John Steinberg – an icon in the Canadian hairdressing industry passed away last week. He had been courageously fighting with cancer since the last six months. His loss is indeed very sad.

John was one of Toronto’s best known hairstylists and his legendary career in the beauty industry lasted for 51 years. He started his career as a 15 year old apprentice under the legendary stylist Robert Edele in England in 1959.

John had represented L’Oreal Professional, Wella, Schwarzkopf and other companies at hairdressing conventions. He had also won the 2005 Contessa Community Service Award. Amongst his colleagues and within the industry, John was known to be a very generous and kind person.

We were honoured to have John with us on ScissorBoy TV as he talked about his adventure in the hair industry. In that episode, he not only gave great tips for wannabe hairstylists but also provided some inspirational advice for hairstylists.

This hair and beauty industry veteran lend us his inspirational advice while he was on our show by saying -

“All you need is a comb and a pair of scissors and you can go anywhere in the world!”

We’ll miss you John! Rest in peace.

Be-Cause Charity Kick-Off Gala

Be-Cause, founded by Millennium Salon Software, is a movement to unite the industry and pay recognition to individuals who go above and beyond the call of duty. The first Be-Cause charity event will be held in NYC, the day before the IBS Show, on March 5, 2011.

All proceeds raised will go to Beauty Changes Lives (BCL), an organization focused on raising funds for scholarship programs to benefit new students entering the beauty industry and provide advanced education programs for licensed beauty professionals.

The Be-Cause is a challenge of self-perseverance to be everything you can and want to be. The beauty industry is made up of amazing people who are stepping outside of the norm and doing more. Basically “BEING” is about being something that is true to who you are and has motivated you to be successful.

If you had to choose 1 word (your “be” word) what would it be? All of our interviewees have chosen a word that embodies their philosophy and it’s reminding the rest of the industry that they have one too. It is much easier to remember who you are and where you are going if you hold on to this word.

Be-Cause Gala 2011

If you’ll be in the New York City area on March 5, make sure you’re attending the Be-Cause Gala. It’s a great opportunity to support an amazing cause and network with top stylists like Ted Gibson and Tabatha Coffey.

Posted at 2:26 PM • No Comments

NAHA 2010 was exciting! It was an amazing night as DJ Roonie G enthralled the audience and the stylists flaunted their well deserving awards. The night was made even more special as Scissorboy was quoted by Anna Pacitto while receiving her NAHA award.

Anna is the Artistic Director for L’Oreal Professional Canada and she successfully manages Salon Pure in Montreal, Canada. She accepted NAHA 2010 award as stylists from her salon won the Salon Team of the Year award.

Anna and her team of stylists have won numerous hair awards. While Anna was speaking about how happy she was to receive the NAHA 2010 award, she mentioned that she was featured on Scissorboy.com a few weeks ago. It was so nice of Anna to mention about us that I immediately tweeted this news.

I received a lot of emails and phone calls from people, telling me that they heard about us during NAHA 2010 awards. Thank you so much guys for showing your love for Scissorboy.

It’s a coincidence that Anna who accepted Salon Team of the Year 2010 award had actually shown “Teamwork in Action” when she was featured on the Cutting Edge Hair Show.

In that episode Anna along with her team showed us how to conduct a strategy meeting. She then showed us how they create some of their signature photo shoots that create amazing looks that win awards.
