Lancer Forney has 20 years of salon experience and approaches every haircut and color with a systematic and calculated technique. He maintains a friendly and open rapport with his customers and begins every appointment with a consultation to understand his clients’ needs. From this he develops a plan that translates into awesome hair. He strives to make every visit to Emerson Salon both memorable and positive.
Lancer began his stylist career as an assistant at Frazzle, a high end salon in Ohio, in 1990. He settled in Seattle in 1999 to expand his coloring skills via advanced training at the Gene Juarez ATS. Looking for a salon to call home, Lancer has worked at several Seattle hair salons before finding Emerson Salon where he has worked since its opening in August of 2008. Many of Lancer’s clients have followed him throughout his journey and have been loyal to him for more than a decade.
When cutting hair, Lancer considers the individual. He works with the hair that presents itself; navigating through problem areas and taming unruly locks with ease. In March of 2010, Lancer completed a two day precision cutting class at the Sassoon Academy where he further refined his cuttting skills. He combines his precision cutting, texturizing, and razoring techniques to give each client a unique look!
Lancer’s coloring skills are top notch. He can do everything from subtle grey-blending to creating beautiful shades among every color in the color wheel. In the end, his colors suit each client perfectly.
