Lady Jane’s opens hair salons for men across U.S., plans 10 new locations
Lady Jane's has grown up from its humble beginnings in St. Clair Shores seven years ago and now has its sights set on becoming a national brand for hair cuts. "Our growth has been pretty brisk," says Tim McCollum, president & COO of Lady Jane's. "Last year we opened 13 new stores." The Troy-based business bills itself as the place for haircuts for men and now has 43 company-owned locations in seven states. Its four most recent openings are in Michigan (two stores), Ohio and North Carolina. It is planning 10 new stores this year and hopes to be in every state within the next decade. McCollum plans to slow down the company's overall growth this year so it can better focus on its core product and creating efficiencies in the business. The firm currently has 20 employees at its corporate headquarters after hiring seven in the last year. Each retail location has a staff of 20-30 people. "If it's just growth, growth, growth and you don't focus on the product, you can become obsolete pretty quick," McCollum says.
