Mary's Work
Mary Anne Joseph-Nanney, co-owner and founder of Willow Creek Salon, started her career in the salon industry in 1982 working for the Macy’s company salon. While working there she trained with Adrien Arpel, a legend in the cosmetics industry. Mary Anne continued training with several leading beauty companies such as: CLS Academy, Matrix Co., Irvine Rusk, the Alfa Parf team in Milan, Italy and Redkin Fifth Avenue in New York City. In no time Mary Anne’s career as a stylist took off. After Macy’s she joined a well-established salon in Sylvania Ohio, and continued training in New York City, Detroit, and Chicago. As her career matured Mary Anne used her artistic background in fine art to advance her skills in styling
In 1985 only three years after starting her career, Mary Anne decided to open her first salon. In 1990-91 she built the 6407 Monroe Street building where the first Willow Creek Salon was established. Mary Anne continued running the salon and raising her two daughters as a single mother. In 2003 she chose to sell the salon and went back to pursue her studies in fine art. She made four trips to Italy for her fine arts education, while helping both her daughters through college, and continuing her education in the styling world.
Mary Anne’s personal life is her family, faith, traveling and art.
Mary offers the highest level of cutting, styling, color, and make up artistry to her clients. With 30+ years in the industry she still finds her work as enjoyable as ever. Mary’s goal, in addition to styling great hair, was to create an environment that emulates a retreat atmosphere of peace and serenity and extreme artistry, which is an essential part of the beauty package. It is important to her to have a positive and uplifting atmosphere for all of Willow Creek clients as well as a growth oriented space for the stylists and employees. With her immense experience, Mary continues to train the next generation of stylists and professionals in this industry.
