Congratulations to our Stylist of the Month for June, Shannon! She's a stylist at our Southgate, Michigan salon. We wanted to ask her a few questions about her and her time at Lady Jane’s.

LJ: Favorite part about cutting hair at LJ?

SHANNON: I love the fact that I was able to make it a career, Lady Jane’s is so much more than just a job to me. I’m able to give my daughter a beautiful home and a very comfortable lifestyle all on my own, for that I will be eternally grateful!

LJ: Favorite sports team and why?

SHANNON: I was raised watching hockey, my 60 year old father still plays to this day! Hockey players do not get half the credit they deserve, they will take a skate to the face and still want to go out and finish the game! The Wings just need to find their way back into the playoffs. Every Detroit team needs to do that!

LJ: What type of music do you listen to?

SHANNON: This is a hard one, I’m all over the place as long as it’s shuffled in. I cannot listen to one particular genre of music all day. Unless it’s 90s music!

LJ: Hobbies?!

SHANNON: Nothing makes me feel more lame then when someone asks me this question lol! I’m kind of a nerd and really enjoy reading, the old fashioned kind of books with pages. As long as I’m spending time with my family and friends, I’m happy.

LJ: Clippers or scissors?

SHANNON: I’ve always been confident in my scissor cuts but I think the clippers chose me. More then half of my clients are bald fades! Any cut that gives me a challenge I enjoy, the lower the fade, the better.

LJ: What’s you favorite LJ product to use?

SHANNON: When it comes to product I try to use what works best for that clients hair and desired look. If I had to choose, it would definitely be the Bed Head Manipulator Matte. It’s great for so many different hairstyles. A big problem for guys is not being able to style their hair correctly, this product is very user friendly.

LJ: 10 second pitch on why LJ is the only place for a guy to get a haircut…

SHANNON: Lady Jane’s is not a in-and-out type of establishment. We value quality over quantity EVERY time. Every guy that walks out of a Lady Jane’s has one of our talented stylists signatures left on their heads, we take pride in that!

LJ: Favorite thing about working at LJ?

SHANNON: Even though its so cliche sounding, I look at my coworkers as family. We are such a tight group of girls that genuinely care for each other! I couldn’t imagine my life without a lot of these girls! Doesn’t hurt that my clients are AMAZING also.

LJ: What is your motto to live by?

SHANNON: Set some goals. Stay quiet about them. Smash the shit out of them. Clap for your damn self.

LJ: What made you want to be a cosmetologist?

SHANNON: When I was a senior in High School, the school newspaper asked everyone what school they were going to after graduation. I was a terrible student regretfully but I answered with cosmetology school. I ended up waiting until I was 23 and crying on the way to my job that I couldn’t stand when I finally decided to go sign up. Part of me was glad I waited because I know for a fact I took it a lot more seriously and I was so proud when I finished. Safe to say I haven’t cried on my way to work since.
