Run the business.
Stop being run by it.
Most salon owners never make the leap from behind the chair to the owner's chair. I help you make that shift and build a business that runs on systems, not on you.

I'm not teaching you
from a memory
My salon is open right now, and I'm solving this week's problems right alongside you.
What I've built is attainable because I was in your shoes not that long ago. My life is still messy half the time, and that's exactly why my mentorship works. When you work with me, you get me. Not a course, not a template, not a handoff. Me, in your corner, in real time.
We work on the things that are actually happening in your salon, the decisions you're making, the problems you're trying to solve, and the next steps that will move your business forward. No guessing what to do next. No trying to figure it all out alone.

I was you not that long ago, and honestly, my life is still messy half the time too. When you work with me, you get me. Directly. Not a course to watch alone, not a one-size-fits-all template, not a handoff to someone else. Me, in your corner, in real time.
Before I was telling other owners what I wish someone had told me...
I was figuring it out myself
I opened Six/Ten in 2019, in a small Pennsylvania town where nobody else was willing to bet on a salon like this. I had zero experience running a business. I learned it the hard way, in real time, the same way I’ll help you figure out what works for your salon.
Four chairs became sixteen. Four team members became thirty. A $400,000 salon became a $2.3 million business. None of it happened because I had it figured out on day one.
And that growth, along with the culture we built along the way, has earned us a spot as a Salon Today Top 200 Salon four years running.
From Salon Owner to Mentor
As Six/Ten grew, other salon owners started reaching out to ask how we did it. They wanted to know how we built a team people wanted to stay on, created a culture people wanted to be part of, and implemented the systems that fueled our growth.
Those conversations naturally turned into mentorship. Today, I help salon owners build businesses that don't depend on them for every decision, using the same leadership principles, systems, and strategies that transformed Six/Ten. Because building a successful salon shouldn't mean sacrificing your life to keep it running.
I’m living what I teach

The Owner’s Chair
You don't have a knowledge problem.
You have a doing-it-alone problem.
That's what this is built to fix.
A month-to-month, one-to-one strategic
partnership for salon owners.
Strategy every two weeks with someone who still runs a multi-million-dollar salon. I find what's actually holding your business back, tell you exactly what to do next, and make sure you do it, so you can step out of the one job everyone else on your team can do, and into the one only you can fill.
No contract. No one-size-fits-all playbook.
Just real-time help from someone still in it.
