In 1996, he founded his own consulting firm, Professional Consultants & Resources, specializing in the beauty, salon, spa and cosmetics industries. Cyrus was well recognized as an expert in the industry and often spoke at conferences, served as an expert witness in litigation and provided consulting services to financial groups investing in the global beauty and salon industry.
