Ross McManus - Bellus Academy - Special Guest Artist

Ross grew up in his mother's salon and from the age of seven knew that he had a natural talent for the craft. But it wasn't until he attended the prestigious Vidal Sassoon Academy for his Cosmetology training that he was able to add skill to his natural talent.

After obtaining his license he worked for Wella International as an Advanced Educator at hair shows, the studio in Woodland Hills and in salon education. It was at Wella that Ross sharpened his ability to teach future professionals complex hair color information.

Ross's desire to teach full time brought him to Bellus Academy as a Lead Instructor specializing in color. He also designed the curriculum for the Advanced Academy (Color week) and continues to teaches the curriculum.

The energizing students that Ross works with every day keeps his creativity flowing and love of teaching alive.
