Eddie Ohanian

Growing up, Eddie got his first inspiration to become a stylist at a photoshoot his uncle was in charge of. Little did he know what opportunities becoming a second generation stylist would hold. That inspiration led him to be on stage performing and representing some of the biggest brands in our industry including Big Sexy, CHI, Wella, Matrix, All-Nutrient, SHE, and OnStage. He has had the incredible opportunity to work alongside and be mentored by some of the industry legends, including Nicholas French, Ian Gavet, Paul Smith, Michael O'Rourke, Nick Arrojo, Sonya Dove, and Farouk to name a few.   Opening and building up a full service 20 chair salon and spa at 21 years old wasn't enough. Within 3 years of opening, he created a full product line and went on to produce a makeover TV show which led him to be recruited by brands. While being on stage at hair shows was fun, Eddie found his passion for the industry in education and business. The challenge of testing products and developing educational programs to help stylist learn how to use and apply those products is really what got him hooked. Eddie has built an incredible teaching foundation over the past 25 years that has motivated and inspired thousands of next generation stylists.
