Culture and the Champaign School of Beauty Culture were opened by early pioneers in the field of cosmetology
education. In 1967, the Decatur school was purchased and renamed "Mr. John's," and in 1987,
the Champaign school moved to Urbana and became Mr. John's' second campus. In 1998, Mr. John's
expanded into West Central Illinois with the purchase of the Jacksonville site.
