When I thought about opening a salon of my own, I pictured the kind of people I would work with. I wanted to  create an environment where my stylists can learn and grow in their careers, to have goals that they achieve through education and mentorship. Stylists will invest tens-of-thousands of dollars and years of ongoing training into their careers and I want to invest in them. They deserve to be respected for their talent and expertise.
