Meiseles, the daughter of Hollywood producer, Robert Blumofe credited

of famed comedian Jack Benny. After a heartbreaking visit to an
‘adult’ salon with her then young son, the first-time
entrepreneur established the entertainment-styled salon with the
goal to make children’s hair care a positive fun-filled
adventure for families. Entrepreneurs that relate to this scenario
