Today we’d like to introduce you to Crystal Resch.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Crystal. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
In a world with endless opportunities, I knew I wanted a career where I could help people. But life threw a curveball at me when I found out I was pregnant at a young age. I now needed to pursue a career that would not only support myself, but my daughter, too. Hairdressing was an industry that would allow me to get my license within a year, and then allow countless opportunities for growth within the business while making as much income as I needed. The most rewarding part? Helping others feel good about themselves and building life-long relationships at the same time.
I started as an assistant with Toni & Guy in 2001 at the Fiesta Mall location. But I saw past the monotonous duties of rotating laundry, wiping the base boards of the floor, and shampooing as many people as I could. I was always keeping my goal in mind – to become an owner. I worked hard, put in the extra hours, and took great care of my clients. I was promoted to Assistant Salon Director in 2003. But I didn’t stop there. I was then given the opportunity to transfer and help develop the new Toni & Guy location at San Tan Village. So, in 2007, I moved myself, my daughter, and my business, to Gilbert. Now being in the up-and-coming area of Gilbert, Queen Creek, and San Tan Valley, Toni & Guy thrived. I was promoted to Salon Director in 2009 and continued to help establish Toni & Guy San Tan Village. All my hard work was paying off not only for myself, but for the salon. It was then in 2015 I was finally given the offer to become a Salon Owner to the newest location, Tempe Marketplace. Three salons, one move, and countless shampoos later, I had finally accomplished my dream.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Every dream starts with a trial. For me, it was discovering a team that shared the same dream and passion. Gradually, the right team came along and found their places here at Toni & Guy Tempe Marketplace. We are a team that grows as a family. Working together towards the success of Tempe Toni & Guy.
