Our Story
Modern Images Inc. was founded in 2002 in Indianapolis, Indiana as a platform to launch our award winning Salon and Day Spa, Mode Salon. After several years of working with a variety of new Hair Stylist recruits, we felt the need to develop a systematic method of preparing young graduates to undertake the difficult and challenging work of giving high quality client care to a very discerning group of clients. Our method became known as The Mode Way™. The Mode Way™ was a system to teach Stylists how to engage clients in meaningful ways to help increase revenue, drive retention and generate referrals.
First Impressions AND Lasting Impressions matter in the Salon Industry as the interactions truly define the term Personal Services. The Mode Way™ became a multidisciplinary system based on Stage Acting, Toastmasters Training, Corporate Sales and Marketing and the daily feedback derived from countless Client-Staff interactions.
Around 2006 after launching a Photography Business and having the opportunity to work with local models, Alan Hayes realized the system of coaching Image Professionals to be their best could be extended to help those in everyday life achieve their goals as well. After further research and development in addition with Rhonda Hayes using the concepts of Image to counsel her clients, the Salient Focus™ process was born in 2006.
