For the Beauty Industry
Salon & Stylist Consulting
I'm passionate about salon safety, stylist health and wellness, and pricing that actually reflects the value of what you do. I wrote Beyond Basics, a salon & stylist chemical safety textbook, and most of my consulting work comes down to two things: fewer, better-priced services, and safer days at the chair.
This work often pairs naturally with a new site — a menu rewrite tends to change what your service pages should even say.
-
Menu Simplification
Reducing a bloated service list down to a straightforward hourly cut or chemical rate, so pricing is simple for you to hold and easy for clients to understand.
-
Charge What You're Worth
Product costs for chemical services get billed separately from your hourly rate — so you're never quietly eating the cost of the color you just used, and you actually get paid more at the end of the day.
-
1:1 Salon Safety Coaching
Chemical safety, ingredient literacy, and compliance — explained in plain language, not OSHA-speak.
-
Safer Workflows
Day-to-day workflows redesigned to cut down chemical exposure, without slowing down your chair time.

The Parlor — a safety test salon
I built a test salon for the gold standard of safe work.
Before I consulted on any of this, I built the thing I now teach. The Parlor was my salon in Seattle — a working shop I ran as a live safety lab, a place to completely rethink how stylists move through a day. I rewrote the protocols, redesigned the workflows, and installed ventilation and safety equipment that no other salon in the city had.
Everything got tested on real days with real clients: what actually lowers chemical exposure, what stylists will genuinely stick to, and what's just theater. What worked became the standard. What didn't got thrown out.
I closed The Parlor in October 2020, while I was recovering from COVID — and, honestly, from nearly losing my life to it. Long COVID kept me from traveling and from finishing every last protocol myself. So the pieces I couldn't test alone, I trusted to salons I'd come to know as partners — to put through their paces on real days with real clients. That work — mine and theirs — is the foundation of Beyond Basics and the consulting I do now: safer workflows, honest pricing, and plain-language chemical safety.
These days I'm also building Hair Hugger — a booking software app with safety protocols and workflows built right in, plus business workflows that keep stylists from undercharging for their work.
