In this episode, we explore the concept of a departmentalized salon and discuss the nuances of leadership, management, and working together as a husband and wife team. Paul Misciagno has been a leader in the hair industry for over 25 years, touring the United States to educate stylists on the art of hair cutting. With a remarkable background as a creative director and senior designer for some of the industry’s top brands, Paul began his journey at just 19, becoming one of the youngest hair designers on stage. He has owned three salons in South Florida and has also worked as a professional photographer, capturing images of celebrities and athletes since 2007.
