As hard as it is to believe, John Paul DeJoria, CEO and co-founder of
John Paul Mitchell Systems, has never…that’s right NEVER…been honored
by the salon industry! He has received awards and nods worldwide for
his charitable work but has yet to be acknowledged by the salon world
for his contributions. The members of Intercoiffure
America/Canada decided to right that wrong and gave him the VISIONARY
OF THE YEAR AWARD at the most recent Trend Luncheon held this past
Monday at the Waldorf Hotel in New York City.

set.
The holiday season is about to kick into high gear and the salon will

and not only will your days will fly by, you’ll find yourself in a much
better mood by the time you’re headed home.

If you ask salon owner Juan Florentino to describe his 3,900-square foot salon in Beverly Hills, he would say “modern, Hollywood, glam.” And that description couldn’t be more accurate. The Juan Florentino salon, in the heart of star-studded Beverly Hills, goes to great lengths for full client comfort: even offering clients disconnected VIP rooms for total privacy needs and a backdoor entrance for full seclusion. Sprinkled throughout the space are paintings of faces from pop culture: Elvis, Marilyn, Bob Dylan and Elizabeth Taylor.
