Inside The Foundry: Making One of the Best Salons in New Braunfels

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When hair stylists Craig Cobb and Corbin Shullanberger first teamed up over 17 years ago, they brought their combined talents to one mission: making a better salon. Competing in a crowded field of hair salons in New Braunfels meant creating and delivering an unparalleled experience for guests at The Foundry Salon. What has been the key to that?

On the surface, it might seem that a sparkling new industrial-themed facility opened in 2017 was the tipping point for The Foundry. No doubt, it’s a state-of-the-art salon. It features 20 stylist chairs including both full-service women’s and men’s styling and traditional men’s barbering, a wash lounge with 9 chairs for shampooing and mini-facials, and a large, open color lab where guests can see firsthand how Organic Pure Care colorings are formulated. In an open reception area, guests can enjoy a beverage while browsing a selection of hair care and styling products.

From the start, Craig and Corbin shared a different vision, one bigger than even the Texas-sized facility they now call home. They have an unwavering commitment to finding, cultivating, and mentoring up-and-coming stylists. The new, larger home of The Foundry Salon is really a place to bring together the best stylists in New Braunfels under one roof, where they can all learn from each other with access to the best techniques and products.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3856″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]What sets The Foundry apart from other salons in New Braunfels is the team of stylists delivering the guest experience. New stylists are carefully selected in a New Talent Program, with a session starting this September, where Craig and Corbin can see firsthand how candidates learn and interact over the course of several days of instruction. Stylists also participate in ongoing team learning with guest instructors brought in to illustrate techniques. Additionally, stylists often donate efforts to community events.
