He attended several commercial photography courses which inspired him to enroll in cosmetology school briefly after moving to Los Angeles. His interest in hair quickly blossomed into a professional career specializing in both cutting and color. As he worked on perfecting his skills, he also started helping a highly successful company develop a product line, which is where he developed an interest in creating products. Chaz Dean quickly climbed the ranks at an upscale salon in Bel Air, becoming manager and soon thereafter, purchasing the salon and building clientele which included an impressive roster of celebrities.
