Meet Abby Ealy, April Educator of the Month

Abby Ealy, Owner of Salon Belleza and Brazilian Professionals National Educator, has a huge passion for the industry, which is why we’ve chosen her as Premier Beauty’s April Educator of the Month!

Why do you prefer using b3 over the other bond products out there?

I prefer b3 because its anhydrous, meaning there’s no added processing time. I’m busy in the salon, so I don’t have an extra 15 minutes to process. You can add b3 to all color services, including perms.
 
What do you stress to class attendees regarding proper after care following a Brazilian Blowout treatment?

Brazilian Blowout after care is a must with every Brazilian Blowout. The Acai Anti-Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner is their insurance policy to prolong and protect their Brazilian Blowout, giving them smooth, shiny, healthy hair up to 12 weeks.
 
Since you’re acting as an educator/mentor to other stylists, who was your mentor and how did they influence your career?

In 18 years of doing hair, there are so many mentors I have encountered throughout the years. I feel like I’ve really grown and become a better educator with their guidance. In the six years since I’ve been with Brazilian Blowout, they’ve really grown into such an amazing company. We all say we’re a family and it’s nice that I can reach out to any other educators in the country and everyone’s willing to help each other.

Midwest Regional Education Manager, Dahlia Misho, has helped me grow and has guided me in the right direction. Any question I have, I always ask her!

What’s your favorite motto?

“Educate your life.” I think you can always grow as a hairdresser. There are always new techniques you can learn in hairdressing.

Over the years, something that’s stuck with me is the importance of passion. You should have a strong passion for this industry. I love learning new things.

What are you excited for the most with the launch of the new Ionic Cleanser?

The spray replaces the Anti-Residue Shampoo and is a next-generation cleansing system that preps the hair and optimizes the performance and longevity of a Brazilian Blowout in just one wash.

I love it because it cuts down the time from a 90-minute service to an 80-minute service. It removes more of the buildup on the hair, resulting in a better Brazilian Blowout.
