Meet Us!

In 1980, with Stephen’s incredible talent as a Hair Designer and Susan’s love and background in business, they decided to take on the challenge of opening up their own salon. Pharaoh’s Hairum opened with only three employees working in just 600 square feet of space!

In 1988, they opened the first children’s specialty haircut department called “Little Tut’s Cuts Children’s Salon”. In 1991, they expanded into a second location in the Town of Pittsford, and in 1992, a third location was opened in a building they purchased in the City of Rochester on Meigs Street. In 1995, they combined the City location’s business into the Henrietta location and remodeled the entire building into a salon and spa. They determined that, to ensure their excellent customer service goals, it would be more attainable with two larger locations rather than three. In 2001, they moved their Pittsford location into the Town of Fairport at Packett’s Landing on the canal and doubled their space, adding another separate spa department.

Stephen and Susan also feel it’s important for a successful business to give back to the community and help make a positive difference. They have raised money for over 15 water tanks for Uganda Water Project, support local food cupboards, and provide several other local charities with raffle gift cards, etc. They also help to raise money for the desperate struggling animal rescue organizations in Jamaica and locally.

Today, Pharaoh’s Hairum has over 30 employees and has been recognized throughout the years with awards in Total Look and other hair competitions, Salon Today 200, D&C Rochester’s Choice Awards, Nextdoor Favorites, Rochester’s top 20 Salons, and Three Best Rated Salons. Stephen has been a platform artist for various salon manufacturers. His work has been displayed on New York City’s Mariott Marquis, and he has been recognized with the Master of The Craft Award from the Art & Fashion Group International.
