Kelly Herron Skincare Sales Consultant for the Northwest Washington territory.
What did you do before this?
My outside sales career started with a college textbook publishing company. I was a sales representative for math and science textbooks at twelve universities in the Pacific Northwest territory and Alaska. Training and Education are very important to me and this was a way to expand on that passion.
What did you do before that?
I have a wealth of retail experience, primarily in the health and beauty industry. I have worked with several cosmetics companies in both department store and boutique locations.
How long have you been in the industry?  
Since 2002, I started at an Origins store in Columbus Ohio.
What is your favorite thing about your job?
My favorite thing about my job is having the opportunity to educate on the truths of skin health. There is so much misinformation in the marketplace that I feel honored to represent such a reputable brand as Dermalogica. I believe that skin therapists truly change the way people feel about themselves, and I know Dermalogica is a brand that supports them and their mission to change skin with products that yield results. I love being a part of that mission.
If you weren’t doing this, what would you be doing?
My education is in Organizational Training and Development so if I was not in sales, I would definitely be working with companies to improve organizational efficiency and, as Salon Services would say, "encourage personal mastery."

Once my children were a little older I was able to return back to school where I gained my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business graduating in the class of 2000 from the University of North London.
How long have you been in the industry?
Since 1983. I attended Don’s Beauty School in San Mateo, CA and graduated in 1983, I continued to working professionally behind the chair until 1990. Once I moved overseas I grew and maintained a small home base clientele for 12 years until I relocated back to the States in mid 2002, it wasn’t until early 2004 I excepted my current position at Salon Services as a Business Consultant where I can now utilize both my hair skills and Business knowledge to best support all my clients in reaching their goals.
What is your favorite thing about your job?
Everything - but my favorite thing is building new relationships and working with young and or seasoned salon owners or stylists in reaching new heights of success.  
If you weren’t doing this, what would you be doing?
Good question. Something in a supportive role, as I enjoy helping others. I am very customer service oriented.
