Find out what a difference a couple of years can make in the life of an independent salon professional!
You are a business of one, but you don't have to feel overwhelmed. If you're an independent salon professional, here are some great options for automating your business operations so you can get busy creating beauty.
Announced live during a special in-person ceremony at the Drover Hotel in Fort Worth, TX, these are the independent artists who took home the win.
Imagine being your own boss, making more money, having more creative freedom and a better work/life balance, all while doing what you love in an environment that fits your personality.

Barbers, stylists, and any beauty professional who is working independently will benefit from outlining a clear set of rules and then communicating them to their guests--early and often. As Tish Clark, a stylist in Michigan puts it: "I'm the boss and I run my salon suite with respect, integrity, boundaries, and professionalism."
"In my early days, just starting out, I would say I was much more lax on policies as I was just concerned about getting clients in the door and paying bills, so I would work as long and as hard as needed for all clients due to the fear of losing them. Not anymore..."
Hunter Donia (@hairbyhunty) is a solo artist in Lancaster, PA, working in a Sola Salon Suite, who says he is all about boundaries and policies.
This first-time event was held in Hollywood, CA. Attendees received education and guidance from some of the professional salon industry's strongest coaches and mentors, while also connecting with each other.
Salon professionals choose Sola for many reasons: to set their own schedule, experience more privacy with guests, create a one-of-a-kind salon culture and make more money, for starters. But mainly, it’s about freedom and control.

At an in-person event in Hollywood, MODERN SALON will be hosting a full day of business presentations from industry leaders who are showing up to help independent stylists get a jump on the new year. Content will range from social media, to pricing strategies, to creating systems for success. Connect with other independents, get smart advice from the very best and get your business in fighting shape!
"Moving from a traditional salon to your own studio can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. No salon was EVER built in one day." Bianca Margolis shares how she figured out her vision for her salon and her business.
Independent salon owners are invited to attend this virtual education event featuring the industry’s best!
Making the move from an employee-based salon to the independent contractor model is a very personal, one-size-does-not-fit-all for stylists. Here’s how one hairdresser has experienced the change.
