What started as just a big dream has turned into an amazing reality.
In early 2010, after working in a salon as a stylist for 10 years, it was time to try it on my own. My family, and at the time, my friend Rob, all pulled together to help my dream come true. In July of that year, I opened Shag Hair Salon. Shortly after opening, I had most of my chairs filled with excellent stylists. In July of 2013, my friend Rob became my husband… So now with my son Anthony, we were a family of three. Since he had also been working as a hair stylist since 2000, we decided that it was best for him to come work at Shag. Just a quick 9 months later we became a family of 4 when our daughter, Sloane, came into our lives. Rob and I are both graduates of Montour High School and South Hills Beauty Academy. Rob has worked in a salon since he was 17. Early on he knew his path in the industry. He has been educated by some of the best in the business and has had the opportunity to educate younger stylists. His specialty is barber style cuts, but he is also very skilled in all cutting techniques and coloring as well. When he is not in the salon, he fills his time with many hobbies… hunting, fishing and woodworking are his favorites.
As for myself, upon graduating from South Hills Beauty Academy, I was given a full scholarship to continue my schooling and receive my cosmetology teaching license. My passion has grown with every passing moment in the beauty industry. I wanted to bring all of my favorite things together… family, making people smile, and beauty. Through opening Shag, I have tried my best to bring these things together. I love to learn all of the new trends and incorporate them into the techniques and knowledge that have brought me to where I am today.
No matter your age, style or need, I will make sure that you have an amazing experience and leave my chair feeling GORGEOUS!
