Jon Gonzales’ career spans over 40 years as a hair stylist, salon owner, lecturer, seminar leader, salon consultant, motivational speaker, entrepreneur, educator and author.

Being in the heart of the salon industry, Jon saw a need for salon training in the form of a salon owner and hairdresser educational system that would better meet the educational and business needs of his colleagues, free of any special interest group.

As President and Founder, Jon created Hairdresser Career Development Systems (HCDS) to fill this educational void — and his only business is education.

Jon is receiving rave reviews for providing easy to understand, affordable Salon Management Courses, Hairdresser Seminars and Books, CD’s and DVD’s that help his colleagues better meet the growing challenges of the twenty-first century and reach higher levels of personal, professional and financial excellence.

Jon’s courses, seminars and education materials teach salon marketing ideas, tips on salon success and salon business management plus a comprehensive array of salon business strategies and solutions. They provide hairdressers with critical hair stylist marketing tips and information on how to build a successful hair stylist career, improve customer loyalty, provide outstanding customer service and increase their hairdresser salary.

As a result, the HCDS Educational System has helped thousands of hairdressers and salon owners in the U.S. and Canada to reach their professional, financial and personal goals.
