Catherine's training began at the College of San Mateo for hair care
hair cutting, coloring, and retexturing, and esthetology. She went
on to study make-up with Geri Cesunza and Sebastian International,
and color and cutting with Scott Cole and Linda Yodice, who is
affiliated with Paul Mitchell. She continues her cutting and coloring
education annually with the West Coast Group.
Catherine has appeared at bridal shows and fairs and was interviewed
by Modern Salon Magazine for bridal
hair
and make-up. She was responsible for the hair design for several
covers of Today's Bride Magazine between 1998- 2003 and her work continues
to appear in advertisements today.
In 1987, Catherine connected with Roger Jordan from Total Concern and
Aveda founder, Horst Rechelbacher. Her affiliation
with Horst and Friends for hair certification and color education
with Full Spectrum Color Systems for Aveda continues to this day.
Roger went to beauty school on a dare with a buddy from the Air
Force. Encouraged to enter the competitive styling, Roger quickly
won the NACC Award for Evening Styling, the Northern California
Championship for Haircutting, and first place in show in the
Hair Cutting Competition.
Roger
has studied technique in London, Paris, and Germany, working
with TONI&GUY, Sir Robert Cleg, Dwight Miller, YOSH, Pivot Point,
the Sassoon Institute in London, and Michael Effler, with whom
he opened the Hair Cut Company in the early 70's.
Contacted by The Aveda Corp to engage in an Aveda Concept
Salon, Roger joined forces with Catherine to open the first Total
Concern salon in 1987. He continues his education with Aveda and
Horst and Friends International.
