More Than a Hairstylist: 3 Reasons You Want a Hair Artist

by NixonandCo | Apr 19, 2016 | Hair, Style

“A man who works with his hands is a laborer;
a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman;
but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.”
St. Francis of Assisi

At Nixon & Company, we indeed work with our hands, our brains, and our hearts. It’s what sets us apart from other Castle Rock salons and hairstylists.

The distinction is similar to the difference between building a custom home, versus moving into an apartment. It’s a different environment, a different experience, and a different result.

In the hairstyling industry, artistry is what delivers more than a cookie-cutter cut and color that’s “not you,” but a style that is personal, beautiful, and designed for your hair and your personal “hair story.”

Here are three reasons, you want more than a hairstylist. You want a hair artist.

Committed to education
Hair artists explore their art and invest in their passion. At Nixon & Company, our artists attend regular conferences, seminars, and hair events to keep current and stay inspired. Several of us recently attended SEVEN Haircare’s “DEFINE: Master” event with stylist Tyson Daniel, where we focused on elevating our artistry, not only through the latest techniques, but through effective client consultations.

Trends change on a monthly basis, and as artists, we cannot just say, “We learned that 10 years ago,” and expect to deliver the same results today. We take every opportunity to explore our skills, challenge our minds, and master our craft.

Confident and creative
Hair artists are also empowered to be creative, and their ongoing education and investment in their careers gives them further confidence to pursue that creativity. Opportunities like the DEFINE: Master event inspire us. They teach us not to be afraid and to allow ourselves to grow.
We learn not to be limited by what we currently know and to think past our “go-to” cuts and styles. We bring that creativity and passion to our clients, who turn to us for our insights and skills.

Experience to Tell Your Story
Hair artists are also informed enough to ask the right questions of our clients. A lot of times people don’t know what they want. But as artists, we’re able to talk to them, tap into their behaviors and lifestyles, and learn their “hair story.”

We combine that input with our assessment of their hair and our knowledge of the latest options and techniques. We’re able to create a look that clients love and that they’re going to have the most success with. It’s a vital part of not only our artistry, but also our business.
