INdustry Hair and Esthetics opened its doors in 2016 after Award-winning Stylists David and Marilyn decided to venture out on their own and created an environment where everyone felt like they were “home”. They had a vision to mentor and establish a team that was like minded and as hungry as they were. Our team is made up of graduating students from Niagara College who train through Marilyn and David’s intensive program. Many of them have already become award-winning stylists. From provincial to international competitions, they have worked hard together to put INdustry Hair on the map!

Competing gives us the opportunity to work with the best of the best worldwide, pushes us out of our comfort zone, keeps us on our toes with the latest trends, and helps us build teamwork. The result of this effort and drive has placed INdustry Hair on the leading edge of Canadian Hairstyling and made us the most award winning salon in the Niagara Region.

David and Marilyn are also proud members of GOLDWELL National artistic Education Team!
