John Mongold
President
In 1999, John left the human resources field, joining Ken for a career in salon services as demand for top-tier salon professionals was rapidly growing. John’s passion for serving seniors and improving their quality of life has been a driving force behind his growth in the industry, moving beyond the salon into business development and marketing. These skills, along with his passion for the senior industry, provide a foundation for building strong relationships with clients and employees alike.
Ken Fury
Chief Operations Officer
A stylist since 1991, Ken is also a cosmetology instructor and former teacher in vocational and high school settings.
