What’s Coming Next for Stylists
The Integrated Stylist
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
After years behind the chair, owning a salon, and mentoring stylists into independence, I’ve learned that growth rarely comes from doing more. It comes from noticing the patter, choosing the right next move, and staying with it long enough for it to work.
Build your independent business without trying to build everything at once.
The Integrated Stylist is a 90-Day Operating System for hairstylists who are ready to stop guessing what to fix, what to focus on, and what actually moves their business forward.
It gives you a clear place to begin, a plan for the next 90 days, and the tools to make decisions with more confidence.
Founding preorder: $67
Delivered November 2026. Future price: $127.
SSA is designed to give you clarity in the moment.
If you want to spend more time on a specific area…whether that’s your pricing, client experience, or marketing, our upcoming courses go further.

The modern shag is one of the most requested haircuts in salons today, but creating a shag that feels soft, balanced, and modern requires intention.
In this digital class, Katee Elives demonstrates her razor cutting approach for building effortless shag shapes that move beautifully and maintain their structure as they grow out.
Through thoughtful sectioning, controlled weight removal, and precise razor techniques, Katee walks you step-by-step through how she creates layered, lived-in haircuts that feel current, customizable, and wearable for real clients.
