Stylists get access to exclusive masterclasses organized by our suppliers, plus essential training on color lines, perm solutions, and new products to ensure you’re always up to date with the latest techniques and innovations in the industry.

  • We’ve built multiple channels to help you grow your clientele. Our loyalty program keeps guests coming back, while our marketing support and social media promotion showcase your work to a wider audience. Plus, our prime locations with high foot traffic ensure a steady stream of new clients walking through the door.
