 Message
from Leon…
Welcome to the start of the
most exciting and rewarding profession in
the world! Believe it or not, every successful
hairdresser including the legendary Vidal
Sasson, Paul Mitchell, Leland Hirsch, and
Michael Mazzei began just as you are about
to. There is no such thing as natural talent.
No one is born with the skills to be a successful
hairdresser.
First and foremost you need to be passionate
and dedicated, with a sincere desire to
be the very best you can be. Without that,
you can never expect to make any of your
dreams a reality, no matter what career
path you choose. That is your commitment.
Our commitment is to provide you with the
highest quality education available, and
to give you the relevant technical and professional
skills to be successful. Our state of the
art facility will offer a positive, creative
and fun learning environment. All of our
expertly trained instructors will help cultivate
each student's individual growth.
As a working hairdresser, salon owner, educator
and international platform artist, I have
shared our philosophy and techniques with
thousands of hairdressers throughout the
United States and Europe.
It has always been my dream to bring this
world-class education to Western New York.
I feel honored and privileged that you have
chosen our school to begin your career.
Good luck.
Sincerest Professional Regards,
Leon Tringali
