Welcome to the Hair Factory Academy

At the Hair Factory we expect only the highest standards from our stylists.  That is why each new stylist that joins our team becomes part of our Hair Factory Academy.  This 1 to 2 year program enables each student to gain complete confidence in working with hair before they take their first client. Whether it's business building or client care exercises, our students gain valuable knowledge for their careers.  

Each week we work through technically based cutting and coloring skills on actual models.  If you would like to be a hair model for a complimentary haircut or color, simply email me at jennghaneystylist at gmail.com with your details.  All of our students have completed a local hair school program and have a basic knowledge of hair design.  All their finished work is checked over by a professional hair stylist, ensuring that you are completely satisfied.  It's a lot of fun and you are supporting someone's educational experience! 

Salon International in London

This October I had the total delight of visiting the famous Salon International in London, England. It is one of the biggest (if not the biggest!) hair show in the world. With over 300 booths, and some of the top hairdressers in the world, I was in my glee!

As shown at Salon International, this autumn/winter season brings the early 1940's back into the limelight. Men's and women's hairstyles are reminiscent of early war era, think Victory rolls, pin curls and glamour!  I can hardly wait to do New Years Eve styles!

You can view all this and more in this short video I took of the show:

 

I'm Off to the Land Down Under

Well, it's finally here! I am off to Australia! I will be out of the salon from February 6 to March 6, 2010. If you (and your hair!) would like to see me before I head down under, please give the salon a call at 726-4247 or email jennghaneystylist@gmail.com as appointments are filling up fast!

See you in March!

A little inspiration?

I found this great video today, so many fantastic haircuts for those of you with short hair and are stuck for a new idea!

Another wedding season over, so many blushing brides. Here's one of my favorites...blissful...

Woman's styles for winter are reminiscent of the 1930's and 40's. New films such as Coco Chanel's biopic "Coco avant Chanel" are inspiring these adorable flapper-esque styles.

The latest styles for men are inspired by the 1940's and 50's. This fashion is brought about by the sensational TV show called "Mad Men". Men's cuts for this season are more structured with very clean lines. Finally, the messy, unkempt look is moving aside for a modern version of this classic 50's style.
