When We Are Together, We Win: Our Annual Company Celebration

Every year we come together to celebrate the successes from the past year and give special honor to those who have demonstrated great passion, skill and leadership in our company. Being abundantly joyful is something we believe in quite strongly, and this night is no different than any other in showing that belief. Looking around to see familiar faces and feeling the energy from hundreds of excited employees is something to marvel at.

Our guest speaker, Frank Gambuzza, owner of The Visage Group and President of Intercoiffure America/Canada, said it best: “You don’t see even five salons in the country doing what you are doing at Cole’s Salon.”

We are proud to be a company that puts value in our team members, regardless of position, because when we are together, we win.

And the Award Goes To…

Two groups were recognized for their leadership and inspiration by way of the Jennifer Wilson Leadership and Excellence Award and Joel Suzuki Star Thrower Award.

We are continuously inspired by our relationships with one another, our clients and our craft. Here’s what a few team members had to say about their work and of the night:
