ColorTyme and RimTyme announced today the hiring of Ryan Alford as the corporate communications specialist. In his new role, Alford will lead both brands' public relations strategies, assist with internal communications and, most importantly, support franchisees.

"For me, joining ColorTyme and RimTyme is a golden opportunity to continue working with independent business owners," explained Alford.
