Lisa McAuliffe

Lisa took her first job in the hair industry at the age of 14 in her hometown of Ottawa, Canada. It didn’t take long for her to go from sweeping the floor to applying colors and assisting the busy colorists she worked for. In her early 20’s Lisa followed her passion and moved her burgeoning career to Toronto, Canada. Once there, she dug in and took every class she could get her hands on. She immediately immersed herself in the philosophies of Schwarzkopf, Toni & Guy, L’Oreal, and Vidal Sassoon. After accepting a position in a trendy uptown salon, Lisa quickly became the fastest growing stylist/colorist in the well known “Salon Afif”. By 2003 Lisa was shooting her creative work and entering it into competitions. Her peers began to take notice in 2004 when she was nominated for the first time by the Canadian Contessa awards as a semi-finalist in the category of “New Comer of the Year”. In September 2005 her work was featured on the cover of “Salon Magazine”, Canada’s largest trade magazine for the hair and beauty industry. In 2007 she was once again nominated as a semi finalist in the Contessa awards this time for “Canadian Hairstylist of the Year”, “Ontario Hairstylist of the Year” and “Multicultural Hairstylist of the year”. Her largest accomplishment came in 2008 when she was nominated by the very prestigious NAHAs (North American Hairstyling Awards) as a finalist in the category of “North American Haircolorist of the Year”. Since then her work has appeared in “Colorist Magazine” and on many trade websites.

Lisa enjoys travelling with Product Club to various trade shows around North America showcasing her original and very unique techniques. Her Product Club artistic team members have been quoted by describing her as “having a crisp vision of modern haircolor that is effortlessly communicated,” as well as “being very unique in her approach to color scenarios that we all face every day... she is extremely inspirational.”
