Shawn
Welcome guests and fellow clients.
First of all, to introduce myself, I am Shawn Manley the owner of Village Hair Company. I have owned Village Hair Company since May of 1999. I bring a little over 13 years of experience, in the beauty industry, to the Nokomis East Neighborhood and Village Hair Company.
I have experienced many things in the beauty industry that have led me to my current passion of salon ownership and stylist mentoring. I have been involved in many hair shows, charity events, worked in some great salons with unbelievable mentors to me, involved with many local musicians and actors as well as the love of doing hair! I continue to expand my training by attending many beauty shows and classes such as the Las Vegas Redken Symposium, Aveda Master Jam in Kansas City, Redken Expressions show, the Redken Exchange in New York City, and numerous classes on salon management, ownership, haircutting, and coloring.
I grew up in the small town of Walhalla, North Dakota. Yeah, small town. I then attended a couple years at Moorhead State University as a theatre major before finding my calling as a hairdresser and eventually a salon owner.
I have found many challenges owning a small salon in a big city market but they have been very rewarding. These challenges have not only pushed me to grow my business but have also made me grow personally in no way I could have predicted. I probably couldn't have done any of this without the support of the best staff an owner could ask for. Staff that has stood behind me no matter how stupid they felt my ideas were! Let alone my partner who has stood by me through a lot as well!
I couldn't have done this without all of you! Thank you to all of you for bringing my crazy ideas to reality and make them work. You know who you are!
I look forward to seeing you at Village Hair Company! Thank you to all of our clients for your constant support!
