Ron Smith
Owner and stylist
Ron started out as a hairstylist in the area of Brea/Fullerton, CA. He always had dreams to open up his own salon within ten years of being in the industry. His dream came true when he signed the papers that handed over a small salon called The Bent Twig on June 2, 1994, the same day that his second son Austin was born. Within six weeks, Ron had completely remodeled this salon and named it Salon Jourdon. This salon was so successful that within one year they had outgrown the location.
On July 1, 1996, Ron moved to a larger building in the same shopping center so that he could expand on his dream salon and the big plans he had for it. Ron remodeled and updated this salon back in October 2006, then naming it Salon 860 West. This salon is still successfully operating in this location!
Although Ron continues to work 3 days a week styling and managing his salon in Orange County, he and his husband Jon, decided to call Palm Springs their new home in 2015. In 2017, Ron and his husband embarked on a new adventure with the opening of Salon Jarick in Palm Springs. Only one year later, the salon was expanded to add esthetician, massage and nail services.
Ron continually desires for his salons to produce the best work for clients who enter his doors. Ron delights in the fact that when his clients look back at photos of their life’s journey, their hair reflects a permanent fingerprint of his work.
