INDONESIAN PRINCE NOW RUNS A HAIR SALON
WESTCHESTER, Calif. (Wireless Flash) When 39-year-old Harry Suhendra was growing up in Indonesia, he was the equivalent of a prince thanks to his familys profitable rice distribution company. But these days, hes making 10 times more money just by running two hair salons in the U.S. The Westchester, California, businessman has a masters degree in electrical engineering, but decided to switch to hairdressing because he thought hed make more money snipping locks than wires. Now, Suhendra owns two Fantastic Sams salons and is one of the chains top performers pulling in 800 customers a week at just one of his salons. The ex-engineer is more than happy with his cut of the profitable hair salons, but says if hed gone right into hairdressing, his upper-crust family quote ...would have killed me.
