Dedicated to the art of craft hair design and creativity
Hi there and welcome to my personal career journey!
I'm thrilled to have you here. My name is Mary Ahigian, and I am a passionate hair stylist hailing from upstate New York. Over the past decade, I've had the privilege of immersing myself in the world of hairstyling, continuously learning, elevating, and exploring my craft.
One of the greatest honors in my career has been the opportunity to train under some of the most exceptional educators that New York has to offer. Their guidance and expertise have shaped my skills and instilled in me a deep commitment to delivering quality service.
Every new client that walks through my door holds a special place in my heart, as I believe that no two journeys are alike. My goal is to provide you with an experience tailored to your unique needs and aspirations.
Drawing from my extensive experience and a genuine passion for what I do, my aim is to make you feel seen and heard. Together, we will embark on a personalized journey that will leave you feeling your best, both inside and out.
So whether you're seeking a fresh new look, a daring transformation, or simply a bit of pampering, I am here to deliver your desired outcome with utmost care and attention to detail.
Let's connect and create the perfect journey for you. I am excited to meet you and help bring your hair aspirations to life.
I am pleased to share my professional journey in the hair industry, which began with an opportunity at a small salon where I had the privilege of immediately diving into cutting hair, instead of starting as an assistant like many new stylists. This early experience allowed me to establish a strong bond with my scissors from the very beginning. I am truly grateful for this foundation, as it instilled in me both technical expertise and a deep appreciation for the artistry involved in hairstyling.
As I progressed in my career, I decided to take a step forward and transition to a small upscale salon located in Saratoga Springs, NY. Joining the esteemed team at Hair Creations Salon presented me with an opportunity to surround myself with like-minded professionals who consistently strive for excellence, radiate positivity, and practice mindfulness. It was an honor to become part of such a vibrant and dedicated tribe.
During my time at Hair Creations Salon, I actively sought to expand my knowledge and skills in haircutting and coloring. Over the course of seven years, I immersed myself in the techniques and inspirations offered by Bumble and Bumble, renowned for their craft education and talented stylists. I had the privilege of participating in hands-on classes led by top-notch educators, further honing my craft and elevating my hairstyling abilities.
One particularly memorable aspect of this journey was the opportunity to attend classes at the prestigious House of Bumble located in New York City. The intricate details and practical experiences I gained from these sessions were truly invaluable. They not only fueled my ambition to excel in my chosen vocation but also sharpened my focus on providing an exceptional mental experience for my clients during their visits with me.
Through my personal growth as a stylist, I discovered a particular affinity for working with the razor, both for haircutting and texturizing. This versatile tool has become my tool of choice, and I have honed my skills in its usage to deliver precise and tailored hairstyles for my clients. The training I received at the House of Bumble has had a lasting impact on me, motivating me to consistently aspire to excellence and success in not only my craft but also in creating a holistic and satisfying experience for every client who sits in my chair.
These valuable experiences and exceptional education have shaped me into a hairstylist who is dedicated to staying at the forefront of industry trends and techniques. I am committed to continuously refining my skills and nurturing meaningful client relationships, ensuring that every person who entrusts me with their hair receives exceptional service and leaves feeling their absolute best.
Throughout my extensive career in the world of hair, I have had the privilege of honing my skills in a wide range of coloring techniques. In order to stay ahead of the ever-changing trends, I have made it a point to continuously educate myself on the latest industry innovations, both through professional avenues and online platforms. By staying up-to-date with the freshest trends and techniques, I am able to offer my clients a cutting-edge experience that is rooted in both professional expertise and my own personal creative flair.
I am particularly enamored with the art of color application, and I specialize in balayage and foilayage techniques, utilizing lightener to achieve stunning and customized results. It is my true passion to provide clients with not only a meticulously planned and thought-out session, but also an experience that is centered on their individual goals and desires. This dedication to delivering exceptional service is what drives me each and every day.
One of the cornerstones of my approach is the implementation of the Embeautyment method. I have been privileged to receive an Embeautyment education through the esteemed Nicole Cichocki of Truth, Beauty & Goodness. This education has instilled in me the understanding that a successful hair session extends beyond technical skill; it requires being present in mind and spirit for each and every client. By fostering a genuine connection, I am able to establish a strong foundation of trust and rapport with those who sit in my chair.
I wholeheartedly believe that every client deserves the best in every visit. From the moment they step into my salon chair, I work diligently to create an unforgettable experience that exceeds their expectations. Such dedication to their satisfaction is what propels me forward, constantly seeking new knowledge and pushing boundaries. After all, the journey of learning is never-ending, and I cherish every step that brings me closer to mastery.
