Humble Beginnings
Chez Ziane
It All Started At Home…
For over a decade Ziane worked from her home-based salon, Chez Ziane. On one faithful day Ziane came across the Deva Cut which became the catalyst to creating Chez Soi. She was inspired to create an environment where she can work with other stylists, to share what she has learned. To further reinforce Ziane’s vision, she also attended a business course in Connecticut where she was taught a team-based model of ownership. Chez Soi is unique from other salons in that each member works together as a team to create a supportive and friendly environment.
Over the years, Chez Soi has evolved and with each new stylist that joins the team, new ideas and inspirations are incorporated. The Chez Soi team believes strength is found in the joining of minds and uses a collaborative approach for innovation to ensure only the highest quality services are
continuously offered to the clients.
Ziane Stanley – Founder
So this is me…
My first memory of cutting Hair is when I am between the ages of 10-12 years old. I’m sitting on the bathroom vanity, my feet in the sink, watching my mom cut her own hair. She asked me if I would help her cut the back. I was so excited to pick up the scissors and give it a try. My mom taught herself how to cut hair with kitchen shears, she is my first teacher. I spent hours watching her cut and perm the hair of friends and family. The good old Toni perm. By the time I was in junior high I was cutting my brothers hair and perming the hair of my girlfriends, my first victims lol. In grade 12 I actually had a few repeat customers that would come home on the bus for their appointments.
CREDENTIALS
I attended my first hair cutting class in grade 10, attended Marvel Academy right out of high school and began my professional career immediately after that. It’s been 33 years and education has been ongoing. One of my most memorable seminars was with Paul Mitchell in Los Angeles soon after starting my first job. Then most recently I have attended the Deva Academy in New York returning 3 times to achieve certification in cutting curly hair.
Blessed
I feel extremely blessed to have such a wonderful job. My passion for this industry has not faded but in fact it is probably stronger now then ever, I am so excited to continue to share this passion with my clients at my new location, Chez Soi 1912, and to bring inspiration as well as be inspired with those who would like to join me to create this team. Chez Soi means “at home” and I hope to make this salon a place where everyone feels comfortable and welcome, a place where everyone, clients and staff, look forward to spending some time.
