"I arrived in Canada in 1993 with my parents and siblings," says Johnny Bui, owner of JB Salon. "I studied hairdressing after high school and found that I enjoyed it immensely." However, after finding work in a hairdressing salon, Johnny was disappointed by the level of customer service and how the staff were treated.
"I found there was no connection between the owner and the clients," he says. "I worked there for two and a half years and I saw the owner maybe eight or nine times. Stylists kept leaving. It was then that I decided to take a gamble and open my own salon."
Ever since opening JB Salon in 2013, Johnny has worked hard to create a family-type atmosphere for both his staff and his clients. "If you treat your staff right," he says, "they will stay with you. And happy staff mean happy clients."
