Coming up as a young stylist, Tricia DiFranco heard it said that for hair stylists, "your retirement party is your funeral." As a salon owner since age 24, Tricia is determined to prove that's not true. In this episode of SUMM IT UP, host Blake Reed Evans chats with Tricia about how she's grown her employees and her business with Summit systems like the Associate Program, coaching, and level jumping. Plus, how Tricia teamed up with salon owners across New Jersey to get the state's beauty industry up and running after the 2020 COVID-19 shutdown.
Tricia DiFranco is a hair stylist, a Summit Salon Business Center coach, and the owner of Highlights Salon in Lyndhurst, New Jersey. Connect with Tricia on Instagram @triciahilights and find her salon companies @highlightssalon and @hausofhighlights.
