How Janine Jarman Made It Big!

Since the age of 14, Janine Jarman has experimented with hair design and technique. At the age of 16, she was an entrepreneur-beginning her first hair business, "Noel and Neen," styling the hair of her peers for high school dances. With some "shameless self promotion" (i.e. dressing up and handing out flyers at underage dance clubs), Jarman expanded her clientele to additional high schools.

It's no surprise that by the age of 24-yup, 24!-she was a salon owner. Besides her work with the Pussy Cat Dolls, she continues to style the stars at her Hairroin Salon in the heart of Hollywood, including Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas, Scarlett Johansson and Christina Applegate, to name a few. Last year, Jarman's fame skyrocketed when she was named a runner up and voted fan favorite on season three of Shear Genius. Follow her on Twitter @janinejarman.
