The passion to run his own business was ingrained in him at a very early age, and he knew that one day, he would fulfill this lifelong ambition.

Supercuts, part of Regis Corporation, is one of the largest and most well known salon franchises. But he wasn’t convinced and I had some coaching to do. Luckily, Prabhdeep heeded the advice and today he is the proud owner of 10 Supercuts locations.
