oVertone Haircare, Inc. is a fairly new company, but they have a cool story and have been wowing the industry since the beginning! Two young women, Maegan Scarlett and Liora Dudar, co-founded the company in 2014 with a solution to their own frustrations with damaging hair coloring products. Since their inception, the popularity of their products have grown very rapidly! CCP initially helped oVertone negotiate their first lease, then their expansion, and now their lease renewal. Brokers Matt Brower and Matt Weist worked to ensure oVertone received the best terms in Denver's current office market conditions. CCP is honored to represent this local, women-founded company and always grateful to continue to provide tenant representation services. Thank you, oVertone, for your continued business!

It may be the hardest and darkest work we’ll ever do. Mike Valentine’s job is to help us face the fears that hold us back from what we would like to do and provide guidance to remove the obstacles from our path.
