Salon Today is the top business publication for owners of salons and spas. It was quite an honor when they named Dermalogica Founder Jane Wurwand a “Woman of Substance” as part of a month-long tribute to successful, inspiring, learning women throughout the professional beauty industry.
From working as an entry-level apprentice at a hair salon as a pre-teen, to formulating award-winning products that are sold in more than 80 countries worldwide, Jane isn’t showing any signs of slowing.
