➻ ONE TO WATCH DANIEL RUBIN has only been in the beauty industry for six years, but he's already making a name for himself. Te 31-year-old Pivot Point grad worked at Sassoon in Chicago before becoming Color Director at Dennis Bartolomei Salon and an educator for Goldwell U.S. Last year he was a national winner in the Partner Category and placed in the top five globally at Goldwell ColorZoom. In his five-year plan: to take home a NAHA award for color. While color is his passion, Rubin likes the fact that at Goldwell the focus isn't just on color but hair design: cut, color and finishing. John Simpson, who met Rubin at a trade show three years ago, has become a mentor. "He introduced me to the Goldwell brand and family," says Rubin, who aspires to follow in Simpson's footsteps. "He can inspire colorists who are at the top of their game or just starting out. I'd love to reach people the way John does." We're guessing that it's only a matter of time before he's doing just that. tip PHOTOGRAPHY (CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT): LUCAS PEARSON; HELEN BERKUN; MAKEUP: ALVIN CASTILLO OF THE MONTH Tricia Rice of Malibu C has been noticing a troubling phenomenon lately that can impact your hair color results. "Styling oils have become a mainstay for so many people, but they also contain silicones that can build up on the hair and make it more diffcult for color to get through," she says. "What's more, when the oil becomes exposed to heat during a bleaching service, the bleach separates, and the highlights can become blotchy or uneven." Rice suggests using Malibu C Crystal Gel to remove unwanted elements on the hair before a color service. "After Crystal Gel has been on the hair for 10 minutes, you'll feel the hair becoming slippery and oily," she says. "That's the time to add a little more Crystal Gel, scrunching the hair between your palms." Process for another 20 to 30 minutes under a hot dryer, then shampoo with warm water to keep the cuticle open and the silicone soft so you can remove everything from the hair before applying color. While this look from Rubin's Innocent Bliss Collectiondid not garner a NAHA nomination in the color category last year we think it should have. The idea was to mix vibrant and pastel shades (rose tones on the top and hyper-violet on the side) on a brunette as if they were melting.
