Synergy has been a great success for us. Instead of trying to manage a huge shop of more than 100 technicians – with Chris’ help, we formed smaller shops (teams) of 8-10 technicians. This made each team feel more empowered to make decisions in their own areas of expertise. Their attitudes changed! They weren’t just out for the dollar but took a more personal responsibility in making sure every car was perfect for delivery. As a result, our customer satisfaction ratings rocketed! We now work more effectively as a team to satisfy our discerning and demanding customers.” - Bob Evans, Senior Service Manager, Fletcher Jones Mercedes Benz

Subject: Some News and a "Thank You"
Dear Chris,
Back in the early 1990's you took on the awesome task of helping "Carlton Hair" move from the middle market in hair , a $30.00 haircut, built on strong hairdressing, to with your help move into the affordable quality market where the average Carlton ticket is now $100, this took an undawnting spirit and passion that still exists today of Regis's 11,500 salons 2 out of the top 3 are Carltons. During that time you met me as educational director and we had an amazing time together Synergizing and tripping along the "Hair Highway' together. You , I felt always saw things in me that I didn't see in myself and in the late 1990's I moved from active education into the political side of hairdressing. Hairdressing reform, apprentice reform, Beauty industry, Under "Opal", I and Ted Nelson, formed the ‘Professional Beauty Federation of California’ talk about a road less traveled. Today we are the voice of the beauty industry in California we have the respect of the Governor ( He's passed and vetoed for pro industry bills in the industry's behalf, the legislature respects our input and our lobbyist, and as of 11/05 the Governor not only appointed me to be an "Industry member to the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology", but in May I was voted in as Board president, over 450.000 Beauty professionals in California, Cosmetologists, Barbers, Estheticians, Manicurists ,Electrologists, over 45,000 Beauty Establishments and over 250 Beauty Schools, Under my board we now have state-state reciprocity, apprentice reforms and so many new reforms we are budgeted out until fiscal year 08. There was a time when the business of Carlton could have been put ahead of politics, But James, Russell, Jean, and you Chris always said we must move forward to reform California’s Beauty Industry, well now I can say , I have the keys to the car and we are heading in the right direction, Just a long awaited report card to an old friend, and many thanks for believing that change is possible if you just don’t give up !
My best to your wife, as always your friend, Jerry Tyler/ Director of Education and Industry Relations
