We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Dennis Lee a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Dennis , appreciate you joining us today. How did you scale up? What were the strategies, tactics, meaningful moments, twists/turns, obstacles, mistakes along the way? The world needs to hear more realistic, actionable stories about this critical part of the business building journey. Tell us your scaling up story – bring us along so we can understand what it was like making the decisions you had, implementing the strategies/tactics etc.
Then on my own doing Hair Shows and Fashion Shows like New York Fashion week and L.A Fashion Week , and photo shoots around the country for the last 33 years.
I’ve accomplished numerous Television segments ( recently I was featured on NBC Lifestyle Show all about Hair Trends.) , and Hair for film and movies.
I am creating gorgeous Haircuts , Color , Blondes , Balayage , Updos in Newport Beach Ca. ,Salt Lake City Ut. and Park City Ut.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers?
I majored in Art with a Bachelor’s degree. I’ve always had an artistic mind, very creative and always inventive and thinking outside the box. So when the Hairdressing career came to me I put my artistic ability into Hair. I started at the very best Hair Salon in the United States. Allen Edwards Salon on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills Ca. and then on to Allen Edwards Newport Beach Ca. The education I learned at those Salons , I couldn’t ask for anything better, and Allen Edwards is my Uncle so its legacy for me.
My specialties are Precision Haircutting , State of the Art Hair Color, the latest in Blondes, Highlights and Balayage.
Another one of my joys is Updos and Wedding Hair , fashion Shows and Hair for modeling photo shoots.
I really listen to my clients needs and goals with their hair and give them above and beyond what they expected .
I’m always staying up with all the latest trends and being a Hairstyling Influencer to others.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
I am always taking pictures of my work and posting . Keep Hashtags relevant and fresh. I belong to a Modeling agency and a Talent Agency so that helps a lot .
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
I moved to Utah 3 years ago and to be able build a new clientele in a new city , makes me think way outside my comfort zone , but I have achieved an new clientele in a short period of time , I have also been flying back to Newport Beach every 5 weeks for a full week taking care of my clients there for the last 3 years . It’s a joy working in 2 different states doing hair in Utah and California.
