ABOUT LOCAL LUXURY EDUCATION
Every stylist knows the feeling of leaving a class inspired, buzzing with ideas, ready to bring a new technique back to the salon. Your clients are thrilled, you’re excited to offer something fresh, yet there’s one piece missing. How do you price this new service? How do you market it? And most importantly, how do you ensure it’s actually profitable?
Most education teaches technical skills only. Very few teach the business behind it. That gap is what stops talented stylists from translating inspiration into income.
Local Luxury exists to change that.
We are Lesley and Suzie, and together we built Local Luxury to give stylists the clarity, confidence, and structure they’ve been missing. Suzie brings years of experience as a technical educator and her in-salon work of building balayage and blonde looks with keratin bond extensions. Lesley brings formal business education, salon owner experience, 20 years of luxury extension expertise, and a proven track record of building a profitable salon and education brand. Together, we’ve created a system that helps stylists turn their skills into sustainable revenue.
Our approach blends technical refinement with real business strategy. You’ll learn how to price for profit, calculate costs, understand demand, and deliver services that save time behind the chair while increasing your income. These tools apply to any service you offer, ranging from color services to extensions to specialty techniques.
With Local Luxury, you can finally bridge the gap between inspiration and profitability. We teach you how to elevate your craft and income, so you’re not just breaking even, you’re building a business that supports your goals.
