Team Fringe talks to PENTA Cosmetology Students

The students listening quietly.

Team Fringe visited with PENTA Cosmetology students on Monday September 17th and spoke about the training Carrie went through and how she grew her business.  Marchelle spoke about Paul Mitchell and how she has grown to become a National Color Educator and how she continues to set goals for herself.  Chris touched base about how Team Fringe uses the web to market our business.


The students were very quiet and listened intently during the presentation.  Lots of questions were asked about ways to market themselves, the types of salons they wanted to work with/for, the type of education available, and the benefits of Paul Mitchell products.


Marchelle captivated the students with her personal experiences and her determination to succeed in this industry.  Carrie provided much needed wisdom into opening up your own salon and how to run a business.  Chris talked about the many types of marketing and ways to promote themselves.

Team Fringe touched base with the students about Martino Cartier and Maryanne & Friends which we talked about in a previous blog here.  Breast cancer has touched many lives including those personally known to Carrie and the rest of Team Fringe.


The presentation was a success and Fringe has been asked to return to provide a hair cutting demonstration in a few weeks.  We hope you are looking forward to that demonstration as much as we are!  There will be many pictures of the demonstration for you all to see!

Maryanne & Friends

Hello everyone!  Fringe by Carrie Salon Studio is very excited to share with you this new network of salons that we have joined with!  Fringe by Carrie has teamed up with Martino Cartier and Maryanne & Friends, and is "united in their mission to ease the stress and pain felt by women battling cancer and suffering from hair loss."  Fringe by Carrie is now the only salon in the Toledo area to be included in this fantastic cause!

Please read on for more information about Maryanne & Friends:

"Maryanne and Friends is a consortium of Beauty Industry Leaders, Salon Owners and Stylists committed to donating much needed hair replacement and styling services to women undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Celebrity Stylist, television personality and salon owner Martino Cartier is the founder of Maryanne and Friends. Martino was deeply touched and inspired by his dear friend, Maryanne McCormick’s brave fight against and triumph over breast cancer. Through watching her cope with the process, he realized how many women needed the opportunity to feel in control of their appearance (and feel better about themselves) during treatment.

By watching women going through treatment, he realized how difficult it could be for many to afford hair replacement. He also discovered how hard it could be to get funding for hair replacement through other organizations or insurance companies. Martino believes every woman undergoing breast cancer treatment is entitled to receive the care and comfort offered by Maryanne and Friends without paying a fee. That is why members of Maryanne and Friends are committed to providing these free services to all women irrespective of their financial circumstances."


Please visit Maryanne & Friends for more information or to find a salon near you.


Fringe by Carrie is very happy to provide this service to women suffering from hair loss from breast cancer at no cost to the guest.
