Owner Shaun Thomas has been in the industry for over almost fifteen years and takes his work seriously:
"GLAM is the next big adventure in my career. Once I learned my basic skills, I nurtured my abilities through various avenues such as seminars, classes, webinars-really just anything I can wrap my brain around to further my education. I have always loved to learn, and hit the ground running in this industry, fueled by a passion to create and succeed.

I pride myself in being adept in everything from basic services to advanced coloring techniques to the most intricate principles behind hair design. I excel at applying and maintaining hair extensions, guaranteeing a seamless blend and color match each time. My latest area of expertise is concentrated in specialty hand painting color techniques such as balayage (a French method of hand-painting the highlights exactly where we want them for a soft, natural sun kissed effect with less dramatic grow out).

I have had the pleasure of traveling with my career to work and learn across the country. From New York to Las Vegas, I have trained and received cashing from industry figureheads like Nick Arrojo, Beth Minardi, and Candy Shaw. I've been fortunate to work with many local and semi-national publications, landing me the opportunity a few years ago to become a contributing editor and lead editorial stylist for Southern Beauty magazine (now an online e-zine, so make sure to check them out). I am grateful beyond words for the opportunities that have come my way over the years.

I have to say the biggest motivation for my choosing this profession is the feeling I still have when I like what I see in the mirror. No matter what kind of day a person is having, it can be turned around by that fresh, fantastic, beautiful feeling that comes with getting out of your stylist's chair feeling unstoppable. I also remember those instances that weren't so great. I thought to myself "Now, I wasn't that demanding. How in the world did this go awry?" I have a fundamental desire in me to learn how to do good hair and be as effective of a communicator as I can be (though we all know you can't always please everyone, but I DO try).

Sam Torres is the resident makeup artist and salon assistant. His bright, cheerful attitude and constant smile are a welcomed and refreshing distinction to our clients-one that again reinforces our commitment to make them all feel welcome. Sam has a background in theatre, and enjoys keeping our clients entertained while they visit. His talent in the area of makeup will also make sure you look perfect for your special day or night.

We look forward to seeing you at GLAM. You're going to love it here.
