Richard Ouellette was born in Ottawa Canada, and Lived most of his young years in Montreal,
where his Grandfather and Uncle were barbers. He and his family moved to the United States in 1955.
Richard Ouellette came into the hairdressing business in the late 60's. Out of school just two years,
Richard opened his first salon in beautiful Newport Beach, California.
The luxurious salon was 5,500 square foot facility unprecedented in 1975 and offered a full range
of services and products under the name of Richard Ouellette Salon. Always a pioneer, his first salon
flourished, it was even voted i“ THE salon,” from Los Angeles to San Diego, by Los Angeles Magazine in 1984.
In 1986, Richard moved to San Diego, California with his lovely wife Connie to raise their family.
“I live to treat people the way they want to be treated”, stated Richard Ouellette when asked how he
got his start in the beauty industry. “I wanted to fill a niche market that I thought was missing.
To help the average consumer achieve a “complete look” at an affordable price.” With the goal from the beginning
to deliver high quality services while incorporating a modern retail center within each salon,
Richard Ouellette founded the Angles BeautyCare Group including Collections Salons and Day Spas and Angles Salons.
Over the next twelve years six salons were opened, throughout San Diego, Los Angeles and Orange County and the
Inland Empire.
The corporate mission of Angles BeautyCare Group is to make an impact in the beauty industry through leadership,
creative marketing strategies, unique merchandising and distinct brand recognition. The Company offers a continued
education program to the staff members, to keep them current with the latest fashion trends, styles, service
techniques, products and communication skills.

Richard and Connie strive to give back to the community by contributing services. Time and resources to the
Orange County Rescue Mission, St. Madeline’s Sophie Center, The Global Theatre, Strive of San Diego,
and Luna’s Light Breast Cancer. Mr. Ouellette further states, “My staff at Collections Salons and Day
Spas and I offer our support to the KUSI TV Shopping Spree for Domestic Abuse Wives by offering the victims
a “Day of Pampering”. We offer them the chance to come into any of our three locations and receive a
complimentary makeover.”
In late 1998, Richard had another brilliant idea,
create styling tools that would stand up in a professional environment
and create beautiful styling options for hair, and "Hair
Art and Information" (HAIclassic) became
the first and quickly the leading professional
ceramic styling iron and appliance company. Balance is the key for this
successful man. Richard Ouellette balances the passion and art of hair
design
as well as the technical and business skills
it takes to run the business. He is truly dedicated to making a difference
for the guests of his salons and day spas and enriching the community,
which is what makes the
beautiful dream of Richard Ouellette into a wonderful
success story!
