 Franz Sigel Shroy "Sigel" Sigel's Blog mEtApHoRiK's mInD "LOVE what you do or do something else!" I haven't much faith in the man who complains Of the work he has chosen to do. He's lazy, or else he's deficient in brains, And, maybe, a hypocrite, too. He's likely to cheat and he's likely to rob; Away with the man who finds fault with his job. But give me the man with the sun in his face, And the shadows all dancing behind; Who can meet his reverses with calmness and grace, And never forgets to be kind; For whether he's wielding a scepter or swab, I have faith in the man who's in love with his job.

Sigel
got his start in the beauty business in 1979 by being intrigued by his
hairdresser’s (Billy Shears) car collection and has been involved in
many different facets of this fascinating industry ever since. Sigel
has managed and/or owned several beauty salons and several hair care
and skin care product lines over the years and has started several
salons and even a school from the ground up. These various businesses
range in size from one 7-stylist salon he started in Seattle during his
“starving artist” years for just $764 which he sold 7 years later for
enough to buy a small house, to his largest beauty business the MetrOasis® Advanced Training Center, a beauty
school which took over $650,000 just to get off the ground. All of these varied experiences uniquely enable him to speak to those involved in any sized beauty business and not just those with giant salon staffs. Sigel started working with Gene Juarez (Seattle, Washington) in the early 80’s, and had held nearly every position available in the beauty industry since then including being a Paul Mitchell educational associate, platform artist and regional perm educator for Paul Mitchell and won the 1989-1990 “Outstanding Contribution to Education” from Paul Mitchell. Sigel is a licensed hairdresser, esthetician and instructor in Alaska. When Sigel started his esthetics program the average Alaska state board esthetician pass rate was just 22% and he quickly developed a program that routinely has pass rates in the high 90’s. Sigel has done hundreds of hair shows and in-salon classes during the past 30 years and is comfortable with small intimate groups of just a few to much larger venues of several hundred to over a thousand people. Sigel is crazy-in-love with his wife Sue who is both his business partner and international traveling companion for some two and a half decades now. Together they enjoy living in the rugged environment of Alaska as well as traveling the world each year where they have been very well trained in the United States, France, Spain, United Kingdom, Canada, and in Italy in hairdressing and skin care. Together they have a passion for family, helping others and keeping up with the latest trends and techniques and are sticklers for maintaining the highest quality and integrity in everything they do. Sigel has traveled extensively for over three decades to gain his education and training, which most recently includes - - 2010 - training in Paris for"Immersion Facials" Paris, France  Sylvie Therry & Vanessa Demarecaux - makeup training, Paris, France Advanced haircutting & styling, chignon, Art Libre Padiglione, Paris, France .Ballmain Hair, hair extensions, Paris, France Dr Marcello Carvalho, LED photomodulation Paris, France Valérie Pretti, caramel waxing Paris, France Georges Margossian, internet branding, internet marketing Paris, France Stephanie & Cedric Benard - Futurism Hairdressing, W4Y Barcelona, Spain  advanced haircutting, Ramiro Mata, Barcelona, Spain training in Radio Frequency Therapy, Barcelona, Spain .
