SJ Establishment’s own Sam James is the only Aussie to be recognised by acclaimed international hair awards group AIPP after being named one of the global Top 3 for 2022 in the category of Avant-Garde.
This latest accolade follows on from a phenomenally successful 3 years since opening her Prospect, Adelaide salon which has seen numerous award wins, considerable industry attention and a quickly growing team.
Sam is renowned for her work both in Australia and London over the past 17 years, her key role as an education visionary, her 4 time Hair Expo SA Hairdresser of the Year awards and her current role as SJ Establishment Director.
The AIPP (Association Internationale Presse Professionnelle Coiffure) was established in 1964 by several publishers of professional magazines and today it assembles more than 40 magazines representing the best trade publications addressed to hairdressers throughout the world.
The AIPP awards draw the best of the best and Sam being placed as a Runner-up to global industry icon and award winner Angelo Seminara in this hotly contested category was a dream come true for this ambitious creative.
SJ Establishment is a calming space, where clients are surrounded by highly skilled and award-winning stylists on a journey from curiosity and excitement to relaxation and confidence.
With an emphasis on the highest standard of education and commitment to evolution, consistency and excellent technique flow through all stylists.
It has very quickly become the new go to Salon for the thriving local community of Adelaide’s bustling Prospect Road, and has already been recognised as 2020 Newcomer Salon Business of the Year, and taken out AHIA Creative Team of the Year 2021 and AHIA SA/TAS Hairdresser of the Year 2021.
Sam’s high standards have seen her develop a leading reputation as one of the most innovative, award-winning hair stylists and businesswomen in Adelaide.
As a result, she is also the “go-to” stylist for visiting celebrities including Bambi Northwood Blyth, Samara Weaving, and Ruby Rose to name a few.
Sam has spent over a decade touring Australia and overseas, educating and inspiring many hairdressers as a Creative Artist– one of her key passions and driving forces behind her success and also made it successfully to the Top 3 Finalists for the 2016 Telstra Young Business Women of the Year award.
Sam’s work behind the scenes at fashion and campaign shoots is legendary and her editorial work has been published in national and international magazines including InStyle and HairBiz as well as Mexican, American, British and South African publications.
