Melanie HendersonOwner of Therapy Hair Salon and Spa
This is @Work with Dr. Elizabeth Teagarden. For over a decade, Dr. Teagarden has worked with small to medium enterprises to create more drama free workplaces. Here on the @Work podcast, she speaks with presidents, owners and executives of companies about their unique workforce ecosystems and how they create great places to work.
Melanie Henderson is the owner of Therapy Hair Salon and Spa. Therapy is one of the highest-rated salons in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, with two locations, dedicated employees, and a fiercely loyal clientele.
Mel grew up in a trailer park in upstate New York, raised by a loving, but barely literate father. She started doing hair for friends in high school, but instead became a dental hygienist— a career choice she didn’t enjoy. At the urging of her tight knit family, she went back to school, made hair her career, moved to Charlotte and went to work.
Ten years later, she’s built a thriving business in a labor-intensive industry, and leads a workforce of over 25 employees. Melanie Henderson, Olivia Jones and Megan Wilks are our guests on this episode of The @ Work Podcast with Dr. Elizabeth Teagarden.
