Influencial People in Cosmetology (prt 1)

The cosmetology universe has produced a multitude of influencial persons. Many of them have started with absoloutley nothing and now have everything. Possible one of the most renowned person in the buisness, and by far one of the most achieving is; John Paul DiJoria, owner of John Paul Mitchell Systems. John's life changed dramitically from deliviering newspapers to support his family, to owning a billion dollar company. John's life changed completely upon accepting a position in 1971 he at Redken Laboratories, the leading professional hair salon product company in the U.S. at the time, on a starting salary of only $650 a month. The real turning point came when DeJoria joined forces with his friend, Paul Mitchell. Together they funded a company(John Paul Micthell Systems) on the borrowed sum of $750 to introduce their groundbreaking sculpting lotions, hair setting and styling methods. Even today's well-known image of black and white packaging is the result of those early days of not being able to afford colored ink. Now (in todays day and age), John Paul Mitchell systems produces over 90 products sold through 90,000 hair salons across the United States and in 45 countries worldwide with annual retail sales topping $600 million and a pluthera of schools (Paul Mitchell The School). John Paul DiJoria expresses to us all and hairdressers alike that a prosperous career in cosmetology is indeed possible.
