A New Chapter for the Salon at MAC

Rodney Tuthill, the heart and soul behind Salon Arts since 1979, has decided to hang up his scissors and embark on a well-earned retirement. His decision comes with a desire to focus on his health and enjoy more of what life has to offer beyond the salon.

As MAC bids Tuthill farewell, it embraces the future with optimism. Starting April 1, MAC takes over management of the salon, ensuring that the legacy of exceptional service that Tuthill built continues. While the departure certainly marks the end of an era, all Salon Arts stylists are staying on board, ready to continue offering their expertise and services to both longtime clients and new members alike.

Tuthill, known for his exceptional service, flair for style, and keen eye for the ever-changing world of hair art, has a career at Multnomah Athletic Club spanning over four decades, during which he has become a beloved figure among members. He’s styled the hair of past presidents, trustees, and generations of families and contributed significantly to the club’s vibrant community.

Former MAC Vice President Brian Perko and his son, Erik, visit Rodney Tuthill at the salon in the 1980s.

Reflecting on his tenure, Tuthill expresses gratitude for the opportunity to serve the MAC community, emphasizing his hope that the salon continues to thrive under new management. “It has been an honor to be part of the MAC family, contributing to the club’s evolution,” Tuthill says. He looks forward to seeing the salon serve future generations of MAC members.

MAC acknowledges Tuthill’s significant contributions to the club’s culture and the personal connections he has fostered through his work at Salon Arts. His impact on the community will be remembered as the salon embarks on a new chapter, with the club committed to upholding the legacy and standards Tuthill has set.

MAC members are invited to celebrate Tuthill’s contributions and to continue supporting Salon Arts as it moves forward under the club’s management, ensuring that the salon remains a cornerstone of the club’s offerings.
