A Word From Kevin Luchmun

Multi-award-winning hairdresser, photographer, and founder of Luchmun Studios, Kevin Luchmun, is opening Sunday’s Masterclasses schedule. He shared his excitement about welcoming our winner backstage:

"Education is all about breaking down barriers and sharing genuine knowledge. I can't wait to welcome the lucky backstage pass winner into our space behind the scenes before we hit the stage. Showing them the real, raw prep, discussing the looks up close, and answering their questions one-on-one is going to make the session extra special."

— Kevin Luchmun, Educator & Founder of Luchmun Studios
