For years I poured my energy into helping salons recruit talent and market themselves to grow. But I kept circling back to the same question: why does our industry struggle so much to keep people in salon careers?
That curiosity became a deep desire to solve it. I wanted to understand leadership, retention, and what truly makes teams last.
I have spent my career as a stylist, salon owner, executive, consultant, and now doctoral researcher working on my doctorate in organizational psychology, digging into these very questions. The Leadership Lab is part of this first of its kind research, and by joining you not only grow as a leader — you contribute to the work that will shape the future of retention in professional beauty.
What I have learned is that when leaders grow their confidence and raise their frequency, everything shifts. Teams stay, culture strengthens, and businesses thrive.
And the best part? You do not have to carry leadership alone or let it feel heavy. With the right tools and support, leadership can feel fulfilling, easeful, and even energizing.
