Bio
Lancer Forney, aka Hair Guy Lancer, has been doing hair nationally since 1990. He has continually improved his skills in hair cutting and coloring. He moved from S.E. Alaska to Seattle in 1999 to escape “hair don’t” boredom and the desire to expand his creativity and diversify his clientele. Prior to Emerson Salon, Lancer worked at Pandemos Salon for 2 and 1/2 years alongside Rusty Jones, as an independent hair stylist.

Lancer’s hair cutting specialties range from military-style clipper cuts (fades, flattops, high-n-tights) to ultra-texturized medium-length and long hair do’s utilizing point cutting, razor, and other specialized cutting techniques. He can also do a blunt cut, wedge, a trim, a bob, etc.

Lancer’s coloring skills are top notch. He can do everything from subtle grey-blending (you look younger with a little less gray…sort of like going back in time a bit!) to bright crayon colored faux hawks and everything in between. Whatever your color and cut needs are for your work and your lifestyle, Lancer can help create a look for you!
