Meet Chelsea
Originally from Greenville, South Carolina, Chelsea Glissman has proudly called the Midwest home for nearly 16 years. Now based in Kansas City, Missouri, she shares her life with her husband Chris and their two lovable Australian Labradoodles, Ellie & Eden.
Chelsea isn’t just a hair stylist—she’s a passionate business owner, artist, and confidence builder. Her mission is simple: to create a restorative, uplifting experience that leaves every woman feeling seen, pampered, and powerful.
The Salon Experience
Chelsea knows firsthand how busy life gets, and how hard it is to find time for yourself. That’s why she’s built her studio as a sanctuary—a place where every appointment is more than just a service. From zero gravity massage chairs to personalized attention and a deep sense of presence, Chelsea offers her clients more than beautiful hair. She offers a moment of peace, renewal, and reconnection.
Every guest in her chair is treated with the care and focus they deserve. Chelsea believes that connection creates trust, and trust opens the door to truly customized, transformative results. You’ll leave her chair not only looking your best—but feeling empowered, relaxed, and re-energized to take on life.

She is known for crafting hair that is both Pinterest-worthy and practical, tailored to your lifestyle and maintenance preferences. Chelsea’s clients appreciate that she doesn’t just create a look—she builds a plan. From your current appointment to the next three, she’s already thinking ahead to keep your hair healthy, manageable, and consistently stunning.
Education is at the heart of everything she does. Chelsea invests thousands of dollars each year in advanced training, ensuring she brings the latest techniques, trends, and industry best practices to every appointment. Her passion for learning keeps her—and her clients—ahead of the curve.
Beyond the Chair
When she’s not creating beautiful hair, you’ll find Chelsea with a book and a bold glass of cabernet or a rich cup of coffee, working on her latest DIY project, or spending quality time with her family. She’s also a passionate traveler and cultural explorer. With 10 passport stamps and counting, her favorite destinations (so far) are Italy and New Zealand, tied for first place.
Chris Glissman
Entrepreneur | Builder | Brand Storyteller
Overview
Chris Glissman didn’t follow a script to success—he wrote his own. From installing cable in crawlspaces to launching one of the pet industry’s most recognizable brands, his journey has been built on grit, instinct, and a relentless drive to solve overlooked problems. Chris is the founder of Meowijuana®, co-founder of CartTrac LLC and Onawave Wireless, and the driving force behind CG2RE LLC.
Early Career: Boots on the Ground
Raised in a small farm town in northeastern Nebraska, Chris began his career as a Field Engineer at Utili-Comm LLC, installing cable internet, TV, and phone systems. He later joined MicroLNK, where he helped bring wireless internet to underserved rural communities in Nebraska and Iowa.
In 2004, he co-founded Onawave Wireless, providing internet access across the I-29 corridor from Sioux City to Omaha. From tower climbs to hands-on installs, Chris built his reputation as someone who could take on complex infrastructure challenges and deliver real solutions.
GPS Innovation: GPS Technologies and CartTrac LLC
Chris served as CTO at GPS Technologies, where he installed GPS systems on golf carts—offering players yardage tools and operators full fleet tracking. He helped pioneer an on-screen advertising platform, merging hardware with monetization.
In 2010, he co-founded CartTrac LLC, becoming the first to integrate cellular technology into golf cart GPS units and transition the entire tracking system to the cloud. Over the years, Chris personally installed systems at 1,000+ golf courses across the U.S. and Canada. His most notable client: the U.S. Navy golf courses in Southern California, which he proudly served for over a decade.
Meowijuana®: Where Humor Meets Premium Quality
In 2015, Chris turned an old inside joke into a global brand. “Meowijuana” was born in a garage with just four SKUs: premium organic catnip in cheeky packaging. What started as a novelty product became a powerhouse in the pet wellness space.
Today, Meowijuana® is sold in 7,000+ retail locations around the World, including PetSmart and Petco. Chris oversees product development, branding, packaging, supplier relationships, and even content strategy. Meowijuana blends creativity with quality—a reflection of Chris’s unique ability to disrupt markets with humor and heart.
CG2RE LLC: Real Estate with Purpose
In 2023, Chris launched CG2RE LLC, a real estate company focused on affordable housing and long-term value. Inspired by years of listening to Del Walmsley on talk radio, he and his wife joined Lifestyles Unlimited as Preferred Investor Group (PIG) members in August 2023.
Today, they’re invested in three apartment complexes—in Dallas, TX, Knoxville, TN, and Topeka, KS. Their vision is to buy and hold single-family homes, expand into more multifamily syndications, and eventually become Independent Rental Owners (IROs) of their own apartment complex.
CG2RE reflects the same values Chris applies across all ventures: best product, best price, and integrity-driven execution.
Leadership Philosophy
Chris isn’t motivated by buzzwords or headlines—he’s built businesses from the trenches. He lives by two mottos:
“If you don’t want to burn this all to the ground at least twice a week, you’re not entrepreneuring hard enough.”
“I’d rather work 80 hours for myself than 40 for someone else.”
Those aren’t just mantras—they reflect the reality he’s lived. Through long nights, dead ends, and fresh starts, Chris has kept moving forward.
What sets him apart is experience across every rung of the ladder—from crawling under homes to coding cloud platforms, from cold sales calls to national retail rollouts. That breadth gives him a rare perspective and an unmatched edge.
Final Thoughts
Chris Glissman’s path wasn’t mapped out in a business plan—it was shaped by real-world work, hands-on learning, and a deep drive to build what matters. Whether it's a catnip toy, a GPS platform, or renovated real-estate, his goal remains the same:
Build something real. Make people’s lives better. And have a little fun along the way.
