At the heart of everything, Redken loves to give stylists the tools to “Learn Better, Earn Better, and Live Best.” Their latest launch – Redken Styling Society is a dose of inspiration that is sure to give stylists and clients endless motivation. This exclusive collective is a unique group of Redken Artists and Educators that were chosen based on their excellence in existing content creation and styling skills. As a part of their membership, these 11 stylists will receive custom swag, exclusive brand opportunities and a first look at Redken’s newest styling products. In return, they’ll post all of their exciting Redken styling news, finished looks, and exclusive moments utilizing #RedkenStylingSociety. This gives their followers a unique perspective and personalized posts around all of Redken’s latest releases.

 

We caught up with a few of the Redken Styling Society Artists to see what they were excited about most!

“Redken’s Styling Society is a small community of Redken artists and stylists from all over; chosen based on content and credentials. We come together and choose products to feature and create new looks and educational content with. We also help and boost each other’s posts and support each other’s work online and offline.” – Laura Frazier

I’m so excited to be able to talk hair with clients and professionals on such a cool platform that’s inclusive of everyone!” – Heather King-Labeur

"Being part of the Redken Styling Society gets me excited to bring knowledge on our stylers for stylist behind the chair and clients who style their hair at home. We have a wide array of stylers and are always innovating, which is why I want to help open new avenues on how to use them to become Redken Obsessed!" – Karla Valenzuela
