But that’s not all…

Did someone say you can add more stuff?  Remember to mention who is in your story.  Why you ask? Because then they can share it!   Always add the location.  Adding these little things allows people the ability to click on them and they will be directed to your location or the person you mention.  Sharing is caring after all.  Can you hashtag? Of course you can.  #salonsbyistheplacetobe

ABOUT Salons by JC

In 1997, Jack Griffey and Cecil Miller began their journey to transform the beauty industry one salon suite at a time. Like most young entrepreneurs, they started out with a big idea but had to learn how to start and run a business from scratch. After much perseverance and hard work, one year later, they opened Salons by JC in Dallas, Texas in 1998, welcoming beauty and wellness specialists who were ready to break free from the traditional salon model. The company has since moved its headquarters from Dallas to San Antonio, where it continues to grow through franchising. Today, Salons by JC has nearly 100 locations in 26 states and Canada and are looking to develop of 200 over the next several years.
