Meet Doug Snow and Kian Amikhizi, founders and owners of MATRI-X. They met about eight years ago after being assigned as co-trainers in a series of classes formed by a product manufacturer. Both were already quite familiar with one another, since both had operated aesthetic repair businesses in the San Fernando Valley. After training several classes together over a period of years, Kian & Doug noticed that they had found a special chemistry together as trainers and a shared vision of what their students should really learn from a class.
As Doug & Kian continued to teach together, they began to listen intently to their students. They began to understand what their students really needed to learn and focus on during a training in order to make it worth the time and expense, and how best to present this using a wide array of multimedia materials. Using principles of Adult Learning Theory, they spent countless hours composing and revising a new curriculum based upon practical application of all the things Kian & Doug had learned while operating their own businesses outside of these trainings.
Doug & Kian began to discuss forming a company based upon this curriculum, and MATRI-X was born in 2005. For the next two years they continued to appear at teaching seminars sponsored by specific product manufacturers, and realized that more change was needed. In short, Kian & Doug envisioned a training that would be based entirely on their experience, rather than based upon the desires or promotions of a product manufacturer.
In the upcoming year of 2007, MATRI-X will unveil our most exciting developments ever! First, our class series "Unbiased 2007" will launch as the first training available that features a new philosophy of training: Doug & Kian will offer a curriculum based only upon the most efficient and effective restoration and repair techniques that they know. This will include the products used in the class, since Kian & Doug will only show their students the products they use everyday in the field as successful recon technicians!
We are also thrilled to respond to public demand and begin offering our own product line. We will only offer products that we use in our training, and that Doug & Kian continue to use everyday in their own successful aesthetic repair businesses, the only training available that does not subscribe to a single manufacturer. |
