GET EARLY ACCESS EXPLORE CIRCLES

What are Circles?

Circles are topic-focused rooms for different roles in the industry — stylists, barbers, owners, nail techs, influencers, educators, and students. Think “back room conversations,” but organized, searchable, and actually helpful.

Ask questions you can’t ask on the salon floor.
Get practical answers from people doing the work right now.
Learn what’s working — and what’s not — in different markets.

Is it live?

Right now, Circles show a realistic preview so you can see the vibe and the kind of conversations we’re building. Circles go fully live as the community grows.

Early members help set the tone — respectful, honest, and useful.

Anonymity + safety

You can participate anonymously or use your real name/handle — your call. Either way, privacy matters here.

No client names. No screenshots. No doxxing.
Respect first. Debate ideas — don’t attack people.
Advocating for stylist rights is welcome. Politics isn’t.

What we talk about

This is the stuff that impacts your money, your time, and your quality of life:

Pricing + raises, deposits, no-shows, redo policy, consultations
Commission structures, growth paths, retail pressure, non-competes
Boundaries, scheduling, team culture, burnout, work-life balance
