He was born March 23, 1966 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He was the son of Lee Hazzle and Barbara Hazzle (deceased) and Shirley Weathers Love. At a young age, he was baptized at Second Baptist Church and then became a member of Mount Zion Baptist Church. After graduation from Kalamazoo Central High School, Dion attended Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon. Always having a flare for beauty and fashion, he decided to relocate to Atlanta, Georgia to attend Duncan Beauty Academy, a top-notch Cosmetology School. He was so sought after while in school that he was recruited by the prestigious Van Michaels Salon and served clients, such as Cindy Crawford, Bridget Fonda, Lawrence Fishburn, the stars of “The Atlanta Housewives” and “Married to Medicine,” just to name a few. After years of working in that salon, he ventured out on his own and many of his clients followed him. Dion was an expert in not only hair and makeup but also lashes and eyebrows long before it was as popular as it is now. One weekend a month Dion would fly back to Kalamazoo and serve many of his mother’s elite clients in her shop, Main Attraction. Later to be closer to family, but still to keep the city vibe, he relocated to Chicago, Illinois and opened his own salon. While there, he received many awards and accolades for his spectacular work. He was also the stylist and makeup artist for many trade shows and weddings. One of the fabulous weddings he did while in Chicago was that of the daughter of the Heinz Ketchup Empire. Dion’s last move was back to Kalamazoo, Michigan to join his mother in her salon, Main Attraction until his illness forced him to retire and even then, he still served his “special clients” in their homes. He dedicated his life to the art of hairstyling and makeup, finding joy in transforming clients and creating memories. He was known for his hair color skills, his signature cuts and a warm and welcoming presence. Dion was preceded in death by his brother, Terrance Conrad Anthony. He is survived by his father, Lee Hazzle; his mother, Shirley Weathers Love (Paul); his sisters, Carla Alexander, Carmen Heard (Benjamin), Robin Hamilton (Charles) and Kim Fischer (Maurice); his brother, Dr. Phillip Dooley; special friend, Dolores Smith; several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends and clients that truly loved him. Dion will be remembered for his artistic eye, his warm personality, and his dedication to his craft. He also leaves behind a legacy of beauty and style.
