Mary & Phillip Wilson I The Wilson Method I The Wilson Collective

Mary Wilson When Mary was seven , she watched her hairdresser Mom cut off her  Grandmother’s long braids and transform her look. She became intrigued  by the power of change that beauty creates. After graduating from  Cosmetology School in her early 20’s, she moved from Iowa to California  and has continued to learn and grow  ever since.  Over the past 30  years, she has been involved in most every aspect of the beauty  industry, including marketing, new product development, brand  development, staff management, presentation skills, and all aspects of  education. Over time, she developed her personal sense of the product  experience. After suffering severe migraines, she vowed to only use  essential oils as fragrance to avoid reactions to heavy perfumes and  synthetics. Mary has traveled the world sharing her passions and is  recognized as a leading industry expert.  In 2004, she teamed up with  Industry Leader Ann Mincey to create “Destination Rejuvenation  Retreats.” Together, they have since also created a dynamic and  interactive Platform/teacher training course aptly named “I AM a Great  Presenter.” She is a 200-hour certified yoga teacher and shares her  knowledge regarding managing stress with the beauty industry as well. In  order to serve others, Mary believes you must first be clear, grounded,  and relaxed in your own body, heart, and mind.  

Wilson  Collective Beauty Leader, yogi, cyclist, who loves the beach.  Passionate about the Wilson Collective and Destination Rejuvination.



Phillip Wilson Wilson Method has worn many industry shoes. He has been a hairdresser  for over 50 years. Phillip Wilson-Founder/Creative Director When Phillip  Wilson was a small boy, he would accompany his mother to the salon  where he would sweep up hair and catch ashes dropped from slumbering  ladies under the dryers. He fell in love with the scents, the sounds,  and the salon experience. Receiving coins for tips here and there helped  him learn early on that care and kindness go a long way. When asked by  the schools’ head master to leave school at 14, he began to explore life  beyond his small town in coastal England. Phillip set his sights on  passing the entrance exam for Cosmetology and he worked hard, jumping  the mail train each morning to make his way to college. After completing  his licensing, he moved to London and was fortunate enough to train  with Vidal Sassoon, Raymond - a.k.a. Teezy Weezy, Alexander of Paris,  and many of the Grand Masters of Europe. A few years later, while  working a side gig in a pub on Guernsey Island, Phillip was introduced  to his greatest young opportunity. Being at the right place at the right  time, he was asked to dress the hair of visiting Royal Duchesses for a  special occasion. They all fell in love with him and he was asked back  time and again. When Phillip moved to Canada in the mid 1970’s, he began  his platform artist career and opened his first salons in Vancouver.  There, he honed all of those skills learned from so many. He began  cutting hair with two combs and two brushes in a very free-form style.  This became his Wilson Method over the years and is still how he  approaches hair today. Named one of the Top 100 Artists of all time by  Modern Salon, his work has been featured on T.V. and on magazine covers  over the last 3 decades. He has travelled the world with his wife Mary  to share his passion, creativity, and love for this industry.
