Sound familiar?

If any of these hit a little too close, you’re in the right chair.

  • You’re booked solid some weeks and panicking others, and you can’t figure out the pattern.
  • You know you should “do marketing,” but Instagram makes you want to lie down.
  • You undercharge because raising your prices feels terrifying, even though you’re worth it.
  • You’re talented, you’re tired, and you’re doing all of this alone.

None of that means you’re bad at business. It means nobody ever taught you this part. So let’s fix that.

Rachel Allen in her salon studio

Hi, I’m Rachel

I built the business I wish someone had handed me a map to.

I started in an empty salon suite with a folding chair and a lot of nerve. No clients, no website, no clue how Google worked. I figured out the websites, the local SEO, the emails, and the pricing the slow and expensive way. By doing it.

Now my chair stays full and my business actually supports my life. In My Salon is where I hand you the map, so it takes you months instead of years. I’m not a guru. I’m the stylist three suites down who finally cracked the business part and won’t shut up about it.

What I teach

Five things, taught all the way through.

01

Your Salon Website

The home base that books clients while you’re with one.

02

Getting Found

Local SEO, Google, Pinterest, blogging. Be the salon they find first.

My toolkit

The exact tools I use to run all of this.

The website, the booking system, the email tool, the apps, even what’s at my station. No secret stack, no gatekeeping. Just the honest list, including the stuff with no affiliate link in it for me.
