Traci Sakosits was always fascinated by fashion ‘‘I grew up in East Coast
New Jersey in a room full of fashion magazines, stacks and stacks of them.’’
Fresh out of high school she joined the family business where she developed
quite a passion for haircutting. Traci started her training at Sassoon’s New
York in 1992, where her talents were soon recognized and she moved swiftly
up the ranks. She transferred to the Beverley Hills salon as a stylist in 1994
and was promoted to Assistant Creative Director by 1996, finally moving to
the Sassoon Academy in Santa Monica in 1997.

She had found her vocation, ‘‘it was my experience at the Academy that
made me want to teach. I loved the idea of carrying the Sassoon knowledge
on.’’
She is now Creative Director | Sassoon Academy | North America, based in
the Sassoon Academy, LA ensuring that there is absolute consistency in
education across the cities of Toronto, Miami, San Francisco and Chicago
whilst organizing and developing her team. It’s a job that involves extensive
travel both nationally and internationally, spreading the word about the
Sassoon methodology - as she modestly puts it, ‘‘I have a small hand in
bettering the industry as a whole’’ |
