Support for the people who keep Main Street alive

REAL TOOLS. REAL QUESTIONS. REAL INDUSTRY CONVERSATIONS.

Project On Main is building a better home base for service professionals — a place to compare pay, pricing, policies, culture, career paths, and the decisions people usually have to figure out alone. Explore the tools, enter your Circle, and use the site like a reality check when something feels off.
START HERE
Use What If when you need to think through a move. Use Reports when you want data and context. Use the Pricing Guide when your numbers feel off. Use Circles when you want to get into the conversations behind the numbers. This homepage should feel like the front door to all of it.
Tools + guidance
These should feel like the strongest reasons to stay on the site and keep exploring.
WHAT IF
SCENARIOS + DECISIONS

Use What If when you are weighing a move, a pay structure, a pricing change, a booth rent situation, a toxic environment, or a policy that does not sit right. It should help people slow down, compare outcomes, and think more clearly before they react.

REPORTS
PAY + MARKET CONTEXT

Reports are where Project On Main starts showing its teeth a little more. They should help people compare wages, structures, expectations, and market realities in a way that feels useful, not preachy. If someone wants numbers, this is where they should go.

CIRCLES
ROLE-BASED ROOMS

Circles are the community side of the project. Stylists, barbers, owners, nail techs, educators, influencers, and more should be able to land in a room that actually feels built for them. The homepage should always point people back to these rooms.

PRICING GUIDE
REGIONAL REALITY CHECK

Pricing is one of the easiest places to undercut yourself or misread the market. The Pricing Guide gives people a cleaner way to compare where they are, what nearby professionals may be charging, and whether they are behind, ahead, or simply overdue for an adjustment.

SUPPORT SB 11
We are not making this the loudest thing on the homepage, but it still matters. If you want to understand the issue, follow the page, or quietly support the effort, the information is there.
