My Salon Suite Launches Client Connect Matchmaker to Drive Member Growth
Powered by mya, the zero-commission matchmaking tool connects clients with suite owners, setting a new tech benchmark in the salon suite industry.
This new tool is all about easy styling on the go, so hairdressers never have to choose what they can and can’t fit in their on-the-go kits.

Olivia Garden has added to their cutting-edge brush line with their new Mini OG Brush Collection, a tool based on the award-winning OG Brush Collection for easily styling on the go.
The two miniature brushes come with the OG Brushes signature removable cushions for easy cleaning and a unique scalp-hugging shape that actively massages the scalp to help promote healthy hair. The Mini Detangler, equipped with gentle bristles and comfortable ballpoint tips, painlessly detangles tough snags in all hair types, leaving both wet and dry hair damage-free. The Mini Styler has a special blend of boar and nylon bristles designed to eliminate frizz and flyaways all while giving hair a smooth, shiny finish.
"Stylists shouldn't have to worry about which brushes they can and can’t fit in their on-the-go kits, so we shrunk our OG Brush Collection™ so you never have to leave them behind," said Anne Maza, Co-Owner of Olivia Garden. "Every product we put on the market is designed to solve a problem for stylists, which is why we figure out how to take all the incredible features of the OG Brush and put it in a smaller, easier to travel-with package. It is also a great item to retail to salon customers!"
The Mini OG Brush Collection will be available at select Olivia Garden retailers and oliviagarden.com.
