Cheryl Roose Donor for The Real Hair Truth

As a salon owner, my successes were rewarding. However, my competitive nature drove me to challenge
myself further. In 1987 I sold my salon and moved to Edmonton where I took a job as a stylist.  Within a month,
I was let go because I did not fit the company image.

Little did I realize that this was the experience that would challenge me to explore exactly what a
“company image” was. In this era of the salon industry, I drove to the next salon and was hired.
Being that building a clientèle has always been strength of mine, just a few months later I had a full clientèle.
My career in this location supported me through a wonderful marriage and the birth of two beautiful daughters.
Fulfillment had graced my personal life but my competitive nature as a stylist had me venture to a larger
salon with more opportunity for growth.  

My journey into education began with the foundation of Suki’s precision cutting techniques and various
industry technical training and continued with Wayne Grund’s “The five keys to success”. At this point I felt
ready and joined the arena of a competition stylist. 

One day the owner of the salon walked out and the opportunity for entrepreneurship made me a
salon owner for the second time.  In transition of my new ownership, the current staff walked out and
I was left with a huge salon, no stylists, 2 babies and no idea of what to do next. I was soon faced with the
challenges of hiring new employees and being held hostage by high commissions and the need to hold
on to them to pay the bills.  

I soon found that being a successful stylist does not make you a successful salon owner. Reflection
upon my previous education ignited my love of service, integrity in my work and a deep desire to bring
dignity to the salon industry. My vision led me to the Strategies training program where I first learned about
my passion for systems and structure. Recognizing I needed guidance with leading employees, I took
courses in effective employee behavior, human resources and leadership training through skill path seminars.
Various marketing and motivational courses followed with some wonderful speakers such as Harv Eker,
Dr. Lou, Eric Manual and Wayne Grund. My experience soon taught me that to be a great leader I must
inspire my people which has led me to my most rewarding journey of personal development and studying
human nature. Brian Tracey’s “Psychology of achievement” and Stephen Coveys “The 7 habits of highly
effective people” were the first of my mentors and both continue to be strong reference points for me.
Inspiration has also led me to the teachings of Carolyn Myss, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Eric Butterworth, Louise Hay,
Sanaya Roman and Eric Holmes.   

I designed my first training manual, incorporated systems, scripts, policies and procedures. In 2004,
I hired my business coach and mentor, Miranda Webb of Leading Edge Business Training; she has
helped me reach the next level of business. I was then rewarded with skilled technicians, a strong foundation
of salon clientèle, retained clients, consistency in team members, a standard of service, sustained revenues
and a true team environment.   

Since the incorporation of these systems I have had the privilege to lead seminars in the beauty schools.
I continue to volunteer my expertise to assist others to develop their life skills and expand their potential.
I have also been honored in apprenticing technicians and I have seen jobs turn into careers. In the last few
years these systems supported me through every salon nightmare and have given me the opportunities to
become stronger as a person and business owner.

I challenge you to do the same.

Haircolor, Haircare Giants In the Industry Are Stealing From You!

~ Joseph Kellner

THE REAL HAIR TRUTH.COM

You know who really is making the revenues now, Thats right Home Haircoloring, and Haircare. Industry giants are out there putting the profession in the dirt and a good percentage of the hairdressing, makeup industry professionals  just sit on the ass and let it go by. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO WAKE UP.

Alberto-Culver, L’Oreal, Clairol, Upjohn,  Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Revlon. “L’Oreal and Procter & Gamble stand out in front of the leading marketers that have been swallowing up salon hair care companies. And brands to bolster revenues in the face of flagging category sales.
L’Oreal has bought Redken (1993), Matrix (2000), Soft Sheen (1998), Carson (2000), and most recently, Artec (2002). These purchases give the French beauty products giant an even stronger and more diversified position in the U.S. salon products market. P&G has also expanded its hair care portfolio with two substantial
moves. It bought Clairol from Bristol-Myers Squibb in May 2001 and then acquired Wella.

Salon Professional will go to SALLYS and buy all the products stated above and not think a thing about it. There is only one privately owned haircare/haircolor company left in the business SCRUPLES. Thats It!

Then you get some professional starting there own retail lines in our industry and then they sell out to make a Buck, remember ARTEC, they did the same thing sell it to you and make a legion of customers within the profession and then CASH in on the product.

You haircoloring sales are going down the tubes now thanks to the giants accomadating the consumer, giving false information to sell a buck. That is fine for me I specialize in corrective haircolor so there preying on the ignorance of  haircolor to the consumer helps the growth within my salon.

But when you think of all the other companys selling to the industry professionals haircolor in deals that the stylist cannot so no to. Is also preying on the ignorance of the salon professional. A salon professional who is not specialized in the art of haircolor will buy a introductory package from the Sales associate who represents the Distributorship and not even recieve the full haircolor line. Colors that are speciality haircolors can be easily be made by knowing the haircolor wheel. But the manufacturer will make certain haircolors for the stylist preying on there lack of knowledge of the color wheel. The point I am trying to make from all of this is the inside of the Professional salon industry manufacturers and distributors are sticking it to you. You think they are for you  (Booth Renter) and the Salon but they are not. One of the great ploy I see in the industry is how every year you see SEBASTIAN, GOLDWELL, MATRIX, FRAMESI, all these companys advertise a better product. But in realisty they are just repackaging the product. SAME THING DIFFERENT FACE! Disytributors will do the same thing where I am from in Orlando I use Goldwell Haircolor, the distributorship is called EVOLUTION in Jackonsville. They will put together a new product launch from the manufacturer and sell you a ticket for let say $50.00 and give you a goodie bag of crap! After a hour of bullshit I came to realize the product was the same only repackaged. I paid $50.00 for a stupid product relaunch!

YOU SEE THIS ALOT AT THE HAIR SHOWS!!!

YOU HAVE ALL BECOME COMPLACENT

Beauty school at center of state investigation!

~ Joseph Kellner

A state investigation is looking into allegations against the Portland Beauty School, which is accused of allowing students to buy credit hours and cheat on state and federal tests.

State officials said they started their investigation when they received a tip from a credible source who said the fraudulent activity took place at the beauty school between March and August. Some of the school’s students may have graduated illegally, according to Oregon health licensing agents.

Mytien Huynh Kent, who owns the school on Northeast Siskiyou Street, said never expected to be the target of such an investigation.

“We really feel that this is a false accusation,” Huynh Kent said. “All of this is a shock and we have no idea where this is coming from.”

On Tuesday morning, Huynh Kent said, Oregon health licensing agents and Portland police raided the school with a search warrant, removing all of her financial, student and personnel documents.

The beauty school is also accused of selling answers to state and federal accreditation tests.

Veteran hair stylist Ambrosia Carey said earning your license legitimately isn’t simply for the client’s beauty, but also for their health and safety.

“(You need to) be able to recognize diseases and disorders,” Carey said. “Otherwise, you could end up cross-contaminating and spreading disease to other people.”

No licenses have been revoked from the Portland Beauty School so far.

If the investigation reveals fraud, however, criminal charges could be filed.

Huynh Kent insists all of her students follow the state’s standards and laws. She can’t imagine her instructors allowing them to cheat.

“Most of our staff has been with us, some for over than 10 years,” she said.

The beauty school will remain open throughout the investigation. Huynh Kent said any instructor who is found to have helped students cheat will be fired immediately. She said she takes pride in the school because she has invested her life into the family business.

“Building our own school was our dream so this is something we have put our heart into,” Huynh Kent said. “It’s not just a job that we go to. This is our home.”

Mytien Huynh Kent and her entire family are nothing but crooks. I knew her and her family when they were running scams in Seattle. Her parents owed tens of thousands of dollars in taxes to the St. of WA, so they fled to Oregon to set-up shop. She has bragged about getting over on the gov’t for over a decade. It’s good to see the law finally caught up with her and her entire family. Mytien is finally getting what she deserves! The Portland Beauty School is a complete SCAM!!
