There is nothing like being in the presences of passionate people that truly
love what they do each and every day! And when you come across a family owned
and operated salon that invites you in with huge hearts making you feel at home
is one of those many things I am grateful for and say I Love my job! I recently
had the pleasure to teach in Chicago and one of my visits was the Taylor
Stevens Salon-Spa. Andrea Swanson who opened her salon in 2000 and has become a
part of Aveda’s Prestige’s purfessional (educational) hair color team in 2008
invited me back to inspire her team. I first met Andrea in 2005 when I got a
request to come to her salon and teach her staff Aveda hair color we instantly
connected and I fell in love with her and the staff, Steve her husband and
partner in crime and a beautiful little girl who gave me a hand massage at age
nine Taylor. Seven years later that beautiful little girl has become a stunning,
intelligent sixteen year old beauty who is the next generation in the family
business, she already knows what customer service is all about and working part
time in the salon as an assistant, shampooing and doing makeup finishes for
their clients and doing it full-hearted with a smile I was impressed.
Andrea and Steve's passion is to teach and help salon owners with their business
focusing on hair color as well as colorists to be successful for the long term
but above all to ensure in their daughter Taylor that hard work, core values and a giving heart is success and together they can create a legacy of making a difference each and every day. The Taylor Stevens
Salon-Spa group are not only doing it right behind their chairs they also give back to their community with several fundraising causes. Hats off to both Andrea and Steve for inspiring and teaching the next generation of a home grown Star.
