Susan Little reunites with mentors, the Chadwicks, at Hanna Salon in Bonsall

BONSALL – Successful stylist and previous salon owner Susan Little has reunited with her mentors, John and Suzanne Chadwick, and joined Hanna Salon in Bonsall's River Village.

Little uprooted herself from her home and a long, successful career owning a salon in Ann Arbor, Mich. last May to fulfill a dream of living in Fallbrook with her husband, Rob Walker, who is originally from the area.

When she finished remodeling their home in Rainbow, she set her sights on finding a new opportunity in her craft. After joining the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce, Little started asking people where the best place would be for her to "land" and by accident she found her earliest professional mentors, whom she studied under in 1978 in New York City, John and Suzanne Chadwick, who manage Hanna Salon in Bonsall.

"You can imagine my amazement to find John and Suzanne in Fallbrook/Bonsall!" said Little. "I had no idea I would ever have a chance to work side by side with two of the most celebrated hairstylists in the industry."

Little holds two advanced degrees from Vidal Sassoon’s North American Academy in Toronto among many. She is highly gifted in the art of listening to clients' needs and is expert in all kinds of hair coloring, hair cutting, and difficult or curly hair.

Recently, Little was the first in the area to understand and adopt a fantastic new hair care product line founded by Michael Gordon (of Bumble & Bumble fame), called HAIRSTORY. A firm believer that shampoo containing detergent (lather) is unhealthy, and only facilitates the need for expensive masks to correct damage, HAIRSTORY’S shampoo called NEW WASH cleanses hair with fatty acids from essential oils and does not disrupt natural body in the hair or dry it out. It is especially beneficial in arid climates such as California, may be used on all hair types, and is available at Hanna Salon in Bonsall.
