Kari Delaney is a 2nd generation I.A.T.S.E. Local 798 Hairstylist, following in the footsteps of her mother, Julie
Delaney. After two years of business school, a year of cosmetology school and passing her state licensing
board, Kari trained in New York and London under acclaimed stylist Oscar Blandi, Toni and Guy and Jingles
International advanced education programs. Once her training was complete, her mother would start her on
her journey in film and television. Due to her mother's relationships in the entertainment industry Kari was
taken "under the wing" of various department heads and 19 years later she attributes that training to her
success as a Hair Department Head. Kari absolutely loves what she does for a living and when she has any
time away from her two sons, it is spent expanding her knowledge and growing both personally and
professionally.
Kari is an upstanding Union member in I.A.T.S.E. Local 798 and remains very active in training and helping both
new and older members understand the importance of representing the IA in a positive manner and
promoting good working relationships with productions.
Life is a gift that Kari is very grateful for and puts the effort in daily to ensure she is not wasting it !
