Lisa Monson - Owner/Hair Stylist

As the owner of Shear Excellence for 27 years, I made a commitment to create a salon that anyone would feel at home in -- a salon that I would want to go to myself as a customer. 

The group of stylists and estheticians that work at Shear Excellence feel like family to me. We collaborate and share our education and experience with each other. We all come from different schools of thought, so we can inspire each other. 

It's wonderful to see the beauty that walks out of our salon. So much talent!

I have been in the salon business for 35 years and have spent most of them at Shear Excellence. My education started at the International Institute of Hair Design. I also studied at Sassoon in San Francisco and under Robert Cromean of Paul Mitchell. I also have advanced training with TIGI. 

Still, my best teachers surround me at work every day. 

They inspire me.
