In 2001—before the first iPhone or social media platform existed—she automated her salon, pioneering online booking and client tech. Now, as the founder of Think Your Way to a Million and How To Marketing Pro, she empowers entrepreneurs to scale their business with bold strategy, storytelling, and systems.

Guess what? … Do you stress sometimes that you cannot answer the phone, or if you do then you throw your entire schedule off.

Or have you had a client or possible new client even get frustrated with you because you didn’t respond fast enough?

Does this sound too familiar?

Maybe you are scared to let go of your “control”, and the though of using AI and Tech actual scares you. I get it.

This is my “True Story” and I use AI to answer my phone… and I’m a hairstylist, too!

Larger Salon Software companies always “sold” me software… and but I often wondered if they really knew what it was like to be ACTUALLY behind the chair?…..

I know 100% the in’s and outs of what stresses a hairstylist out because I’m not someone that “sells” AI… I’m active in the hair industry for 30+ years, and I am one of “you” “us”.

My point of difference is that back in 2001, I implemented online booking for my now hair extension salon and that was before the very first iPhone came out or even social media.



Did you know that 40% of bookings that are missed actually occur after hours?

Now, check out how my Actual AI receptionist helped a new client and do you want to know the truth about this?

I was at home hanging out in my pool that day….

LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE CALL…. and then think about how much easier your life could be right now.

How Much Are Missed Phone Calls Costing you?…

Possibly the same amount as your rent or car payment or more a month!



Only 1 Phone Call = $525 in Rescued Salon Sales!

This is an actual screenshot from my salon.
*Disclaimer – Not all results will be the same, and the amount of results can never be gauranteed.

But one thing is for sure…. when you do miss a call and then call your competitor, then your competitor now has what could of been your client and your money, but now it’s in their pocket.

As a hard working stylist…are you really that generous that you would donate an opportunity to another salon down the street because maybe you are just “banking” on that that missed caller will call back or leave a voicemail like it is 2001?

Not happening.
