Why You Need an Experienced Hair Extension Business Coach

Let’s keep it real. Not all coaching is created equal.


You can sit through a “business coaching” program, listen to hours of talk about funnels and ads, and still walk away wondering what that has to do with your actual salon chair.


Because here’s the truth: not every salon business coach understands the hair extension industry. Almost none of them understand what it’s like to spend hours on an extension install, price it too low out of fear, and then end the day exhausted with barely enough profit to show for it.


That’s where the gap is.


And that’s why extension artists need a different kind of support.


✨ Real Talk: I’ve Been There


When I started, I hustled like crazy. I worked late nights, took every client, and said yes to prices that didn’t make sense.


And you know what? I was exhausted. My books looked full, but my bank account didn’t.


That’s when I realized my talent wasn’t the problem; my strategy was.


I had to figure out pricing, positioning, and rebooking the hard way. Once I did, everything shifted. I scaled to a multi-six-figure extension business, trained thousands of stylists, and built a community where artists could finally stop guessing and start growing.


That’s why I coach differently. I know how it feels to sit in your shoes.


✨ Where General Business Coaches Miss the Mark


Most general coaches can offer something for your business.


But the salon industry, especially the extension side of it, is its own monster.


Here’s what I see all the time:

👉 Coaches who talk about running ads but have never run a consultation.

👉 Pricing advice that doesn’t account for install time, rebooking cycles, or product costs.

👉 Strategies that work in theory but collapse the moment you’re double-booked and trying to breathe.

👉 No understanding of why being “busy” doesn’t mean being “booked.”


So you leave those sessions with a notebook full of ideas but no real plan for how to turn your talent into profit.


And worse? You start thinking maybe you’re the problem.


You’re not. The coaching was just too generic.


✨ Why an Industry-Specific Salon Business Coach Changes Everything


This is where a salon business coach with real industry experience comes in.


Someone who’s stood behind the chair, built a booked-out calendar, raised prices the scary way, and figured out how to do it all without burning out.


That’s the kind of coaching extension artists need because it’s built on what actually works in our world.


You get insider information on:

✨ How to price installs so you stop apologizing for your rates.

✨ How to run consultations that lead to deposits on the spot.

✨ How to position yourself as the go-to extension specialist in your market.

✨ How to rebook and retain clients so your calendar fills itself.


It’s not about theory. It’s about lived experience.


✨ Proof from Stylists Just Like You


You don’t have to take my word for it.


Christy joined my 6-week "Get Booked Fast" program, and this is what she said:

“It completely shifted. It was a little overwhelming because it literally happened so fast… it was like popcorn. I was staring at my phone, watching all of these people book. Not only are people booking, but so many are leaving deposits without even having a consultation.”

That’s the power of working with someone who’s been there and done it. ⚡️

Apply to the "Get Booked Fast" program and get the proven methods to scale your hair extension business to 6+ figures, from a 25+ year hair extension master.

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of “more hustle, same results,” maybe the problem isn’t you. Maybe it’s that you’ve been getting the wrong kind of coaching.


You don’t need another generic program that doesn’t speak your language. You're looking for a salon business coach who understands extensions, pricing, consultations, and everything that comes with building a premium brand behind the chair.
