YES! I WANT ON THE WAITLIST!

In the meantime, feel free to read more about what RISE Social Academy™ is below...

A simple way to attract dream clients, raise your prices, and get booked out weeks in advance...

Ready to attract the kind of clients who pre-book their appointments, happily pay you what you deserve, and who want the services you love doing?

 ...without feeling overwhelmed or turning Instagram into a second job!

Do you feel like your business is at a stand still? But you’re either too overwhelmed or uninspired to know where to start?

You know you want to fill your days with dream clients who value you and your time and pay those premium prices...but instead you’re...

NOT BOOKED

You know other stylists are getting clients from Instagram...but you have no idea how to grow YOUR following and turn followers into actual paying clients

You’ve tried using Instagram to promote your work, but nothing seems to be working for you and it’s super frustrating

You’re struggling to fill the gaps in your days and so you’re taking on clients and services that you don’t love and in return you’re dreading going to the salon some days.

NOT MAKING ENOUGH MONEY

You’re stressed out, burnt out, and not making enough money. You want to raise your prices and make more...but you’re afraid your clients will leave.

You want to feel excited to do hair, but you’re not exactly thrilled with the clients you’re serving or the services you’re doing… and because of that, you don’t know how to promote your work because you don’t even enjoy what you’re doing.

FEELING STUCK

You’re overwhelmed with all there is to do with Instagram®; from when to post, to how to take pictures, how to write engaging captions, how to attract real followers and turn them into actual clients, etc.

You see other successful stylists killing it on Instagram®, but you don’t know how to stand out  and you wonder what you are doing wrong

You are so overwhelmed with where to start that you feel uninspired to even start to begin with.

No matter what, you know you NEED TO MAKE A CHANGE because what you're currently doing is not working.

You might be afraid that if you don’t change something soon...that you’ll have to get a second job to make ends meet. You’re losing your passion because you aren’t making enough money, you don’t love the clientele you currently have, or you're doing services you don’t enjoy because you feel like you can’t afford to turn any clients away. 

And deep down, you’re afraid that if you don’t start doing SOMETHING different... you may end up hating your career and wanting to actually quit.  

And I know deep down, you love doing hair, but you want to fill your days with dream clients that you look forward to seeing…doing services you love doing…and you want to make good money while doing it! 

➼ You can walk into the salon each day, feeling excited to do hair because you know you’ve got a calendar full of clients you absolutely LOVE working with (and they happily pay for more expensive services)

You can be booked out for months in advance and have a waitlist of dream clients who can’t wait to book an appointment with you

You have clients walking in, handing you their iPhone with YOUR Instagram® page pulled up, showing you your own work as their inspiration photo

You can confidently raise your prices because you’re already booked out 2-3 months in advance. Clients want YOU and YOUR work and are willing to pay for it

You can say no to clients that don’t fill your cup or value your time or work and you can turn down services that you don’t like doing

You can decide you want Saturdays off...or only work 3 days a week...and still make just as much (if not more) money than when you were working 5 days a week

You can have influencers or brands reaching out to feature your work and be able to fulfill your dream of becoming an educator or opening a salon

And what if all of this was possible just by using a simple, proven strategy for getting clients from Instagram?

JOIN THE WAITLIST

How would it change your life if you could be making more money doing what you love?

Would you take a Saturday off every month?

Or decide you’re not working Saturdays at the salon AT ALL?

Imagine what it would be like to make the same amount of money and work 3 days instead of 5…

Or even to make MORE money...even though you’re working less.

I know, I know...it doesn’t seem possible.

I didn’t believe it either until it happened to me.  

I struggled as a hairstylist. I was either bored in the salon, with no clients to work with...or I was working my butt off for clients who didn’t appreciate the value of what I did.

I was only making $152.50 a week…

I was sacrificing so much for so little…And I knew I couldn’t keep doing that...

So I started studying how other hairstylists were growing their businesses on Instagram®…

I started testing. Failing. Making embarrassing mistakes. And failing again.

Until I finally figured it out.

I’ll never forget the first client I got from Instagram

She brought in pics from MY page as inspiration! 

I was shocked! But I knew I was onto something…  

So I kept going.

I started making more money. Clients started coming to me. My Instagram® following started to grow.

And in just a couple years, I had increased my income to the point where I was making over $1,000 a day in the salon.

That’s when I knew that I couldn’t keep this to myself...Instagram® changed my life.  

And now...it’s your turn.

This is exactly why I created RISE Social Academy™...

to take you from stressed out, not booked, and not loving your job...to booked out for months in advance doing hair you love all while spending less than 30 mins a day on your Instagram®.

I’ve done all the work for you...made all the mistakes so you don’t have to...and failed so you can learn from me.

That could truly be your life...because built into RISE Social Academy™ are the exact steps you need to get there.

“I purchased RSA™ because I felt like there was something I was missing about Instagram® that I couldn't figure out!  

Most of my new clients this past month have all been through Instagram®!  

It's so exciting to hear them say, "I found you with "this" hashtag and all your work looked amazing".  

I'm shocked by how many people use Instagram® to find their hairstylists! I feel so confident using Instagram after this program as well as a business person!”

Ashlee Cole @ashleec615 

“I felt lost when it came to Instagram®. I follow tons of hairstylists and they had very professional looking pages and as much as I tried I was missing something.

RSA™ filled in the holes for me! After the first month, I gained over 150 new followers and I book a new color client every week!

I am way more confident in myself and my business after taking Rise Social Academy™! I feel it's helped motivate me to be better in many different areas of my business. I know I'm on my way to achieving my ultimate goal!”

Elise Carter @elisecartersalon

“As a busy mom of two, trying to continue to grow my business, the program was exactly what I needed!

I didn’t have time to research and master Instagram® on my own... and then I found Rise Social Academy™! Everything I needed to learn was instantly at my fingertips. No researching, no failed attempts on my own, and no wasted time.

As a result, I have transformed my Instagram®, grown my following and clientele and most importantly, I haven’t taken time away from my baby boys. Thank you Jamie!!”
