Bill Trotter has been a professional hair stylist and colorist for twenty-five years. He was raised in this region but trained and worked in very high pressure salons in New York for most of his career. He returned to this area where he could continue his artistic craft as well as work as a platform artist and as a stylist for national photo shoots.

"The complaints I heard in New York or other larger salons were about terrible parking and primarily about the lack of attention. It was time to round up my clients to bring to my own studio. What I do is all about developing someone’s personal style."

Bill Trotter IS Shag. "People are spending more and more for the best care and style and they want personal service." This sets Shag apart from other salons.

"After twenty-five years in the business, I no longer work well with others." It was time to create his own studio and give his clients the time and attention that they deserve. "If you have a high pressure life, you need a salon where you can decompress." Bill almost pursued a career as a stand up comic, so if you need a laugh, he’s your guy.

About Shag's martini bar Bill likes to say, "Give a woman twenty minutes and a martini and you’re dealing with a different woman." He knows how a woman spends a long day fighting traffic, meeting a deadline at work or surviving as a mother of two. "After a martini you’re just dealing with the woman."
