The story behind us.

 

It begins…

Lori Duong started 5th Avenue Color Company in October 1999 with 20 years experience as a stylist and a strong background in color. Though she started this venture alone, a few stylists joined her on her cosmetology adventures. Lori became one of 20 American Board Certified Hair Colorists in MN. She began to compete in national hair coloring and styling contests, winning or placing in 14 of them. Later Lori become a color educator for Tigi Bedhead. In a ripple effect her stylists were highly trained in coloring, cutting and styling. EDUCATION, QUALITY PRODUCTS, AND CUSTOMER SERVICE BECAME THE FOCUS OF THE SALON. We pride ourselves on the large inventory of color that we carry to meet all needs. This is not the end, we are evolving and changing consistently. Today we are emphasizing on hair growth and organic products. Over the years we have created a fun and casual atmosphere, yet when it comes to our work we aim for precision and professionalism. Most importantly we strive to give our clients the best possible care through teamwork, compassion and integrity.
