Shear Art Salon attains Redken Elite Status

Tampa, FL November 1, 2008 – Shear Art Salon & Spa has attained Elite Salon status and will now exclusively carry Redken 5th Avenue NYC fashion-driven, technologically-advanced professional hair salon products.

Elite Salons are salons that have achieved the highest level of the program.

Redken's Club 5th Avenue is a program designed to provide salons with exciting rewards and effective tools to grow their business, like education to further develop staff, product samples to drive retail business, electronics to modernize operations, advertising to attract new clients and NYC-inspired fashions to urbanize style.

"One of the biggest benefits of an Elite Salon is the ability to focus all of their energy and education on a single product line. This allows the staff to have an exceptional understanding of the products they're working with on a daily basis which enables them to deliver superior services to clients. Many times salons carry several lines and the knowledge base is that much weaker because the education is spread among many brands instead of just focusing on one," explains John Woloshyn, Senior Vice President of Sales.

Shear Art Salon and Spa opened on April 15, 1986 with 450 square feet in the heart of Carrollwood Village. Twenty three years, six expansions, 60 employees, and 5,000 square feet later, Shear Art is a fixture in the Carrollwood community.

Redken 5th Avenue NYC balances its solid past of science with inspiration from the industry's best educators and a street sense of fashion that keeps Redken on the cutting edge.
