Salon Business Coaches Worth Your Time
Not every stylist needs a business coach. But if you’re booth renting, building a book from scratch, raising your prices, or trying to figure out why you’re booked solid but still broke, the right coach can cut years off your learning curve.
This directory features business educators who actually understand appointment-based work. No generic “entrepreneur” coaches. No MLM nonsense. Just people who’ve been behind the chair (or deep in salon operations) and can help you build a calmer, more profitable business.
We don’t take money for listings. Coaches and educators can submit themselves for inclusion. We list educators based on relevance to independent beauty pros and alignment with our point of view: pro-independent, pro-craft, anti-bullshit. Use the search above to find someone who fits your stage and style.
