Peter Mahoney, Owner & President
Salon Resource Group

As the owner of several successful salons and a training center, Peter Mahoney is well-versed in what it takes to effectively lead in the professional beauty industry. He has been teaching financial and business principles to salon professionals for more than seventeen years and is one of the most respected management consultants in the salon industry today. His true passion for people shows when he explains that the true high point of his career was not teaching at UCLA, speaking at Redken Symposium or earning the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award; instead it was meeting so many incredible people throughout his time in the industry.

“My first experience with the professional beauty industry was in 1982 while I was in graduate school. I bought into a student consulting company and ended up doing a six-week review of the industry in Atlantic Canada for the local Redken distributor. It was a couple years later, in 1985, that I attended a Redken event in Anaheim, California, and it was there that I discovered that I wanted to be a teacher/mentor for the professional beauty industry. Zig Ziglar was the keynote speaker. He spoke about how you can have anything you want in life if you just help enough people get what they want. As a non-hairdresser that moment changed my life because I thought, ‘I don’t need to know how to cut hair; I just need to help others get what they want, and that I can do!’”
