MILAJNE SOLIGO - President

Milajne Soligo is the President of The Megahair Family and creator of the Eccotique Spa concept. Milajne, the youngest President in the salon and spa industry has a passion for the beauty business, developing people and caring for the environment. Being the owner's daughter didn't preclude Milajne from starting from the ground and working her way up. Milajne started out as a shampoo person at Mega's Cut Stop Station Square location in 1988 and has worked her way up into every position since then. It was at that time that she committed herself to contributing to her family's business with energy, dedication, enthusiasm and the willingness to learn. Milajne predicted the growth in popularity of spa services among the general public and launched Eccotique Spa Metrotown in 1996 at the early age of 22.

After 5 years of operating, managing and growing the Eccotique Spa brand to 4 locations strong, her father approached her to become the Vice President of The Megahair Family. She accepted this responsibility in 2001 and began the task of aggressively growing the company and expanding its reach. Milajne took over as Vice President when each of their 11 locations was under a separate name. From those locations she created the 4 most prominent and recognizable salon and spa brands in the industry today throughout Canada.

Today, throughout the Lower Mainland and under Milajne's leadership The Megahair Family is comprised of eleven hair salons ~ 3 Megahair Salons, 4 Zennkai Salons, 2 Cut Stop Salons, 2 Eccotique Hair Salons~ and 6 Eccotique Spas throughout the Lower Mainland.

Some staff from her beginnings are today still part of her corporate team today and are now leading their own brands within The Megahair Family. Everyone who works with The Megahair Family states that it is truly like working with your family. In today's day and age those comments only solidify her true capability as a leader.
