careers as hairstylists and I believe

she does it because she truly deeply cares about and loves our industry!

Anyway, back to what my original thought for this post was…
As I’m clicking around the HDTV web site, which I knew was full of great information, I realized that HairDesigner TV is packed fuller than I originally realized!  I am pleasingly shocked at how much is here! And as I’m realizing this, I have also realized that this is only the beginning of HairDesigner TV!

HairDesigner TV is so awesome! 

It’s about to explode!

Slight Body to Maximum Volume for Your Hair Style

Weather you choose to use a curling iron, a round brush & blow dryer or rollers… there is one steadfast rule of thumb to remember.


If you hold the section of hair that is to be curled at a 90 degree angle or straight out from your head no matter where your section is on your head you will get curl and volume. If you hold it at a 45 degree angle you will have curl and medium volume and if it’s held at a 0 degree angle you will have curl but no volume. Ok, say you’d like more than the 90 degree high volume. Hold that section at a 135 degree angle for higher volume or at a 180 degree angle for the highest volume. This applies to every section you‘re going to curl.

Have a great hair day!  Becci

Questions? Just ask... :-)

"Camden" haircut and style with HairDesigner TV (HDTV)

I have joined an online learning and networking site for salons and stylists with Vivienne Mackinder who is a world renowned hairstylist (and my new mentor) and has condensed 30 years of her knowledge and experience into a comprehensive educational series. Even though over the years I have done most of what is being presented in these lessons in one way or another, I'm still learning so much! Vivienne’s idea is to take us back to studying and mastering the basics. Yes, I can put someone’s hair in an up-do and it will look very good and very beautiful when I'm finished but I never have felt I was in control. I feel like I just wing it, which is really just using my intuition but I love the idea of using my intuition and being in control of not only what I’m doing but why I'm doing what I'm doing!  Even haircuts and colors can become repeatitious and I'm not thinking about what and why I'm doing what I'm doing... hummm...

In the hairdressing business styles and tastes change and rather quickly I might add! It's very important to me to keep up with these changes. Vivienne encourages us to take pictures, lots of pictures to document what we're doing. She says "the camera will be your best teacher. It will show you things you didn't see before". In this "Camden" haircut and style excercise I think I have the style done very nice but when I saw it through the lens of my camera I could see two things I didn't like. First was that the style looked a bit dated and second that I had the left side about an inch longer than the right side! ARGG!

Anyway, I'll decided to fix the length later and use my blow dryer and brush on her hair to see if that would loosen her up and update her.  This is shown in the last 1/2 of my slideshow. I am very happy with the project and I'm sure my clients will love to wear this style!

What are your thoughts? Do you see the differences between the first 4 pics and the 2nd 4 pic?

Which version would you like to wear?

I’m taking another on line workshop called

"Beyond the Color Basics"

with Julie Prichard & Chris Cozen.

(You can still join in and sign up for the workshops)

In  lesson 1 Julie and Chris are helping us to understand color relationships, mixing color and most importantly, learning and having a better understanding of the paints I have. The first thing we did was make swatches of all the colors we have onto a transparency sheet. This is only the first step of this lesson...I'll be working on finishing lesson 1 this weekend...

I have all kinds of beautiful watercolors that I’ve collected and painted with over the years but I‘ve never painted with acrylic paints until Julie came into my life with “Layer Love”. Through Julie’s classes I have begun to collect Golden Acrylic paints so my collection is small. I love Golden Paints, they are absolutely beautiful!  I'm possitive my collection will grow!

Have a great hair day!  Becci
