MEET CORYN

HI! I'm Coryn – a 22-year-old hairstylist located in Cincinnati, Ohio. 

 In 2023, I decided I wanted to branch out into a different direction within the industry. I LOVE doing hair and always will, but I needed something more.

When I graduated high school back in 2019, it was my goal to attend cosmetology school. From a young age I've loved everything beauty related. When I really started to think about what the future may look like for me, I wasn't sure if cosmetology was even realistic. 

I was born with a disability - Amniotic Band Syndrome. For those of you who may not know what the means, it's when string-like-strands were wrapped around my left hand as my body was developing, leaving me with two fingers to work with.

As I attended my first semester of college, I knew it's not where I was meant to be. I ended up enrolling at my local cosmetology school shortly after the semester ended. My journey at Aveda began in August of 2020. I knew from the beginning that I was going to have to do everything a totally different way than anyone else. I've had to find my own unique way of blowdrying, haircutting, coloring, and foiling. 

With that being said, in the past 3 years of my career, I was willing to do anything to help speed up my timing so I could make this a sustainable career for myself. This is why I created THEMANEFOIL. Foiling was the one thing that I could never increase my timing with, I needed to do something. As I started testing out different foils, I was looking for flexibility and something that wouldn't slip. With my disability, I felt as if I was always having to reinforce my foil work which made the service so much longer than it needed to be. 

I feel as if now, I love everything about doing foil work. It's now easy for me, regardless of the technique I'm using. Our foils are orange peel embossed, perfect for a non-slip application. Each foil comes with a customized design and is the perfect thickness to ensure easy use. 

It's my goal to have a product that is suitable for any stylist. I will continue to test out new things and continue to improve our products to make work easier for each stylist. 

Thank you so much for your support, it means the world.

Xoxo,

Coryn
