Hair Happiness

‘When Paul and I started John Paul Mitchell Systems forty-five years ago, we knew that when people feel good about how they look, they are happier and more confident. With this in mind, we created products that enabled people to recreate and maintain their hairstyles at home, between visits to their hairdressers. Leslie Spears and his co-authors have taken this to the next level with Hair Happiness, empowering readers with the reasoning and tools to have more effective communication with their stylists, and be more loving towards their hair – which is something that everybody should be able to do!’

— John Paul DeJoria, Co-Founder and Chairman, John Paul Mitchell Systems

‘Leslie was one of the most inspirational men that I have ever had the privilege to know. To the very end, all Leslie wanted to do was to pass on to others all that he had learned in life. Leslie knew just how important your hair could be. Hair can change your life, be the difference between success, failure and good fortune, and that’s what this book can bring to you. Leslie and his co-authors have tackled this subject with sensitivity and skill, drawing upon their combined expertise in business and personal development. This is a thoroughly unique book that will serve as a catalyst to change many lives in the same way that 365 Day Hairdressing did for salon owners and tens of thousands of hairdressers.’

— Mike Balfour OBE, Co-Founder, Fitness First

‘Even after his passing, Leslie continues to teach us every aspect of hair and haircare. Always the professor, always the businessman, Leslie had the incredible talent to connect the art of hair with the business of hair, and because of that, so many of us have been shown the road to finding our unlimited potential. Personally, I am so thankful I was able to call Leslie my very good friend for many years. I am so pleased that others will be able to tap into Leslie’s wisdom and that of his co-authors, Keith, Sharon and Alison, thanks to this book.’

— Luke Jacobellis, President and CEO, John Paul Mitchell Systems, retired

‘What a joy and privilege it is to see Leslie’s wisdom and passion for hairdressing and the success of hairdressers captured so beautifully in this book. His teachings have shaped and inspired decades of my life, and I’m deeply grateful that his generous spirit lives on through these pages – for those of us who knew him well, and for all those who will come to know him through these words.’
