Chris Baran's Headcases

Welcome to another episode of Headcases. My guest got his start at Vidal Sassoon, where he quickly rose through the ranks of the organization to General Manager. To top that he went on to run no fewer than 320 salons in the UK. He launched AVD Cosmetics and grew it to $40 million in sales. He founded Eurisko Design, focused on crafting spaces to meet consumers' emotional as well as functional needs. With a doctorate in behavioural psychology, he has given TED Talks and been featured as a speaker at major industry events. You may know his books "A Window Into The Consumer's Mind", and "From Comfort to Growth". His mission is to elevate the thinking from owning a salon to owning a business, and I wholeheartedly agree. Let's get into this week's Headcase, Dr Leon Alexander.

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?
