✨Meet James Van — one of our Runway Ready Backstage Artists!✨
After joining us for 5+ seasons, James has officially reached our top tier level in the Runway Ready program 👏

With 5 years behind the chair at Salon 1322 (Belmont, CA) and jamesvdoeshair , James brings not only incredible skill but also a ray of sunshine wherever he goes ☀️ His positive, fun, and uplifting energy lights up every backstage moment!

His biggest takeaway from working behind the scenes?
💡 “Always have a backup plan. We use hairsprays instead of mousse, gel, or pomade because UNITE’s dry conditioners and shampoos can break those down — letting us return the hair to its starting point.”

We’re so proud to celebrate James and his amazing journey with us and to have him a member of the team ⚡️
