Faatemah Ampey Provides Backstage Secrets to ‘Editorial Swag’

 

Faatemah Ampey’s got the editorial cred that only a multi-winner of the North American Hairstyling Awards, photo session master and Shear Genius star can carry, so when she speaks, stylists listen. That’s why FHI Heat was delighted to sponsor her Runway Presentation and “Editorial Swag” classroom at the International Salon & Spa Expo Midwest in Rosemont, IL

 

On the runway, Faatemah shared editorial secrets and debuted her new technique for creating marcel-inspired waves with the FHI Heat Flat Iron. (Check back here for more on that soon!) She also shared her tips for photo session success, including preparation is a must, a positive attitude is the best tool you can own, create storyboards to share your vision with your team and get on the same page, train your eye to see the details and choose a great model.

 

“Having passion and determination is only half the battle,” she says. “Learn the basics, perfect them and reinvent the wheel!”
