While creativity, fashion and technique are a major focus for most stylists, the \u201cbusiness side\u201d of the industry (such as financial success and how to operate a salon) is equally important.\n\u201cHere at Serious Stylist, we don\u2019t discuss how hairspray works-we discuss how to sell hairspray, and how to generate a business model in order to sell that hairspray with success,\u201d says Serious Stylist owner Jon Haigwood. As a former stylist and current salon owner, Haigwood\u2019s passion for salons and hair led him to the creation of Serious Stylist in April of 2012.\nHaigwood created Serious Stylist after he faced years of challenges that come with owning a salon. \u201cI ran into a lot of roadblocks, and ultimately I gained the knowledge I needed through networking with other salon owners,\u201d says Haigwood. \u201cI then decided to create a platform for everyone in our industry to be able to ask questions and get direct answers, from salon professionals who are simply interested in sharing their knowledge.\u201d\nKey contributing members to Serious Stylist include Kathy Jager, author of As The Chair Turns, Carolyn Demarco, Director of Education at The Brittany Group and Zane Hagy writer for Salon Today Magazine. Members of Serious Stylist can also create private groups on the site as a way to create a communication platform for their own salon staff members.\nJoining Serious Stylist is free and simple to navigate.
