If your salon falls apart without you, this is for you.

I help salon owners build a salon that gives them their life back.

You don’t need to do everything to be a successful salon owner.

If you’re the one fixing the problems, making the calls, and keeping everything moving, it’s hard to ever switch off, even when you’re doing everything “right”.

This is a space for salon owners who want support that actually fits real life.

Coaching, resources, and practical tools to help you lead with more clarity, build stronger systems, and stop carrying the business on your own.

G'day,
I'm Michelle

I help salon owners build strong leadership, clear systems, and teams that don’t rely on them every day.

After building and running two successful salons myself, I know the pressure of carrying it all and what it takes to step back without things falling apart.

Everything I teach is practical, proven, and built to work in your salon.

Because real freedom doesn’t come from hustle.

It comes from leadership, systems, and support that stick.

i'm here because I believe

The salon industry deserves better than burnout, poor leadership, and broken culture.

I’ve lived it. I’ve built it. I’ve tested it, running salons with large teams, in high-pressure environments, and in places where I didn’t even speak the language.

What I teach isn’t theory. It’s proven leadership, systems, and culture that actually work on the salon floor.

Leadership launchpad

FEBRUARY COHORT COMING SOON

This is a hands-on leadership program where you work directly with Michelle through live calls, guided implementation, and community support. You’ll use proven leadership frameworks, ready-to-use systems, and practical tools that have been tested in real salons. 

Leadership Launchpad opens just twice a year. You won’t just learn what to do, you’ll put leadership structures in place, implement systems that stick, and build teams that don’t rely on you every day.

“Leadership Launchpad gave me clear direction and practical leadership tools I could actually use. Nothing felt fluffy or generic, and you can tell Michelle has real hands-on experience behind everything she teaches.”

I knew my stylist was going to quit before she did.

Every year, I give my team a check-in that goes deeper than small talk. Their answers reveal everything I need to know about their mindset, motivation, and whether they’re thinking about leaving.

Want to know what your team’s really thinking? Get the exact check-in I use.

Sick of chasing your team to see if everything’s done?

A fast, no-drama checklist your team uses before they take a break, duck out early, or even pause between clients. It's the ultimate clarity tool. No more guessing, no more “I didn’t realise,” no more mental load.

Strong days don’t happen by accident.

The days where “just a few clients” turns into missed lunches, forgotten consults, and a coffee cup on the reception desk that no one claims. That’s why the Morning Meeting Ritual is non-negotiable in my salons and now you’ve got the exact template we use.

You don’t need to do this alone

If you’re ready to stop holding everything together yourself and start leading with confidence, I’m here to help.

Whether you begin with free resources, the podcast, or coaching, this is where salon owners come to build businesses that don’t rely on them.

I’m not here to teach fluff. I’m here to fire up the room. As a coach, educator, and salon owner, I speak on the real stuff: team culture, leadership, and the systems that make a salon thrive.

Real stories, smart strategies, and the salon advice you actually need.

After working with Michelle, I feel I have grown so much as a business owner...I have become a better leader for my team
