They told us not to, we did it anyway. That’s the theme of our first-ever edition of PRINTED by TheTease.com. With countless hours of hard work, the talent of dedicated individuals, each inspiring salon voice, and of course, you readers out there, it’s finally here, and it’s better than we ever imagined.
PRINTED is a visually rich, biannual print magazine spotlighting innovative voices and trends shaping the future of professional beauty. Each addition serves as a time capsule of current trends, beauty practices, and the hottest tips and tricks.
On this episode of Volume Up by The Tease, hosts Kelly Ehlers and Jeffrey Lunnen decided to do something new! Kelly interviewed Jeff as the Editor-In-Chief of PRINTED to learn all about the magazine. For example, they dove into creating each unique article and the choices behind the medium’s bold theme.
“We believe that beauty deserves better than what is currently being offered up. We believe that the salon professional deserves thoughtful reporting on the issues that actually matter to their careers and to their communities. PRINTED gives you and us the space to do that,” said Jeff.
Inside PRINTED, you’ll find Q&A’s with stylists like Anissa Salazar and Keya Neal. Each article highlights the artist and what moves them. For Anissa, we learned that her Mexican-American identity and cultural pride were both important factors in building her brand, Tecuane Hair.
In addition, the magazine features Kit Checks with notable celebrity stylists like Rena Calhoun, Donni Davy, and Nikki La Rose. We know what it’s like to fall in love with a new product. The editors hope you take their recommendations as a love letter from us to you.
“I hope our audience that’s out there enjoys it as much as we did getting it together for all of you. We hope that it’s under coffee tables, at your stations, in the break room, and that it pops up at trade shows,” said Jeff. He hopes that all the readers and listeners out there will leave feeling inspired and pleased with every page turn.
