Stylist Interview – Sean Henry, Salon Evol

Urban Cowboy can sum up Sean Henry’s flava. Sean has been working in the hair styling industry for 15 years, and is the owner of Salon Evol, an edgy and visually intoxicating salon, located in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. It has been ranked in Salon Today’s Magazine’s ‘Top 200 Salons’ two years in a row, is an ever evolving favorite of locals and even draws in the crowds of New York and Philadelphia. If Sean isn’t inside the salon, he’s outside playing. We’re happy to have a had a little chat with him share some of his wit. Here’s what he’s had to say:

BeautySmack- What initially pushed you get into Styling?

SH- It was more of a spontaneous thing. Someone just said to me one day you should go to school for hair within a week I was signed up for beauty school.

BS- Where do you get your influences from when creating the new looks for Salon Evol?

SH- Definitely the music industry. The indie music today is the looks the general public will be wearing in the years to come.

BS - I’m sure many people come to you and do not have any idea on how to communicate their ideas for their cut and color to you. What advice can you give to the readers on how to prepare for an accurate, but concise hair consultation?

SH - Dont look at it (i.e. your hair) or a picture as the cut. Look at the pieces you like (bangs, length, fringe, etc.) A haircut is created so many different looks can be pieced together to form the one you want.

BS- When using styling products a dime size amount sometimes doesn’t seem feasible, What is an accurate application for different lengths and types of hair of a typical styling cream?

SH - Only you and your budget can determine that.

BS - We’ve had a bit of a flashback with 80’s hair, mullets and faux hawks, do you see the big glam hair coming back into play this fall complete with Aqua Net?

SH - One can only hope.

BS - Is there any celeb you would love to beautysmack (ie makeover their hair)?

SH -Jennifer Aniston her look is as bland as she is, completely boring.

BS - I’m so glad you mentioned her, I completely agree. Wash and Wear hair? Does that even exist?

SH -Hell Yea! if you go to the right stylist that can work with your hair…

BS - Sounds like your the right man for the job and prepared for the challenge!!
