Letter from the EditorWelcome to PRINTED BY THE TEASE Vol. 1To say there’s a lot going on right now would be an understatement. Obviously. How else should we describe these times exactly? Every hour brings a new surprise, delivered to us digitally via push notifications, DMs and texts—not all of them good. In fact, many are bad. It is my hope that this first issue of PRINTED is a good surprise.In this issue, we spotlight the professional beauty industry’s dreamers, artists, innovators, rule-breakers, and world-builders—some are known to you already, many others (we hope) will be new. You’ll find kit checks from Donni Davy, Rena Calhoun and Nikki LaRose-Bonaldi, summer hair color and nail trend predictions from Biancia Hillier and Alisha Rimando, profiles on the barbers you need to know and visits to Logan Parlor in Chicago and the Hair by Schwarzkopf Festival in Berlin. We also grapple with tensions—with what we are meant or expected to do versus what we actually do. We talk with beauty pros and founders, like Cesar Deleon Ramirez, Kendra Alia, Amanda Bavaro, Cassie Carey, Anissa Salazar and Keya Neal, about the choices they’ve made, professionally and personally. We asked the questions you’ve always wanted to have answered and this group did not disappoint.Then there’s the stunning visuals! I am thrilled that we are able to share “We’ve Always Been Here” from Jamie DiGrazia and Manda Ziegelman (both Redken artists and Sam Villa ambassadors) for the first time. DiGrazia, founder and executive director of HAIR HAS NO GENDER™ NFP, and Ziegelman created a bold collection that “celebrates queer identity, gender diversity, and the beauty that exists beyond the binary” which feels more important now than ever before. For our cover story, “It’s Giving Disco,” brought to you by Pure Brazilian, I was able to collaborate with the inimitable Janine Jarman. Our shoot was heavily influenced by our shared love of 70s Cher and the slinky femininity of that time—a total fever dream made real. We also have Good Dye Young “glitching out” with masterful color placement on singer and brand co-founder Hayley Williams by the brand’s other co-founder Brian O’Connor. Pure eye candy escapism.I know that we’re competing for your attention. This issue of PRINTED is up to the task.Jeffrey C.
