Flourish Salon Business Development launches Thrivers Society Prep School to give beauty professionals a clear path to setting and achieving their business goals.

Flourish Salon Business Development announces the launch of Thrivers Society Prep School, which it describes as "the ultimate hair stylist business-building crash course."
“The cosmetology school system is designed to primarily teach basic consumer safety, but graduates are left without any business or marketing skills to actually grow a profitable business,” says Britt Seva, CEO of Flourish Salon Business Development and founder of Thrivers Society. “With Thrivers Society Prep School, stylists and salon owners get the business, marketing, and financial habits to prepare them for their wealthiest year yet.”
With a four-module format and a 21-page PDF workbook, the $69 program is designed to give beauty pros a clear breakdown of where their business stands today, where they want it to be in the future, and simple strategies to get there. Prep School also gives students a taste of the Thrivers Society methodology, which comprises three Method programs:
Thriving Stylist Method: teaches how to create and implement a predictable, proven business growth plan and marketing strategy.
Scaling Stylist Method: designed for high-performing salon professionals with established businesses who want to achieve the next level in their career.
Thriving Leadership Method: guides owners/managers in building an inspirational and effective salon culture, attracting driven stylists, and leading a salon team on the path to profitability.
The instruction at Thrivers Society Prep School is led by Seva, an industry-renowned expert business coach who was named one of MODERN SALON's "100 or 2021."
