Team
In 2018 George packed his Chicago life in a bag and was on the next flight to LA. He knew this wasn’t going to be easy, but with a heart full of dreams nothing was going to get in his way. In a short period of time, George started to build a name for himself in Orange county. His fun, Latin Midwest personality, and technical creative work was won his salon guests over and keeps them coming back for more.
The beauty industry is constantly changing, knowledge is key in a salon, which translated well for George as he took on an educator role with Easihairpro, creating successful salon professionals nationwide. You’d think he’d stop there. But nope! He continues to find ways to elevate his carrier and take it to the next level.
Now, he’s joined the Diamond family as a full-time salon director and hair-artist. With a big smile on his face, George is excited to grow and rebuild the salon. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
