Chris Baran's Headcases

Today I’m chatting with a true entrepreneur. She is a hairdresser, a school co-owner, a school franchise co-owner, and her 25,000 square foot salon and med spa has been voted one of the top 100 salons by Elle Magazine no less than four times. I am so pleased to bring you my good friend Jill Krahn.

⁃How did she get from a 3-chair boutique to her current 25,000ft salon with med spa and restaurant?

⁃She had a detailed plan for running a very successful large salon, but no exit strategy. How will she know when it’s time to stop away?

⁃What mistakes did she make along the way?

⁃What’s the one biggest thing she wishes she’d done differently?

⁃Logan Parlor’s consultation is different. It’s a premium service in itself.

⁃Jamie shares how to start a dialogue about hair with questions about each element of the haircut.

Today's guest is one of the most brilliant educators and colorists I know. He is a global artist with Redken, and a lead colorist on all Redken color shoots. He is a three time NAHA nominee and he is here fresh from the stage at the Redken Symposium On Tour. So let's get into this week's Headcase: Mr. George Garcia.

- he realized early in his training at cosmetology school that if he was going to do this, he better commit all the way

- his paradigm shift from being a kid on the street to helping kids on the street 

- how he was fired from one salon after being wrongly accused of stealing $20, and got hired at another salon with an amazing mentor who got him his start at Redken
