Allure, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, Town & Country,
Modern Salon--numerous magazines have recognized Gary
Howse as one of America's top hair designers. He's also
received the International Beauty Show (IBS) Award for most
newsworthy hair designer and named one of the 10 most influential salon owners in America by Modern Salon Magazine.
A co-owner and founder of Gary Manuel Salon since 1979, Gary
has been a hair professional since 1976. While studying
chemistry in college, he saw that his creativity could
thrive in the beauty industry. He worked in several
local salons, including Frederick and Nelson, then Seattle's
premier department store. There, Gary met Manuel--Salon
co-founder Manuel Benevich, that is--and together they have
run the Salon for over 30 years.
Gary's talent for styling and fashion is matched
only by an enduring passion for educating and inspiring the
industry's next wave of master designers. Along with
the Salon's Education Leader Tsofia Richter, Gary is deeply
involved in the development of the Salon's seasonal fashion releases as well as making sure the salon's award winning designer training program continues to be one of the country's best.
An energetic and engaged member of the local
community, Gary devotes much of his free time to making
downtown Seattle more livable (he is a co-founder of the
Downtown Seattle Resident's Council) and addressing
AIDS-related causes. As a past Board member of the Lifelong AIDS Alliance he continues to contribute time and resources to this important organization (www.llaa.org).
