HAIL, YES!
Michigan Grad reveals all on…why Lady Jane's is a great place to start a career!
Karlee is an LJ superstar and phenomenal stylist at the Tonawanda, NY location located at 1731 Sheridan Dr, Tonawanda, NY 14223. We sat down with Karlee to get the lowdown on her interests as The LJ Stylist of the Month for August 2010.
- Karlee, as the Wicked Awesome managers of our Ann Arbor salon, what's your favorite part about cutting hair at LJ?
- I love the variety of people I get to meet in just one day, you never know what stories are going to come out of some people’s mouths. I also love all the girls I work with, they are like my sisters.
- Since sports is such a large part of the LJ experience, what's your favorite sports team & why?
- Bills, Sabers, and Bandits… Have to represent the home teams!
- What type of music do you listen to?
- Anything and everything. My iPod is very schizophrenic.
- What's the best nickname anyone has ever called you?
- Kar-Dawwwwggggg
- Are you more of a Tomboy or a Girly-Girl?
- A little bit of both. I love to go shopping and play sports with the boys.
- Scissor cuts or clipper cuts?
- It depends on what mood I am in, and the type of guy in front of me and whether I am completely changing a style or just touching him up.
- What is your favorite LJ product for guys to use?
- Bedhead workable wax.
- And lastly, what's your 10 second pitch on why LJ is the ONLY place for a guy to get his hair cut?
- LJ is the only place guys should come to get their haircut because we do an awesome job and what guy wouldn’t want to sit in a huge recliner and watch TV before they get their haircut and while they get it done. We have awesome stylist here who can relate to just about every guy who walks through the door.
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."
