JOE MURRAY   Joe started styling as a way to pay for his fine arts studies in college.  His background in art led to a unique approach to hair.  Photographers and designers noticed his singular creativity early on and he was enlisted to work on many advertising and editorial photo shoots.  During that time he also created many looks for the fashion runways of New York.   But Joe, in taking a holistic look at his own life, realized that he felt more fulfilled in the salon.

Early in his career, Joe discovered he had a chemical sensitivity.  During that time, he worked for many traditional salons but could not deny that his reactions were worsening.   As a result, he searched for a cleaner working environment.  That search led him to join the staff at the John Masters Organic Salon.

When Masters' Salon closed, Joe sought to expand the concept of a clean-air environment on his own.  With that in mind, Joe built Hale, where the motto is "As Chemically Free as We Can Be."  Joe believes that there are enough environmental stresses in the world already.  He is committed to helping his clients find a cleaner alternative for keeping their hair beautiful.
