The Business Bootcamp for Hair and Beauty Pros
Build a business that gets found, trusted, and booked.
A results-focused programme designed by an award-winning salon owner and educator to help you grow with purpose, clarity, and confidence.
Why I Created This Bootcamp
Everywhere you look, someone’s selling a PDF or a training funnel promising overnight success.
And on the flip side? You’ve got people gaslighting others for not already knowing how to do it all.
But the truth is most of us didn’t set out to be business owners.
We were passionate about our craft, and somewhere along the way we became marketers, bookkeepers, social media managers, and therapists too.
That was fine… for a while. But times have changed.
Over 2,000 salons closed in the UK in the last 12 months — and it’s not because they weren’t talented.
It’s because running a successful business now means juggling dozens of moving parts and that gets overwhelming fast.
This Bootcamp is for the ones trying to do it all, quietly burning out in the background.
It’s here to give you structure, focus, and real tools not judgment.
You don’t need a funnel.
You need a plan.
About me
Helen Ward
I’ve been in the hair and beauty industry for over 28 years.
I’ve owned a successful salon for 14 of those, picked up over 30 industry awards, and built two platforms that now rank at the top of Google.
I’ve taught in classrooms, judged national awards, mentored professionals, and seen every side of this industry the inspiring and the frustrating.
But most importantly, I’ve been where you are.
Trying to juggle treatments, manage a team, post on socials, keep clients happy, and still somehow find the time to move things forward.
Last year, I hit a difficult patch and it made me realise, more than ever, how crucial it is to truly know your numbers, your goals, and where your time is going.
Because when things get tough, guesswork won’t save you data and clarity will.
That’s why I created this Bootcamp.
Not to overwhelm you with trends or theories, but to give you real, focused support to move forward with confidence.
What You’ll Learn in This Bootcamp
Running a beauty business today takes more than just delivering great treatments. You need to lead, plan, market, price, protect, and perform often all at once.
But most professionals were never taught how to do that part.
This Bootcamp is your chance to stop winging it and start leading with purpose. It’s a reset built for professionals who want to create real change in their business, with practical support and clear direction.
You’ll learn how to:
• Understand your business beyond the treatments
• Identify your ideal client and what they truly value
• Set clear objectives so your energy has direction
• Build a brand and message that feels aligned
• Set confident, sustainable pricing based on facts not fear
• Use simple systems to get organised and protect your time
• Understand how SEO and keywords affect how people find you
• Improve your visibility on Google without needing to go viral
• Keep your team motivated, supported, and performing well
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start building something stronger this is your starting point.
