MEET LISA GREGORY

Born and raised in England, Lisa Gregory has always been passionate about hair and design. As a young girl, she loved drawing and playing with dolls' hair. Her journey began at 15 when she started as a Saturday shampoo girl. She then embarked on an apprenticeship with the Richardson Group, a salon group of almost 100 hairstylists and five salons. Her training was based on the Vidal Sassoon philosophies, regularly attending the Sassoon academies in London.

ABOUT HAIRLAB-UK &
LISA GREGORY

Global Hair &
Fashion Experience

Lisa worked her way up to the Creative Director position, where she was involved in training and session photography, leading to nominations for the prestigious English Hairdresser of the Year awards. She also worked with Wella International at their London studio on shows and photography, with her work published in various magazines.

Lisa's passion for traveling with her scissors took her to Bermuda and later to Australia, where she met her husband, Kelly. This eventually led her to Missoula, Montana, USA. Over the years, she built up a vast clientele and became involved with Graham Webb International. This renowned hairdresser collaborated with a marketing mogul to create a team of stylists spreading the word about foundational hair cutting and a great product line. Lisa traveled for over a decade with the Graham Webb team, doing hair show conventions and teaching at the San Diego and New York academies.

She then worked with TIGI Hair International, but her traveling took a backseat when she became a mom to her son, Jett. Lisa's next venture was opening her own salon, FABRiK SALON, in downtown Missoula. She built a strong team of 14 stylists, ranging from apprentices to advanced stylists. During this busy time of building the brand, managing the salon, being behind the chair, and being a mom, Lisa still found time to express her artistic side. She met and collaborated with Danielle Ford, sharing a love for creating seasonal collections. This collaboration led to hair/editorial collections being published multiple times a year in various art, fashion, and photography magazines worldwide.

After a decade of establishing the FABRiK SALON brand, Lisa passed the "crown" in 2023, selling the salon to Kitty Youngquist, a fellow stylist with a dream of owning a hair extension salon. Thus, Mirror Mirror was born within FABRiK SALON, a unique concept of two salons in one.

A Bit More About Lisa Gregory

This transition allowed Lisa to refocus on sharing her love of hair education and engaging more in the creative elements of hair photography and traveling. Her "hair bucket list" includes doing runway hair for NYC and Paris Fashion Weeks. She will return to Florence, Italy, this September 24 to join her longtime friend and hair mentor, Francesca Rivetti, a classically trained and creative award-winning NAHA winner, for a week of Creative Hair Week - EAT-PLAY-LEARN. This event involves a week of art and creativity with an intimate group of hair stylists, culminating in an Avant Garde photoshoot with the goal of having the collection published.

Lisa's next goal is to host a similar event in the majestic Big Sky, Montana, inspiring a small group of stylists to bring out their creative side. Francesca and Lisa also created a stylist toolkit belt this year, RESET/HAIRLAB.UK, an essential kit for everything a stylist needs to create a classic foundational haircut. Both are passionate about teaching young and established stylists.

When Lisa Gregory isn't thinking about hair (which isn't often!), she loves working out, hiking, and biking in the warmer months, and spending time with family and friends at her lake place. She enjoys cooking healthy dishes (often inspired by Instagram recipes) and making fun cocktails for her girlfriends. Hair, family, friends, travel, fashion, art, and design are some of her top faves in life. Always looking for inspiration and fun, she finds these in her fellow mentor hairstylists, friends, and the people she meets during her travels – they feed her soul and energy.

This next chapter in Lisa's career is exciting and just starting.

"Lisa has been an incredible mentor and teacher to me at Fabrik Salon. When I first started working here, I had zero confidence behind the chair.

However, Lisa welcomed me with open arms and provided me with extensive training and support. She always took the time to explain techniques and offer constructive feedback, which greatly boosted my confidence.

Thanks to HAIRLAB-UK's technical teaching and guidance through hair training, I have grown tremendously as a stylist over the years. I am grateful for Lisa's belief in me and her unwavering support, which has helped me become the skilled and confident stylist I am today!"

-Brooke

"Lisa, with HAIRLAB-UK, is an amazing human being and touches base with what we are first of all, as stylists, which is human. Making sure the clients are comfortable and how best to care for them to give them that luxury salon experience.

Lisa is the most knowledgeable and caring stylist I have ever met. Her desire to know as much as she can about hair care and cutting/coloring skills is equal if not more than my own.

I like to think about where I would be without her. I wouldn't have even close to the knowledge of skills or management/organization."

-Boone G
