In addition to building a small salon family dynasty just outside of Chicago, Provenzano actively serves on the board of Cosmetologists Chicago for more than 10 years, currently as its secretary. The association has credits Provenzano’s leadership position as helping shape salon owner events and education available through America’s Beauty Show. Back in Naperville, she’s shaping a strong business she eventually plans to pass down to her two sons—Sam, 36, and Nick, 33— and their families.
Patricia Owen’s beauty career started behind the counter as an educator and makeup artist for Estee Lauder cosmetics. Later, she opened FACES as a small ladies retail boutique on Hilton Head Island, then over the years transformed into an award-winning day spa. In addition to beauty, Owen’s biggest passion is business, and over the years her involvement with her local Chamber of Commerce led to her sitting on the boards of the U.S. Small Business Council and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, involving her in national conversations about issues, such as taxes, access to financial regulation and health care reform. She’s even represented the small business owner in testimony before the U.S. Congress.
Soon after taking her first job as an esthetician, Debra Neill Baker realized she had too much energy to be in a room with one person at a time. She found herself carefully observed the relationship between the hairdresser and the client and soon made it her personal mission to help the salon and the stylist understand the power and influence they have through their clients. It’s a mission she continues today, as she helps lead Neill Corporation, the largest Aveda distributorship, the owner of SalonBiz software and the Paris Parker Salons, and the founder of Serious Business, an educational forum that draw more than 1,000 owners, managers and stylists each year.
