The 90-day system for established salon owners who want to finally take control of their money, pay themselves first, and build a salon that doesn’t rely on them to survive.
→ No more guessing. No more flying blind. Just clarity, confidence, and cash flow that supports the life you actually want.
You’ve built the salon. Now let’s build the profit.
Your salon is successful but is it paying you consistently?
You’ve hit six figures. Maybe even seven. But you’re still the one holding it all together.
You’ve read the books. You’ve downloaded the templates.
You’ve tried to implement Profit First on your own.
It’s not that you’re doing it wrong. It’s that you’re doing it alone.
This isn’t about trying harder or working more.
It’s about having a partner to help you make it happen.
✂️ It's time for a shift:
From overworked to financially in control. From “I hope this works” to “I know exactly where my money is going.” From carrying the weight of the business to building something that runs with or without you.
You’re not confused. You’re not lazy.
You’ve done the research, bought the books, tried to set up Profit First, maybe even created a few extra accounts.
But between managing the team, putting out fires, and still jumping behind the chair when someone calls in sick…
You haven’t had a minute to stop and ask: "Is my business actually working for me?"
Here’s what I know:
Your salon can run without you. But it won’t happen with more Googling or duct-tape strategies.
That’s why I created Chair Free Profits:
A group coaching experience designed to help established salon owners finally pay themselves well, build cash flow that supports their freedom, and structure their business to run without them at the centre.
Inside Chair Free Profits, you’ll implement a salon-specific Profit First system that gives every dollar a job, so you can:
✅ Pay yourself a consistent personal income even when you’re not working
✅ Give every dollar a job so you never ask, “Can I afford this?”
✅ Lay out a real debt-pay down plan without budgeting yourself into burnout
✅ Create a cash flow system that runs without spreadsheets or stress
✅ Build a business that can run without you so you can lead instead of do
👏 This is your turning point.
Not more hustle.
Not more clients.
A financial system that actually works so you can build the life your salon was meant to fund.
You don’t have to hustle harder to feel safe with your money.
✨ Imagine This Instead:
📅 Taking Fridays off…and knowing the salon still runs (and earns) without you
🧠 No more guessing if you can afford something. You’ll know
📦 Ordering backbar supplies without a mini panic
💳 Paying yourself first, finally
📈 Watching your business grow without needing you in every chair
What Clients are Saying
I had the pleasure of working with Janet on implementing the Profit First system for our business. It was a truly a positive experience. Janet is highly responsive, committed, and an excellent communicator. I highly recommend connecting with Janet.
Pino Adessa ● The Staffing Alternative
Janet and her team became the CFO I didn’t know I needed, removing the mental load, giving me a plan, and letting me finally focus on what I enjoy in my business.
Kara Firman ● Guide Hair Salon
Because of Janet's support I successfully transitioned to the Profit First methodology and managing my business finances has never been easier! The program provided lessons in an easily digestible format and speaking with Janet allowed me to tweak what I needed to make it work for me. I highly recommend working with Janet.

❌ You Don’t Need to Fall in Love with Spreadsheets to Get Paid
You’ve probably heard it before:
“You just need to fall in love with spreadsheets and budgets…”
Let’s be honest-that’s not what you signed up for when you became a salon owner.
👉 You’re creative.
👉 You’re visionary.
👉 You’re a leader.
What you need is a system that works with your brain, not against it. One that makes your money easier to manage without late-night panic sessions, colour-coded spreadsheets, or DIY guesswork.
You're Ready if...
This isn’t for someone still trying to figure things out.
This is for the salon owner who’s already built something real and is ready for it to run like a business, not a job.
✔️ You’ve been in business 5+ years and are making $850K–$1M+
✔️ You’ve read Profit First, or tried some version of it, but it never stuck
✔️ You know your salon can run without you…you just need the right system
✔️ You’re done Googling, guessing, and going it alone
✔️ You’re ready to step out from behind the chair and into the CEO role your salon needs you to be in
Let’s get your salon working for you.
Chair Free Profits is your 90-day reset. This is the same system I use with my 1:1 salon owner clients to help them step back, build profit into their day-to-day, and create a business that pays them even when they’re not behind the chair. Now, I’m bringing that same system to this small-group coaching container so you get the expert strategy, with built-in support to implement it fully.
It’s not just a course. It’s your turning point.
A chance to finally step into the role your salon’s been waiting for you to claim: CEO.
❌ Walk in with:
– A business that depends on you
– Unclear numbers
– No time to lead
And
✅ Walk out with:
– A salon that runs with or without you
– A cash-flow system and profit plan
– Business leadership with confidence
Here’s how it works:
Week 1–4: Clean up your numbers
Week 5–8: Build your profit plan
Week 9–12: Step into CEO with cash flow clarity
You’ll walk out with a cash-flow system, a profit plan, and the confidence to lead without being behind the chair.
