Senior Stylist Lana Soussan finds inspiration in the richness of the Victorian Era, the pastels of ice cream swirls and the brilliance in prismatic crystals. Her imagination and creativity are at once both rare in their wonderment and enthusiastic in their manifestations. Having trained extensively in Creative, Razor and Scissor Cutting at Vidal Sassoon Academy, Toni + Guy, Bumble and bumble University, as well as Advanced Hair Color Techniques from Goldwell, Wella, Toni + Guy, Lana collects certifications like they are fine art. She has studied in some of the most fashion-forward locales in the world – Berlin, London, Las Vegas and NYC – and is a 17-year veteran of Newbury Street, making her one of Boston’s most versatile stylists. Add to this concoction a generous helping of extension expertise as both a dedicated student and instructor with Stiletto at a director-level and SoCap, HairLocs and Simplicity at the advanced-level and you have the very essence of inspired hair creations; the very fiber of Lana!
