John Spencer
Stylist & Owner
I am honored to introduce myself as the Founder of Haus of Hair, an esteemed establishment renowned for its exceptional hairdressing services. Hailing from the vibrant city of Flint, Michigan, I received my formal education at the prestigious Edwards School of Cosmetology. Currently residing in the luxurious Naples, FL area, I am deeply passionate about the art of hairdressing, which has been ingrained in my family for generations.
Ancestrally, the artistry of hair has been a cherished pursuit within my lineage. My great grandfather, a skilled barber, set the foundation for our family’s passion. This flame was carried forward by my mother and uncle, both of whom attended cosmetology school. Presently, the legacy thrives as my wife, daughter, and I diligently practice our craft as accomplished hairdressers.
Growing up in the vibrant cultural atmosphere of the 1960s and 1970s, I was captivated by the remarkable transformations my uncle would create, crafting truly artful styles for my mother and grandmother. This early exposure instilled in me a profound appreciation for the ability to mold and enhance one’s appearance, an aspect I find immensely gratifying. Moreover, I possess a keen expertise in seamlessly incorporating pieces, extensions, and wigs into any hairstyle, ensuring a flawless and undetectable result.
It is with utmost pleasure that I extend a warm invitation to you, welcoming you to experience the multitude of strengths and talents offered at Haus of Hair. Within our sanctuary of beauty, you will be treated to an unparalleled range of services, all culminating in our unwavering commitment to surpassing your every expectation.
Dawn Spencer
Owner/Stylist
Hello, I’m Dawn Spencer, and I hail from the vibrant city of Flint, Michigan. I received my formal education at the esteemed Edwards School of Cosmetology, where I honed my skills and discovered my passion for the art of hairstyling. It was during my time there that I also had the pleasure of crossing paths with my partner in life and business, John Spencer.
Creativity has always been a driving force in my life, and my love for the arts extends beyond the realm of hair. I have a keen interest in exploring various artistic mediums, continuously seeking inspiration and expanding my creative horizons.
As a hairstylist, I thrive on building meaningful connections with my clients. Getting to know each individual who sits in my chair is an absolute joy, as it allows me to understand their unique preferences and needs. By actively listening and attentively understanding their desires, I strive to create the perfect solution tailored to their specific vision.
During the early stages of my career, I had the valuable opportunity to manage a wig store. This experience provided me with invaluable knowledge and expertise in working with wigs and hair additions. Even today, you’ll often find me modeling different hairpieces, both within the salon and beyond.
