LUNATIC FRINGE HISTORY

Lunatic Fringe Salon was founded in 1999 by two young hairdressers, Shawn Trujillo, and Angie Katsanevas. The couple started their journey in a 700 square foot salon in Salt Lake City. After many years of working in salons, the partners knew it was time to start a salon that shared their vision. They dreamed their salon would be filled with passionate and innovative team members.

Their goal was to create a culture that put people and team first and provided a path to creating a successful and prosperous career. They envisioned a salon filled with creative artists who were passionate about their craft and their business.
This was unique, almost revolutionary, and they believed the salon needed a name to reflect their intention, and the Lunatic Fringe Salon revolution began.
Over 20 years later, Lunatic Fringe culture still rests on its five core values—discipline, excellence, growth mindset, team culture, and education. It is one of the nation’s finest talent networks. With 8 NAHA victories and multiple national and international publications, the partners’ passion for evolving the industry continues to thrive.
