At Cutting Loose, gratitude is more than just a word—it’s a cornerstone of our culture. This year, we dedicated an entire week to celebrating the people, stories, and relationships that make our salon so special. From learning about legendary beginnings to showcasing our creativity, this week was truly one to remember.

We kicked off our Gratitude Week with an incredible visit from Daniel Kaner, co-founder of Oribe. Daniel shared the inspiring story of Oribe the man and the journey behind the creation of the iconic product line. For many of our younger stylists, it was their first time hearing this narrative, and it left them feeling deeply inspired. Daniel’s words reminded us all of the power of passion, artistry, and perseverance—a perfect way to set the tone for our week.

Also that day, Jeffrey from Goldwell joined us to dive into fall trends, sharing some of his favorite red formulas. With the crisp autumn air comes a craving for warm, rich colors, and Jeffrey’s expertise gave our team a fresh perspective on how to make those hues come to life.

The highlight of our week was our Gratitude Party on Saturday evening. It was a night of elegance, celebration, and connection, as our team dressed to the nines and brought their significant others to share in the joy. We were thrilled to welcome representatives from Oribe, Bumble and Bumble, and Goldwell, who joined us to celebrate this special occasion. Together, we reflected on our journey, toasted to our successes, and deepened our bonds as a team.

Gratitude Week wasn’t just about events—it was about the spirit of appreciation. It reminded us to honor where we’ve been, celebrate where we are, and dream about where we’re going. Thank you to everyone who made this week so meaningful. Here’s to many more moments of inspiration, connection, and gratitude in the future!
