support for salon, spa and beauty business owners navigating what's next.

welcome. glad you're here.

Most salon and spa owners don’t start their business thinking about how they’ll eventually leave it.

But there comes a point, sometimes quietly and sometimes all at once, when something begins to shift.

You might feel:

Burned out or ready for a different pace
Curious about what your business is actually worth
Unsure if your current model is sustainable long-term
Or simply ready to explore what else is possible

Wherever you are in that process, how you exit matters. This isn’t just a financial decision.
It’s a leadership decision And it deserves to be approached with clarity, strategy, and care.

what i offer

At Kinfolk Rising, I support salon and spa owners through the full lifecycle of their business, from building and growth to transition and exit.

While my consulting and brokerage services are separate, they often work together to help owners make aligned, informed decisions about what comes next.

As a trained business broker, I work with the only salon, spa and beauty business dedicated brokerage in the united states, salonspa connection.

as a former salon owner who built, scaled and sold my own salon, i understand the nuances of our industry unlike many generalist brokers.

This work is for you if:

You’re considering selling your salon or spa within the next 6–24 months
You’re unsure whether selling is the right move, but want to explore your options

You want to exit in a way that protects your team, your reputation, and your legacy
