JAMES GILL
James is a passionate and creative hairdresser with more than eight years experience in the art of design, coloring, and finishing beautiful hairstyles. Design training in "Modern Classics" from Toni and Guy provided a firm framework and specific methodology to create solid designs and finishing.
Having started work in an Aveda concept salon in Naples, Florida, James was educated in the ethos of beautiful, responsible color. It is a philosophy he has continued throughout his career.
While at the Felix Andrews Salon Aveda he was introduced to color expert Beth Minardi who changed his perception of color and helped to shape his career and passion for hair color. As such he is delighted to be able to work with Beth Minardi products in his own salon.
A firm believer in continued professional development, when he’s not in the salon, James is most likely to be honing his technique or learning from the finest hair designers and colorists in the world via an online training course.
His pursuit of hairdressing greatness has led him on a variety of inspiring paths, few more exciting than the NAHA Master Hairstylist of the Year double-award winner Kris Sorbie, which led him to an unforgettable trip New York City. Later, he was blessed to be a part of the Kris Sorbie's Mentoring Program, another exciting and educationally stimulating experience. A mentor and guide, Kris Sorbie's educational programs inspire and provide inspiration to constantly improve his skills.
While further adventures have seen him take on a highly-acclaimed one-year internship program headed up by one of the most well-known industry icons, five-time NAHA winner Vivienne Mackinder, and founder of HairDesignerTV.com. Vivienne inspires, coaches, and leads by example expecting nothing but perfection. She is one of James' "miracles".
Other industry icons, most notably Anthony Edge, John Simpson, James LeBosquet, and Lupe Voss have also had a huge impact on James, both personally and professionally.
A friendly, likable guy, James’ main goal in hairdressing is to make you look and feel the best while reaching for the stars to be the best he can in doing what he loves. While always pushing the limits, his true passion is hair color and is something he lives for. Each day he is motivated by his mentors to push the limits to constantly improve and achieve his goals for which he is truly grateful for.
James also provides private education sessions to recent cosmetology graduates desiring effective test preparation for the Cosmetology State Board Exam in Florida as well as anyone wishing to excel with education in this industry.
