Haircut 101

Haircut 101 has been in business for almost 22 years.  That is amazing!  After all of these years, the place is still here, the music is bumping, the mirror ball is shining, hair is flying everywhere and everyone is having a good time.   Haircut 101 is located in a small mountain town where the air is crisp and the style is retro, vintage and all things recreated.  The salon has been through many wonderful hairdressers, a fantastic staff of front desk goddesses, too many haircuts to count and still, John Mena remains the go-to guy for your haircare needs.  John has trained so many hairdressers--Hair stylist that own there own salons, stylist that have been featured in fashion shows and photo shoots, stylist that will always go back to 101 and think ..."Wow, this is where my career began!"

We have all had our ups and downs, our moments when we thought we would never make it, and even moments when we question our talent and our passion for hairdressing, but I know that one of the biggest inspirations for all of us has been MENA!  He is crazy, fun, a perfectionist and a control freak, but...Haircut 101 has been here for 22 years!  He makes us all better hairdressers by expecting us to work harder, ultimately making us LOVE what we do.  So, cheers to Wild Man Mena, for teaching us all a little something about the HAIR!

As we embark on blogging, please forgive our writing skills for we are hairdressers.  We went to school to cut hair and I believe we should stick to that!  So, we will be posting How-To videos, Make up application methods, styling ideas, haircare management and product knowledge videos.  We want to share our craft with you, this is our love and we want to spread our love all around.  You are the canvas and with that we are able to create masterpieces.  

As the staff takes classes, goes on trips, learns anything new and meets interesting people, you will hear about it.  You will see pictures of our work, before-and-afters, new ideas, trends and concepts.  You never know, you may get a therapy session just for reading our blog :).  

We will run specials, have drawings and communicate with you about all the events the salon hosts.  You will be able to win prizes or services through the blog.  Not to mention, there will be pretty pictures of beautiful people!  

Please enjoy getting to know the staff and the stories of the daily lives of those at 101.  And feel free to stop by anytime, we would love to get our hands in your hair!

XOXO, Heather
