Nominated for 2010’s Best of Western Washington award by Evening Magazine, Angelo Mendi Boutique Salon owner John Bolton crafts personalized hairdos with a house-created cutting technique rarely found in the Pacific Northwest. Dedicated to spreading their trimming skills, John and his team of stylists tour New York, Beverly Hills, and other cities teaching their modern approach to haircare and gleaning further knowledge. When not globetrotting, the hair gurus remain nestled in Tacoma’s Stadium district, employing a stable of Enjoy products to foil, highlight, and craft specialty coifs. Consultations before cuts survey client preferences, and each stylist spouts after-cut tips to ensure effective at-home styling and to keep the endangered hairstylist language alive.
