DAVID & CHARLIE WAGNER: JUST SAY YES: FOLLOWING YOUR INTUITIVE POWER IN BUSINESS

You will learn:

  • To lead your company through inspiration instead of perspiration
  • To create a brand that is based on your beliefs and values

David and Charlie Wagner are the founders and inspiration behind Juut Salonspas located in Minnesota and California.

David Wagner is a world-renowned hair stylist, artist, entrepreneur, educator and best selling author of Life as a Daymaker (How to change the world by making someone's day). Wagner's philosophy for living a life that changes the world — one person at a time — through simple acts of kindness has captured the hearts of many and spawned the "pay-it-forward" - like movement of Daymaking around the world.

Charlie Wagner is the innovator of new spa services and therapeutic modalities for the Juut Brand. Her expertise in creating sacred spaces for clients and employees alike has created a unique spa and work environment that allows Juut a real point of difference.

JUUT Salonspas, the original AVEDA concept salons, with eight JUUT locations in the Midwest and one in San Francisco's Bay Area are continually voted "Best Salon" within their communities blending quality education, award winning salon design and a spiritually uplifting environment for customers and employees.

JUUT comes from the Japanese word "Juuten" which means to refill, as a first name it means to uplift humanity and serve others, and their salons do just that. Collectively the salons see nearly 4,000 customers each day, and each of their 400 employees consider themselves personally responsible for making their clients' days. They deeply believe that by making other people's happiness part of what makes us happy, we can consciously begin to change the world. This concept is the heart of Daymaking, and the Wagner's personal/business mission.
