Meet Your AACS State Rep: Kansas

Len Melvin (Kansas)
Hays Academy of Hair Design, Co-Owner and Marketing

How long have you been in the beauty school business?  
11 years (seven years full-time)
 
What is something people would be surprised to know about you?  
I taught at the middle school level and coached high school sports for eight years. My mom was a college teacher and dean for 35 years, so education has been in my blood. I get to work with my beautiful wife daily and we have three very beautiful girls. Aspen is 9 (in two weeks), Willow is 7 and Lendyn is 3.
 
Why is it important for you to be involved with AACS and the State Relations Committee? 
John Halal introduced us to the AACS at a Nuts and Bolts Conference. He explained why we needed to become members and made us aware of the importance of getting involved. Since then, we became members, attend the conventions regularly and appreciate everything so much. Because of this, I have become eager to get involved in an effort to help in any way possible. There are too many benefits to risk missing out on!
