Harvey Plasch
Stylist
Harvey has been a hairdresser for over four decades. After graduation from beauty school in 1970, he started working at this very salon. In 1972, Harvey bought the salon and joined the National Cosmetology Association (NCA). He also taught for the Minnesota Hair Fashion Committee for over 15 years, and won numerous competitions and awards at that time throughout the country. He continues his education regularly to keep up on the latest trends and shares his experience with other staff members daily. On the occasion that he’s not working, Harvey can be found supporting his local community. He’s the former president of the MN Ballet Board. Harvey has built a reputation for himself and his salon with many years of hard work and consistently pleasing his clients. This isn’t just a job, it’s his passion and that shows in his work. He takes pride in what he does, whether in the salon or out in the community. He says you’ll still see him behind the chair when he is 100 years old.
Alex Campanini
Stylist
Alex has been a hairstylist since 2009 and has loved every minute. He specializes in creating unique and fabulous hairstyles, that are not only fun, but easy to recreate. He has prided himself in helping his clients learn more about their hair and how to work with it.
Over the last decade, Alex's skills and knowledge have grown. He has a hard work ethic and is not afraid to go the extra mile for his clients.
Alex is a member of the Duluth Area Professionals chapter of BNI Minnesota, which is a world-wide networking group. Through that he has created valuable alliances with many other pillars of the northland community.
"What I think most important, are my clients. Without them, I am nothing. The reason is the connection between them and me. The laughter, the tears. I have been there through new babies, marriages, and new jobs. I also have walked down the roads of sickness, divorces, and loss. Each appointment can bring something entirely new, but I wouldn't trade a single second of that for anything. I plan to work until my body can no more, and as long as I have my clients by myside, I will be happy."
