The trainer
Nancy Falaise
Nancy Falaise has over 20 years of experience as a hairdresser. For the past 10 years, she has been dedicated soley to styling textured hair. Working in close collaboration with Tribus Urbaines, she is knowledgeable about all types of textured hairstyles thanks to a wide range of hair experiments she carries out on her own head as well as on the heads of her female clients with curly, frizzy and kinky hair types in her salon in Montreal. Her extensive experience in shaping curly hair, her high-level of expertise, and her continuous training promted her to launch an individual line of environmentally safe and client-friendly products designed for curly, frizzy and kinky hair.
Nancy’s desire to share her acquired know-how and professional approach to caring for textured hair inspired her to establish her own hairdressing academy as well as to take her knowledge on the road. Today, when she is not busy in shaping hair in Quebec, Nancy travels to other parts of the world to work, teach and share her approach.
Furthermore, having been an important proponent of the integration of textured hair care, cutting and styling techniques into national hairdressing schools in Quebec, Nancy Falaise was awarded, by the Government of Quebec, a mandate to create specialised coursebooks and propose her own national curriculum.
Nancy Falaise is one of our main partners for the professional training of our staff, and other hairdressers from the region.
