I heard you have your own line of hair care products. Please tell me more about them. Also, why did you decide to create them?
Yes, we have our own brand called Tristan Taylor. We felt that our guests needed to have access to high quality, color safe products at an affordable price. We have shampoos and conditioners for different hair types, including a blonde shampoo to neutralize unwanted tones. We also have an excellent styling line, including our popular Dry Her Texture Spray.
Not my first salon. What’s the best advice for balancing work and home life?
We absolutely believe in balancing work and home. It can be tough, especially with long working hours and new store openings, but we try to make time for our family. We have a great team that makes it easy to sneak out on vacation or family date night. We are constantly adjusting and readjusting, sometimes unable to leave the salon until late at night and rarely seeing our families. We are very involved owners so it would not have been possible without our team. I remember that I couldn’t even go out.
