We had the good fortune of connecting with Haley Mahannah and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Haley, what’s something about your industry that outsiders are probably unaware of?
The wonderful connection one has to their Hair Designer/Barber. Salon visits are very much so viewed as self time and a pleasant place to be. Its not just the hair we are doing. I have always felt very blessed to have this vocation, because so much is given and received. Even a bad day, is still a good day.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My art has a lot to do with understanding lines, facial shapes, height, who someone is as a professional and at home, loving numbers in time and formulas. Its hypnotic to me even after a decade. I enjoy people and their vast arrays of styles, personalities, and likes. I feel flattered that I’m the person they choose to make all of these things come together. I’ve worked tirelessly at my vocation. extra classes, so many late nights of researching how to do things better, being around other incredible stylists that inspire me. Its important in this industry to not have an ego, because the oceans of knowledge are very vast, and ego gets in the way of education. It has not been easy, but I have enjoyed every moment of this craft.
The lessons I have learned along the way are to broad to summarize into an article . I’d like people to know that first they really are beautiful as they stand, just now. I am merely here to help them shine how they’d like to be seen.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’ve taken many friends who come to visit to javelina Leap vineyard, the Hudson, Golden Goose, out to the creek,…. Sedona in itself is a nice place to be, and all that come here find peace of varies sorts.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’d like to thank all of my clients, they are what makes my successes in so many ways, and I do feel privileged to know them . Also my daughter, for being my endless drive and inspiration, she is the most beautiful person I have ever known.
