Meet another LJ Superstar: Marina from Madison Heights, MI. We sat down with Marina to find out what it takes to be the LJ Stylist of the Month for February 2012!
- As a Wicked Awesome manager, what's your favorite part about cutting hair at LJ?
- My favorite part about cutting hair at LJ would have to be my clients and my staff! My clients keep me happy and always laughing. I also enjoy having the opportunity to meet new people on a day to day basis.
- Since sports is such a large part of the LJ experience, what's your favorite sports team & why?
- Football has always been my go to sport! The Detroit Lions are my team! This past season they have made my Sundays amazing and very memorable, which reminded me why I have always been a fan.
- What type of music do you listen to?
- I enjoy all types of music considering I was in choir all through middle school and high school. I'd have to say my type if I had to choose is rock, I'm a die hard Avenged Sevenfold fan. Without music I don't know where I'd be because its very motivational for me.
- What do you enjoy?
- I enjoy spending time with my boyfriend, close group of friends and my amazing family, they are the people that support me and get my witty sense of humor. I'm more of a fan of summer because I enjoy the outdoors, boating and attending concerts which are just a couple of things that take up my spare time.
- Scissor cuts or clipper cuts?
- I prefer scissor cuts because it helps me be a little more artistic and creative with the hair. Don't get me wrong I can always cut a mean fade but I tend to favor the scissors a little more!
- What is your favorite LJ product for guys to use?
- My favorite product would have to be the Bed head Clean up Shampoo and Conditioner. This is one of the reasons why my clients come back! After a long day at work who wouldn't want an invigorating shampoo with a menthol induced conditioner? Most men love the fact that it conditions, strengthens and stimulates their scalp while leaving their hair feeling healthy, all while they are getting a great cut.
- And lastly, what's your 10 second pitch on why LJ is the ONLY place for a guy to get his hair cut?
- Answer me this, where else can you go to get a GREAT cut, for a great price and all done by a classy lady like me?!
Tim McCollum is not only a University of Michigan Alum, but he also is the President and COO of Lady Jane's Haircuts for Men. When I asked Tim if Lady Jane's was a good place to work he said, "Hail Yes!" With Sports memorabilia on every wall, a pool table and a Wii, it is easy to see why Tim thinks this way. What about one of the most important parts of LJ, though...the stylists? Tim says that Lady Jane's is the best place in town for a stylist to work because it is where they can make the most money, deal with less drama (guys only) and LJ generates all the client traffic with an aggressive marketing plan. "We also have aggressive growth opportunity as we continue to expand and open new stores across the country." Tim continued with, "At Lady Jane's, stylists can start a career, not just cut hair! Our corporate staff is very passionate about what we do and this energy is embodied in the stylists as well."
Lady Jane's is one of the fastest growing Men's hair care companies in the Country. When I quizzed Tim further, he took me onto the styling floor and said "ask some of the stylists!" When I spoke with Alisha from Farmington Hills, she had this to say. "The Earning potential is unbelievable. I remember asking to go off my guarantee after just one week! After just one year I was promoted to manager of my own LJ store. I love it!" Jenny Golas started as a receptionist at the Hall Rd. location and then worked her way up to a Salon Director position with corporate. "This allowed me to travel all over and help open new stores, it was a great experience!" Jenny has since been promoted to office manager of the corporate headquarters in Troy, Michigan. Carla is the manager of the St. Clair Shores location and she too had great things to say. "What I really love about Lady Jane's is the built in clientele. LJ gets them there and all we have to do is give them a great haircut experience. Since the first day I started, I have been able to cut 12-20 guys every day! As our owner would say, that's wicked awesome!"
The more I talked to the stylists and staff of Lady Jane's it made me want to work for Lady Jane's. When I asked Mr. McCollum how I could get involved he simply said..."Click Below."
