We uplift hairstylists
Who would you be
if you had this entire
team behind you?
In 2011, Lorean Cairns, one of NYC’s top in demand hairstylists, and Billy Canu, a marketing mastermind who had cooked up his first successful business in his early 20’s, connected over a common vibe. Their shared values and sense of community was clear from day one and together, they began pouring their hearts and minds into a business model of their own. Having worked in every type of NYC salon, Lorean still couldn’t find one that felt like home. Creating a like-minded community based on fun, real progress, goal setting and an unstoppable drive for team success in a setting that wasn’t only chill and beautiful, but highly approachable was the secret combination to Cairns’ vision… Together, these partners turned best friends were not only able to create a space that finally felt right, but an entire community that flourishes to this day, 150 teammates strong and growing.
Driven to empower, innovate and uplift the modern beauty industry, Lorean, Billy, and the rest of the Behind the Scenes Crew provide a community experience unlike any other. Through personalized business coaching, continuous education, and a close-knit support system, this top performing industry powerhouse focuses on creating an environment that encourages growth and promotes successful careers. Achieving your goals and taking control of your limitless potential has never felt more like home!

Who would you be
if you had this entire
team behind you?
Lorean and Billy met in 2011. A business oriented hairstylist and a marketing genius who connected from day one with a set of morals and values that they have always agreed upon and poured into their business. Having worked in every type of salon that NYC had to offer Lorean couldn’t find the one that felt like home. With Billy’s help she created her own not knowing at the time that it would be home to many, stylists and clients alike
With the values in place, the vibe on point and the community ever expanding, a strong journey has just started. As a multi-location salon group, the company, the stylists and team behind the scenes have worked hard to make this top performing industry powerhouse a staple in the hair and business community. From what we can tell, this is only the beginning!

Jenny Jacome
As a 10 year sole proprietor of a growing salon in New Jersey, Jenny felt as though she didn’t have the proper tools to become the leader she was meant to be. Not long after attending a Fox & Jane Studio Workshop, Jenny noticed that Lorean was on the look out for driven business owners who shared similar core values. It was then that Jenny realized that this was her chance to achieve her goals and with the support of an entire community and bring a shared vision of success to her hair stylists in New Jersey.

Creating a strong and healthy foundation to a new area is the key to success, community, and profitability. Bringing the Fox & Jane Group concept to the Denver region was no exception, and it’s clear that, by reaching major goals within six months of opening, this regional partnership will last for years to come.

Alison Campbell
Beginning her Fox & Jane journey in 2012 in the Lower East Side, Alison Campbell was drawn to the salon environment driven by mentorship and culture, and wanted to be a part of what we were building. Alison quickly built a thriving stylist business and became a top earner for our group, but was eager for more! She began coaching and mentoring assistants promoting growth of their skill sets and creating demand in their business, taking her and the salon’s achievements to the next level. We are thrilled to make her dream of living a more balanced present life, while still being a boss at work come true with the launch of our Red Bank, NJ salon!

Are you our next partner?
Ready to join a community that’s got your back?
Here’s the deal. Being a small business owner is the type of hard work that can only be done when your love for the project is outweighed by all the hurdles. That’s where we come in. Billy & Lorean realize that success often lies in the talents and skills of those you surround yourself with, not only in the hands of one person running on empty – as is so commonly the role of a sole proprietor.
By joining forces with this dynamic community you are allowing yourself & your business to not be the only expert in the room. Instead, we pair your business with access to coaching & development, further education, HR, legal, and accounting services, and operations and development plans just for you. Stop the guesswork and exhaustion. Level up by relieving yourself of the burden of doing it all alone! #letsbuildsomethingbeautifultogether
