Sway The Pro
I have over a decade of experience & knowledge about starting and operating a salon suite business.
Fresh off vacation, I went straight to surprise my student with her very own billboard!! 😳🔥 But… things didn’t exactly go as planned. 😩🤯
The original idea was to do a quick interview in front of the billboard and point up at it when it appeared. After 30 minutes of interviewing her, stalling, asking a ton of random a*z questions, 😂 and both of us sweating bullets, the billboard never showed up. 😩 I was crushed! I had the whole thing perfectly mapped out. So I finally had to break the news to her and explain the surprise. I guess there was some sort of technical glitch. 🥴
Thankfully, there was a second billboard just 6 minutes away, and it was up and running! So after we toured her beautiful salon suite, we drove over to the second location. Although it was no longer a surprise, she loved it. 🙏🏽😊🔥
I wanted to celebrate her because she truly deserves it. From her branding and marketing to the actual salon buildout, she put in that work! And you can tell. 💪🏽 Everything is polished and professional! She’s officially open and already at 70% capacity! 🚀 (Stay tuned for the tour video!)
This is what happens when you take marketing seriously and go all in. Congrats to my student Kay, owner of ! So proud of you! 👏🏽✨ Let’s go!!🔥🔥
I may ruffle some feathers with this one, but making $1 million isn’t always as much money as people THINK it is. 💰
People hear “I made a million dollars” and think you have a million dollars sitting in the bank ready to spend.
Nah.
There are taxes. Business expenses. Payroll. Investments. Life. And if you want to KEEP building wealth, you have to keep making smart decisions with that money.
Making the million is one thing.
Learning how to KEEP it, GROW it, and turn it into long-term wealth is a completely different game. 💯🔥
Take me BACK! We really had a TIME! ❤️🔥
One of my favorite parts is getting to hear everybody’s story, see where they are in their journey, and remind them to KEEP GOING.
Some are just getting started. Some are building. Some are almost there.
But I’m trying to see ALL of y’all cut that red ribbon! ✂️
And you already know… ain’t no party like a Sway party! 🥳🔥

Okayyyy Stephanie!! 👏🏽🔥
My mentee has secured over $228,000 in business funding THIS YEAR! 💰
She secured $110K in her first round, used the capital responsibly, strengthened her profile, and came back for round two and secured another $118K.
That’s $228K+ to help bring her salon suite plans to life. 🏢
THIS is why I teach my students about funding and using OPM instead of trying to pay for everything out of pocket.
Super proud of you Stephanie! Keep going! ❤️🔥

When it comes to scaling your salon suite, you have to think OUTSIDE the box when it comes to who you rent to. 💯
It doesn’t always have to be hairstylists and barbers.
There are so many different professionals who could potentially operate out of your suites.
The more you expand your thinking, the more opportunities you have to keep those suites FULL. 🔥
Just make sure whoever you rent to fits your space and local requirements.
Stop guessing what your business needs. The DATA will tell you. 📊💯
When we run challenges, launch offers, or market to our audience, we pay attention to the information.
Who are the leads?
How old are they?
Where are they from?
What are they responding to?
Your data is literally telling you what to do next.
You just have to pay attention to it. 🔥
Homecoming Queen in High School! Clock it! 👌🏽😂
Yup I have a Master’s Degree. 🙌🏽🙏🏽 I actually applied to get a Doctorate degree then I realized I was only doing it to look cool and to say I did it.🙄😂 All the wrong reasons! I said nahh let me get out here in the real world and make something shake!
🎤 I used to be in a rap group with my identical twin called Twinn City. We opened for Lil Wayne, Jeezy, Rick Ross and more. We still have music up on streaming platforms.
🎬I used to be an actor. I actually wanna get back into it one day. I was in a few YouTube series back in the day. Check out: Sunny Reign and Girls Just Don’t Do That
In 2007 after saving up for a year I moved my entire family of 6 from Michigan to Atlanta. I drove the biggest U-Haul they have and I crashed into the side a building. 😫 Somehow I was never charged for the damage. 🥴Nonetheless, n*gga we made it! 😂It’s been up ever since!

Big shoutout to my mentee Des Morgan!! 🤎👏🏽
Luxe Beauty Suites went from an IDEA to an actual BUILDOUT! 🏗️🔥
She secured her location, construction is underway, and she’s already pre-leasing her suites.
This is the part I love seeing. You come into the mentorship with an idea, put in the work, follow the blueprint, and slowly watch everything start coming together.
So proud of you Des! Keep going, that red ribbon is getting closer! 🎀✂️
I’m at that stage in life where I’m too young to be rushing things, but too old to be wasting time. 💯
I’m not forcing anything, but I’m definitely not playing around either.
I’m moving with intention, protecting my time, and being way more careful about what deserves my energy.
No rush. No wasted time. Just purpose. ❤️🔥
I LOVE celebrating every win, every milestone, and every bit of progress my mentees make. ❤️👏🏽
But I also remind them all the time: RUN YOUR OWN RACE.
Somebody else getting their keys, starting their buildout, or cutting their red ribbon doesn’t mean you’re behind.
Focus on YOUR journey and do what makes sense for YOU. 💯
We’re all going to get to the finish line. We just won’t all get there at the same time. 🏁❤️
