WHO IS THIS CHRIS BARAN PERSON ANYWAY?
Image is not available

CB is the Global Education Artistic Director for Redken 5th Ave, and a leader in education for L'Oréal.

Hundreds of thousands of stylists and educators all over the world have been influenced and trained by Chris in his 40+ years in education.

He spent years learning from the best. Then he distilled all those hard-won lessons down to a tidy collection called Principle-Based Design and Finishing. Principles never change, and they apply to everything, as universal and timeless as gravity. Once you know the principles, you’re set for life. Your only limit is your creativity.

With design and finishing education solved (seriously, ask any stylist who uses it - it's solved), Chris turned to helping other professional educators reach the top of their own game with the GLOBAL PEAK-PERFORMANCE SYSTEM. With GPS live personal coaching every week, the path to the peak is perfectly clear.

Salon owners spend too much time focused on training and not enough on building the business. Chris fixes that with the Salon Associate Accelerator, built so that the lead educator can take over with plenty of time left for advancing the seasoned stylists too. Elevate the standards and easily maintain them with a solid system that scales with you and gets new hires supporting the team in just two weeks. From hiring the right people every time to the shampoo experience to design, finishing, color, and retailing, Chris has associate training covered.

WHAT IS PRINCIPLE-BASED DESIGN AND FINISHING?
Image is not available

Imagine your super power was to see any hairstyle - no matter how crazy - and to instantly know how to recreate it. You could even tell other people exactly how to recreate it.

Before Chris was recognized as a world leader in education, he spent years learning from the best. He has distilled all those hard-won lessons down to a tidy set of principles. Trends come and go, but the principles behind them never change. Point, line, angle, face shapes, elevation, over-direction, finger angle, hair product, and hot tools: Once you know the principles, you really can do anything. Your only limit is your creativity.

Chris Baran's Design and Finishing teach the principles in an easy See/Do/Debrief format. First, Chris shows you how it works. Then, you do it yourself. Then he adds some info so you understand exactly why it worked so well and how you can use it every day. Before you know it you'll be a six-figure stylist booked months in advance.

And it’s all yours for less than the cost of a good pair of shears. Goodbye Guesswork. Hello Guest Work.™
