Coors hits local beauty scene

The
ical hair salon is a mixture o f maga
zines, hair dryers and the fumes o f
chemicals that curl, relay or tint our
hair. A new environment for hair is
being created for the Pacific North
west by Butch Coors. 26. Ou, o f Los
Angeles, Coors is introducing a d if
ferent concept in personal care. “ I
would like everyone to know that I
can do Black hair. When my re
sponse came in from the ad I placed
in The Observer, some o f the people
would get turned o ff because we
d on 't have a Black operator, yet.
But I ’ ve worked on Diana Ross and
other Black entertainers at Jon
Peters Salon in H ollyw ood. So I
have the experience. We don't be
lieve in pressing hair. It doesn't have
to be dealt with in that way. You
know it never made sense to me that
you press the hair to take the natural
curl out and then put a curl back in.
A ll that it requires is a relaxcr.”
Coors stays away from the tradi
tio na l textbook cuts and prefers
creating a design to fi, the in d iv i
dual. " I never name my hair cuts.
Once I know the length a person
wants I would give a cu, that looks
right fo r the person. Sometimes
you’ll get a cut that looks bad. This
is because you're not getting a cut
that works for you. I want to bring
out the beauty o f people by just en
hancing what they have.”
Coors stated that he was tired o f
the fast pace that puts the H olly in
Hollywood. ' 'There's a lot o f pres
sure and com petition in L A. I t ’ s
emotionally draining and you find
that not very many people do it for a
long time because it burns you out. I
came to P ortland before I got
burned out and I love it here.
I here s a pot o f gold here because
it s easier to start a business here be
cause o f the economic structure o f
the city. We offer talent and creativ
ity at an affordable price.”
O riginally his desire lay in pre-
med but later he switched to hair de
signing. Coors is also the make-up
man for the publicity o f the P ort
land Opera.
” We cater to everyone. A fter we
analyze a person's lifestyle to create
what’s right and fits their needs. We
sell a feeling. A lot o f times we get
so wrapped up in this rat-race o f 9
to 5 we forget to give ourselves the
best. I want people to take the time
to pamper themselves.”
The Butch Coors experience is
created with haircuts, manicures
and pedicures, make-up classes and
tints. He indicated that people are
responsive and expects his 3-person
staff to increase with demand. He
offers his customers a chance to
bring their beauty out, along with a
sensation that’s worth feeling.
