Something in teh way that Warren Beatty wielded the scissors on those 70's coifs was inspirational, and Van hasn't looked back since. In 1984, Van and his brother Michael launched the first Van Michael Salon in Atlanta, Georgia. Their goal was simple; a world-class salon that offered the latest cut and color techniques in a creative, non-intimidating environment. Expanding to 8 locations in Atlanta and 42 in Japan, Van's beauty empire now spans the globe.
