Heidi Breivik-Wetzel, a Minneapolis hair professional with 34 years in the professional beauty industry, recently received an international "Elegance" recognition from Fondation Guillaume during Intercoiffure Mondial's "The Hair show Must Go On" at the historic Cirque d'Hiver in Paris.
The recognition was presented by Sascha Hirtsgaard, President of Fondation Guillaume International, during the international gathering of hair professionals.
While the Paris recognition celebrates Breivik-Wetzel's own professional journey, an equally important part of her story has been her commitment to education, mentorship and sharing knowledge with the hairdressers who follow her.
Throughout her career, Breivik-Wetzel has worked as a hair color designer and educator, participated in competitions, judged professional hair shows and presented her work internationally.

Her dedication to education reflects a philosophy that the future of professional hairdressing depends upon experienced professionals being willing to teach, mentor, encourage and open doors for those coming next.
That philosophy also closely aligns with the mission of Fondation Guillaume, the youth organization of Intercoiffure Mondial, which focuses on education, creativity, mentorship and international exchange while helping develop the next generation of international hairdressing talent.
After decades in an industry where professionals have not always been adequately educated on caring for non-straight hair, hair artist Kimberly Michelle created a brand designed to help bridge that gap, both behind the chair and at home.
