Artist Stories: Michael Cole

Summit Salon Learning's Michael Cole is one of the industry's most renowned educators in the important areas of career development and business building for salons and spas. He has presented in front of hundreds of thousands of professionals over the course of 30+ years, inspiring many to up their game professionally (and personally), and in the process of doing so, changing the trajectory of their lives. I can't count the number of salon owners and stylists who have shared the story of their opening their first salon—or purchasing their first home—because they paid attention to Michael's advice on how to raise their income.
