The Kirschner Group, Inc has achieved worldwide success in the beauty industry.

In 1979, Harlan began his career in the beauty industry working for a sales distributor. Having learned the ins and outs of the beauty business, as well as management and operations, Harlan soon set out conceptualize and eventually create his own company, The Kirschner Group, Inc. Since 1999, the Kirschner group successfully expanded throughout the U.S., and in 2004 acquired global reach when it began servicing Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Harlan Kirschner and the Kirschner Group have gone on to become the most successful rep group in the industry.
Harlan Kirschner is currently a board of director member for the Professional Beauty Association, chairman of the Manufacturer Leadership Council and has been treasurer for the Western Buying Conference for the last 16 years. His passion, dedication, and love for the beauty industry have made him a perfect candidate in receiving this highly esteemed award.
