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,

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 shows
from 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.
