“The Fan out texture shears are one of the best performing
texture shears I’ve ever used to break up solid lines in
hair. The curved design of each tooth allows the shears to leave
the hair effortlessly, and the radical styling of the multi-pointed
ends of each tooth can create tons of action in the hair. Amazing
performance, “they're like butter!”
Shannon King is clearly one of an elite group of international
hair stylists. Shannon is not only the International Artistic Leader
of Hair Cuttery, the largest privately-owned salon chain in the
United States with over 800 salons. He also serves as an ambassador
for both Hair Cuttery and Redken in Europe and Asia having performed
on stage in events in Korea and England.
Together these experiences make Shannon’s abilities incredibly
well rounded; from his ability to inspire fellow stylists to explore
their creativity and build on their technical skills, to selecting
and developing strong international artistic teams that’s
work has said to “Rival the Alternative Hair Show”,
said Modern Salon.
In addition to his international travels, Shannon travels nationally
working with educators and performing at hair shows. Shannon also
develops curriculum for classes, including Redken’s Men’s
Design and the Manual. Then he trains the trainers who implement
the curriculum. Shannon’s energy and passion for learning
makes his programs effective. He says,“People learn better
when we’re having fun.”
When he’s not teaching, Shannon consults on photo shoots;
he serves as a company spokesman for trends and techniques. He
has the pleasure of working on photo shoots for various trade publications
including Modern Salon, American Salon and Hair Sophisticate. Shannon
demonstrates his special gifts in classes as small as 15 and trade
shows drawing over 2,000. He also enjoys facilitating at the Redken
Exchange in New York City and the Redken Symposium in Las Vegas.
More than the travel, performing, training and choreography, Shannon
always enjoys salon work. “Being behind the chair is where
it all starts and where it all comes together.”
