In this post, I\u2019m going to discuss beauty franchises<\/strong> and more, including a cool story about my dad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, I\u2019m going to point you to a terrific resource you can use to learn more about the franchise opportunities<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>that exist in this fun, growing business area today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But before I get into that, I wanted to share a few things about the guy who got me into the area of franchising I\u2019m in now. A guy who knew a few things about the beauty franchise business<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n

My Dad And Beauty Franchises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My dad, Jerry Libava, who in 2000, convinced me<\/s> hammered on me to join his<\/a><\/strong> franchise consulting firm, got his start in the beauty business. His first gig?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After learning the art of hair-cutting, he became a professional hairdresser. Unfortunately for him, it didn\u2019t last long.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s because he quickly became sick from the nasty chemicals used in 1960\u2019s hair salons<\/a> (The <\/em>EPA<\/strong><\/em><\/a> didn\u2019t exist yet<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, his sickness turned into a rare form of pneumonia, which doctors feel contributed to his untimely death in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needless to say, once his health <\/a><\/strong>improved (which took a couple of months<\/em>), he exited the salon business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His next career stop involved a different area of the beauty<\/strong><\/a> business. One with less sprayable chemicals. He decided to become a make-up artist-and he wanted to do it right. How?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By flying to the New York City headquarters of Revlon\u00ae to be trained in the art of professional make-up application by their top make-up artist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After learning the craft, he started applying make-up at Halle’s, which was a large, well-known, downtown Cleveland Department store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My dad became so good at the art of applying makeup (and making women beautiful<\/em>), and was so well-liked, he was approached by a Cleveland newspaper to write a weekly, women-focused column about makeup and beauty<\/a>. He gladly accepted. Heck, the newspaper even gave him a stage name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And just like that, Jerry Libava became Jerry Brandt<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The year was 1961.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John F. Kennedy was sworn in as our nation\u2019s 35th<\/sup> President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
