DJ, owner of San Diego\u2019s trendy salon theFactory, to develop the online video portion to our new barbering program launching March 17. Program leader Manny San Martin has been creating haircuts and videos with DJ for the past couple of months.Q & A with DJ MuldoonQ. You\u2019ve won multiple awards, studied under Vidal Sassoon and now run a successful salon. What\u2019s the secret to your success? A. Knowledge has given me confidence. Vidal said it takes 10 years to master you craft and I think he\u2019s right. Success doesn\u2019t come overnight. It\u2019s important to be patient, learn as much as you can and use your knowledge to empower people.Q. You\u2019re now working to develop some of the curriculum for our new barbering program. What attracted you to working with Bellus Academy?A. They\u2019re all about education\u2014not a product. I\u2019ve personally taught a lot of the educators, so I have that relationship with them. I also know the owner Lynelle is heavily involved in the charitable side of the industry, and that impresses me. I mostly wanted to work with them because my number one commitment is fundamental education and Bellus has a high level of integrity.Q. You\u2019ve mentioned you\u2019ve seen an increase in male clients at your salon, theFactory. How have you seen men\u2019s grooming transform over the course of your career?A. It\u2019s much more universal now. With social media, we\u2019re exposed to so much more. We see everything. We\u2019re seeing a generation of men who are into trendy cuts and shaving, as well as other services. There\u2019s no longer just one genre of men. It\u2019s important for hairdressers, more so now, to be well rounded.Q. I know it\u2019s still in the early stages, but can give us any insight into what your hopes are in partnering with Bellus Academy and the barbering program?A. Manny and I had been around the world doing hair. He\u2019s an exceptional haircutter. We thought it would be cool to collaborate. About a month or two ago we jumped in the studio and started to come up with about nine to 12 different male looks. I\u2019m currently editing the videos for those looks.Q. Do you think a lot of licensed cosmetologists will benefit from this program Bellus Academy is launching?A. This program is perfect for someone who is already working in the field. There is a skill set needed to serve male clients. This is such a great opportunity to build knowledge and confidence. Men are spending lots of money today on their hair. This program is a win-win. You\u2019ll come out better than when you went in."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Beauty School News","item":"https:\/\/web.bellus.qa.dev-q.com\/beauty-school-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"DJ Muldoon partners with Bellus barbering program","item":"https:\/\/web.bellus.qa.dev-q.com\/beauty-school-news\/dj-muldoon-partners-bellus-barbering-program\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
