Chris Baran’s Headcases

Our hair heroes seem so successful, so famous, so much larger than life — so far from their
earliest days as a cosmetology school graduate. Imagine you could sit down with your
heroes and ask them “How’d you learn that?” Chris Baran asks his legendary guests how
they got started, who were their mentors, what were the big turning points, what key
pieces of knowledge made the difference for them in their rise to superstardom. After all, if
they can do it, maybe the rest of us can too. Will you be the next hair hero? Only one way to
find out.
