Karie Z. Bennett cut her own bangs on her third birthday, wrote a book at the age of eight, and the rest is destined for her memoirs. She celebrated her 30th year as a hairstylist by launching a second career—as a writer, and a third as a salon business consultant. Currently working her way through The Writer’s Studio program at Stanford University, she is a freelance correspondent for Salon Today magazine. Her salons, Atelier Salon and Atelier Studio, in San Jose, California, have captured a number of industry awards, including the Global Salon Business Award, NAHA’s Master of Business Award, the SALON TODAY 200, and the STAMP award for creative marketing ideas.
