Founded in 1971, Gene Juarez Salons & Spas has been the definitive authority on hair, beauty and wellness in the Pacific Northwest and the name Gene Juarez is internationally recognized for being synonymous with outstanding artistic excellence. The success of our students and our education program is due to the investment we make in our educators under the Gene Juarez brand. To stay current on trends and technique as well as teaching methods, they continually train and develop both personally and professionally.
I find the graduates from the Gene Juarez Academy to be well educated, professional and ready to go in a salon atmosphere. Because of the outstanding curriculum they have developed, the students have a great foundation and work ethic that I'm looking for in an employee.
