from Qnity Lightbulb Moments Hosted by Tom Kuhn

Painting with Light: Candy Shaw's Journey from Salon Legacy to Global EducatorThis week on Lightbulb Moments, we sit down with Candy Shaw, the "Balay Boss" herself and a true industry pioneer who transformed highlighting techniques worldwide.Born into beauty royalty as the daughter of world-champion hairdresser Jamison Shaw, Candy didn't just inherit a legacy—she revolutionized it. Trained in Paris and armed with French cutting precision, she elevated balayage from a niche technique to a global phenomenon through her signature fast, efficient, and no-nonsense approach.Despite running three successful businesses—Jamison Shaw Hairdressers (a 50-year Atlanta institution where she still serves up to 25 clients daily), her specialized Academy, and SUNLIGHTS® Balayage (creators of THE BALAY BOX® and innovative Kaolin-based lighteners)—Candy remains first and foremost an educator at heart. This dedication culminated in her recognition as a NAHA Educator of the Year finalist in 2022. Join us for a brilliant conversation about maintaining creativity while building an empire, balancing family tradition with innovation, and how a passion for teaching others can spark an international movement in the beauty industry.
