The Quick Start Guide
The Courses
Chris Baran is an award-winning stylist and world-renowned educator. He has owned salons and trained teams and for decades has made it his mission to make those exact things easier for everyone else. After all, salon owners don’t get into it because they want to spend their days training. They do it because they have a vision. Chris wants owners free to pursue that vision! So he created this suite of programs designed to almost fly themselves – easy for educators to run, easy for stylists to use, so that owners can focus on building the business. And it’s working.
