our story
2014. about arizona salon professionals
In the summer of 2014 Christian James founded Arizona Salon Professionals with one goal in mind: to elevate the quality of hairstylists in Arizona.
The group was launched on Facebook by stylists for stylists with the intention to get a few people together once a month, watch some education videos on technique and maybe have someone teach a class occasionally. What he did not anticipate was the demand from Arizona professionals looking to elevate their skills. Now, ASP has grown to over 13,000 members of professionals throughout the beauty industry.
ASP has hosted educational events with local artists and industry greats like Eden Sassoon, Sam Villa, Aubrey Loots, Ammon Carver, Jenny Strebe – Confessions of a Hairstylist, Jay Wesley Olsen and the Teals.
