HITTING THE TARGET

This class helps stylists get crystal clear on who they serve and how to speak directly to them through intentional, effective social media. You'll learn how to define your ideal guest using five key target market categories, and how to create content that actually attracts them.

If you’re ready to turn your dream clients into real ones, this is where it starts.

MARKETING BY DESIGN

This class is your roadmap to being found by the right clients, without burning out on Instagram.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining your approach, this session will help you market with purpose, not pressure and finally turn your talent into traction.

THE LOYALTY LOOP

This class dives deep into the real secret behind sustainable success: client retention. Des shows how loyalty, not likes, reels, or followers is what drives true growth, referrals, and financial freedom.

SEAMLESS STRUCTURES

Whether you’re overwhelmed by no-shows, inventory chaos, or just can’t seem to find time for the business side of things, this session gives you tools and strategies to streamline it all. Because real growth isn’t just about being booked, it’s about being balanced.
