PRINCETON — When Jill Cumpton opened Jillians Hair Design on Princeton’s South Main Street a few years ago, the underlying mission of the salon was to provide individualized and pampered care to the clients who walked through the door.

Five years later, that mission has not changed. In fact, Cumpton and those who work with her in the salon have taken that mission to another level, and second-generation salon owner and hairdresser Bennie Pollard of Louisville, Ky., who has his own line of beauty products dubbed “BennieFactor,” has noticed the salon’s commitment to not just service but also to its customers.

Recently, Jillians Hair Design was the winner in a contest, which focused on BennieFactor sales. Because the salon had the highest BennieFactor sales, Pollard made a visit to Princeton.
