Innovative Educator
John Atchison is a renowned hairstylist and educator who is highly regarded in the international hairstyling community. Throughout his career, Atchison has been a passionate advocate of continual training and has been instrumental in educating stylists to develop their haircutting skills. His business philosophy is built on teamwork, and he started by educating his own staff when he opened his New York salon in 1976.
Atchison’s career began at Vidal Sassoon's in New York and London, where he honed his craft and became a master at precision haircutting and styling. He dedicated himself to perfecting his technique and developed the John Atchison Method of precision haircutting for all textures of hair, which has earned him a reputation as a leading hairstylist.
His expertise and demand for his services led him to open a second salon in Los Angeles, where he became known as the "hairstylist to the stars," creating signature coiffures for some of the most recognized celebrities. However, his dedication to educating stylists led him to return to New York, where he presently operates.
Atchison is sought after to teach at major hair shows nationwide and has built up an excellent reputation as a creative and distinguished entrepreneur over his 25-year career. He established a training center for industry professionals, where he has trained hundreds of stylists from around the world in precision haircutting techniques for all textures of hair. His concept has elevated precision haircutting to the forefront of the hair industry, and he remains deeply committed to educating hair care professionals.
