Ratner Companies started with one salon and two Stylists back in 1974. Dennis Ratner was an up-and-coming hairdresser working in his father's Louis salon in Washington, D.C. It was the beginning of a new era, and Dennis envisioned a unisex salon convenient for the whole family. Over dinner with then-wife and fellow Stylist Ann, Dennis sketched on a cocktail napkin a business plan that laid the groundwork for the first Hair Cuttery salon.

Artistic Team and models at the 2003 Midwest Beauty Show

February, 2004 - Hair Cuttery was all the buzz at last year’s Chicago Midwest Beauty Show. Stylists and industry representatives flocked to the salon’s stage to check out styles that ranged from chic to avante guarde.

This year, Hair Cuttery’s Artistic Team is back, with five great shows and a new makeup segment designed to motivate, entertain and arouse the creative spirit. Inspired by the hit movie trilogy The Matrix, the shows feature 40 models dressed to kill, with hair that’s sleek in design and vibrant in color, punctuated by no-nonsense choreography and club music.

But, says Hair Cuttery’s International Artistic Leader Shannon King, the entire repertoire has a larger message.

“The characters in The Matrix move from one world to another. We’ve created three distinct worlds in each of our shows. There’s the Real World, with wearable every day styles, The Matrix, with cool, urban designs and Zion, where fantasy is king. Hairdressers strive to live in all three, and we say, why not?”

Some highlights from the Hair Cuttery stage this year will be the “Reloaded” show, featuring fashionable trend-driven looks, “Zion,” showcasing fantasy styles, the ever-popular men’s designs—this year themed “The Agents”—and “The Real World”, a hands-on experience where audience members can join Hair Cuttery’s 22 performing artists on stage to help create the looks.

Working the Midwest Beauty Show is something that Hair Cuttery’s Artistic Team looks forward to every year, King says. “This is our fourth year doing a stage show at Midwest, and it gets bigger and better every year. It’s a great opportunity to show the industry that Hair Cuttery is committed to creative freedom, and it’s motivating for all of the performing artists, too. They’re all great stylists who happen to be natural-born performers, too.”

Come check out Hair Cuttery’s “The Matrix” at the Chicago Midwest Beauty Show at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL, Saturday, Feb. 28 through Monday, March 1. Hair Cuttery’s performers will be at booth number 2037.
