Whitney Williams - Hey everyone, my name is Whitney and right off the bat, I just want to say that I LOVE what I do! I enjoy going to work everyday and making other people feel good about themselves.
A little about my background: I graduated from the College of Hair Design November 2005 and started working at a salon in Salem. October 2006 went through training to join the Joico Hair Company team. Since working for Joico, I’ve been able to travel to California and Seattle for trainings and hair shows. I just got a promotion with the company and got to go to San Diego in Jan. for the new season’s trend training.
April 2008, I left my Salem salon and moved my business to Portland, where I worked right downtown. I have been able to do hair for the Nordstrom fashion show in Aug.2008. While working at the salon and teaching for Joico, I also been teaching beauty school 3 days a week at Mt. Hood Community College.
Now, I have reassigned myself back in Salem working at a great salon where I finally feel like I’m at home. I am lucky enough to be doing something that I love. I put everything I have into my work. I have the best job in the world....well geezz, I go to work and play with peoples' hair....how awesome is that??!!
