Salvatore Minardi Chats with Reggie Laws

In this episode of Beauty Bar Chat Podcast, Salvatore has a riveting discussion about the passion and inspiration that propelled Reggie Laws to the heights of a Rock Superstar in the world of beauty.  This episode is packed with the recipe for the rocket fuel that powered Reggie Laws' launch to stardom.

Reginald Laws and Ian Duncan started a concept salon where everyone would have ownership in the direction of the salon. This is the reason for our company name, PARTNERS. The company quickly gained recognition for its emphasis on education, traveling the world, and disseminating knowledge at various venues, both large and small. After opening eight salons, a flagship salon was opened just off Berkeley Square in London. 

In 1990, Reg opened our first salon in the United States, located in the DC Metro area. We currently have 15 salons and recently opened our first barbering salon – PR Barbers.
