Salty Dawg Pet Salon + Bakery: Expanding the Family Business
Tyler Kanski has deep roots in the hair industry. At 6 years old, he started sweeping hair in his parents’ salon in Normal, Illinois. In 2007, his father, John Kanski, opened his first Paul Mitchell Schools franchise in the same town and slowly expanded across Texas, Georgia, and Wisconsin. Eleven years later, Winn Claybaugh, dean and co-founder of Paul Mitchell Schools, and John Kanski, co-founded Salty Dawg Pet Salon + Bakery along with partner Gary Ratner, co-founder of Hair Cuttery. The group carried over the level of quality and skill of Paul Mitchell Schools to dog grooming. By Kelsi Trinidad
