Opening A Salon and Building an Amazing Team with The Citizen Salon Crew

This crew is so amazing!  In this episode we sat down and talked about the journey from early educators at Paul Mitchell The School, creating Varsity Education- to when they knew they were ready to open their own salon!  How new salon ownership is scary AF but they knew they were ready for the challenge and independence!  We also touched on the simplicity of using Social media as a platform for their education and how there's really no need for fancy websites and all the other shit people think they "need" inorder to GET STARTED!  If YOU have a vision and a passion to share, just START! These 3 have a unique and awesome dynamic! Some of you will remember the super funny Lucas Doney from a past episode, Lucas has been a stylist for 10 years and has a deep love for precision cuts and educating.  He has been fortunate enough to travel the world sharing his talents! Clinton Norris is beyond obsessed with his craft and his passion shows in every single post.
