Real talk.
Real growth.
A mentorship community for beauty professionals who are done with the noise and ready to build something real.
I'm Abigail Lacey.
I've owned Elle Society Salon for five years. Before that, I was behind the chair full-time — and I loved it. But somewhere along the way I realized that loving hair and leading a business are two very different roles, and our industry doesn't prepare you for either one the way it should.
When my friend Ashlee Vance founded Heal the Industry, the mission was simple — our industry doesn't need louder voices or more hustle. It needs healed leaders. People willing to lead from wholeness instead of burnout. As a mentor inside the community, I focus on leadership and marketing — the things no one teaches you in beauty school but everyone needs to figure out. The honest conversations about building clientele, stepping into leadership, navigating slow seasons, and creating a career that doesn't require burning out to prove you care.
Whether you're a stylist just getting started or an owner trying to figure out how to lead without doing everything yourself — there's a space here for you.
Find your space.
One community for stylists at every level. One for salon owners and managers ready to lead.
- Building and retaining clientele
- Social media that actually books clients
- Navigating apprenticeships and career growth
- Confidence, slow seasons, and the real stuff
- A community of stylists who get it
- Live mentorship calls on real leadership topics
- Stepping into the owner role (and out of the stylist role)
- Building systems so your salon runs without you holding every piece
- Delegation, team development, and letting go
- A room of owners who understand the weight
What to expect.
Honest conversations
No fluff. No generic motivation. Just real talk about what this career and industry actually require.
Real strategy
Actionable frameworks you can use this week — not someday. From marketing to leadership to mindset.
Live mentorship
Regular calls where we go deep on one topic that matters. Not here to fix anyone — just walking alongside and creating space for real growth.
Collaboration over comparison
No hierarchy. No scarcity. Just people in the same industry choosing to grow alongside each other instead of against each other.
