Dawn M. Ahern
619-559-8912 dawnahern@gmail.com
Profile and Qualifications: Lifestyle Management Professional. I am a
motivated, professional, creative, executive assistant. I have worked with very
high profile individuals, with multiple and complex business concerns. My
experience covers an extremely diverse spectrum and variety of fields, with
strong corporate presentation production, technical and organizational skills.
Comfortable in high profile, VIP and celebrity, events and situations. I have
been working in the salon and beauty industry for 17 years. My abilities
include the following:
Planning meetings, company trainings, events, charity fundraisers and
parties
Creating and proofing press releases, interviews, for trade and consumer
publication
Supervising Photo DVD/Video and Commercial Shoots
Creating and proofing power point presentations
Trade shows every aspect from load -in to sales
Manage and arrange travel domestic, international, (commercial and
private) hotel and ground transportation
Managing extensive and complex calendar
Twenty-plus years experience in orchestrating meetings; facilitating the
production of business seminars and trade shows; coordinating trainings;
planning high-profile events ranging from large-scale educational events to
philanthropic functions and acting as a liaison with senior management as well
as with members of the press have made Dawn Ahern a much sought-after
professional in the field of Lifestyle Management.
Shortly after commencing her career as a hairdresser in 1989, Dawn used her
strong business acumen to pivot from behind the chair to the business side,
where she handled all aspects of salon management, including budgets,
marketing activities and salon promotions In 1991, she began representing
haircare manufacturer John Paul Mitchell Systems, onstage and in the
classroom as an educator, where she quickly established herself as a highly
respected artist, sharing her creative expertise and technical artistry. Soon
thereafter, Dawn transitioned into the important role of Artistic Coordinator
for the San Diego-based Mainline Distributors, where she worked hand-in-
hand with owner and acclaimed hairdressing talent Jeannie Braa, organizing
and conducting Paul Mitchell Advanced Academies, refining the educational
curriculum and offerings and conducting new hire training for education team
members.
In 1995, Dawn joined the San Diego A Robert Cromeans Salon Team, working
alongside gifted businessman and platform artist Robert Cromeans, first as a
hairdresser and show coordinator and later as executive assistant. Her role in
the entrepreneurial organization involved managing travel schedules,
presiding over complex calendars, and overseeing involvement in every aspect
of trade showsfrom load-in to sales. In addition to supervising DVD and
photo shoots, which further demonstrate her proven ability to grasp technical
aspects of production such as lighting and editing, she was also responsible
for the packaging, production sales and editing of three highly successful
motivational CDs.
During her tenure on the A Robert Cromeans Salon team, Dawn quickly
established herself as strong liaison between John Paul Mitchell Systems and
Robert Cromeans, where she facilitated Cromeans responsibilities as Global
Artistic Director at the company while also assisting him with the
development of a Salon empire that grew to include two Las Vegas Salons, two
Southern California locations, a salon in Tulsa, OK, and a Paul Mitchell School
in San Diego.
From working with Tony Rizzo and the Leukemia Foundation on the
Alternative Hair Show production at Londons Royal Albert Hall, to facilitating
trade show sand larger live production, Dawn has consistently demonstrated a
can-do attitude, strong team leadership, an ability to collaborate creatively
and problem-solving credentials that allow her to get the job done.
