Do I get anything in the mail?
No. This is a digital atlas: you get instant access to every cut, card, guide and printable the moment you pay. Nothing is shipped, so there's no waiting and no shipping cost.
Do I need a license to cut hair at home?
Yes. In the US you need a cosmetology license to cut hair for money, and many states also ask for a home salon permit. The Atlas is made for licensed stylists and cosmetology students, and the Home Chair Plan includes a checklist of what to ask your state board.
I already know how to cut. Why would I need this?
Because knowing a cut and remembering every detail with a client in the chair are two different things. Nobody keeps 71 cuts sharp in her head, least of all the ones she does once a month. Looking it up doesn't make you less of a pro. It keeps you from guessing.
Aren't there free tutorials online?
There are, and that's the problem. You can't scrub through a 20-minute video with wet hair in one hand and shears in the other. You need one page you can read in 5 seconds, with the sections, the guide and the elevation in front of you.
Are the cuts videos?
No. Every cut is a page with drawings, the sections, the elevation and short written steps, so you can keep it open on your phone or tablet, or print it for your station.
What can I actually earn?
It depends on your hours and your prices. If you keep about $62 a cut, 4 clients a week works out to about $730–1,590 a month. Trend cuts and bridal parties pay more. Results are not guaranteed and depend on your effort, prices, license and area.
$65 for a cut in someone's home? Who pays that?
Women who already pay that or more at a salon, and would rather have a stylist they know, more time and no rush. Home stylists in the US often charge from about $45 for a cut to $95 for a trend cut. She isn't paying for the room. She's paying for the cut.
What do I need to start?
The shears and combs you already own, a chair, a mirror, good light and a few capes and towels. The setup checklist in the Home Chair Plan tells you exactly what to have ready before your first client.
I haven't cut in a while.
That's exactly who the Atlas is for. Start with Module 1, go through the cuts you'll do most, and practice on family before your first paying client. Every page shows you the mistake to avoid.
Will clients take a home salon seriously?
Clients follow a stylist, not a building. A clean chair, a good mirror and a cut she loves are what bring her back, and she gets more of your time and attention than in a busy salon.
What if nobody books?
You start with people who already know you: old clients, friends, neighbors and your local Facebook group. Everyone needs a cut every 6 to 8 weeks. The plan gives you the exact texts to send, and your chair costs you nothing while it waits.
Where do the clients come from?
Word of mouth, old clients, school and church moms, your local Facebook group and Nextdoor. The Home Chair Starter Plan shows you where to start in the first 30 days.
I can't compete with the cheap chain salons.
You're not trying to. Nobody books a stylist at home to save five dollars. She comes for a cut she loves, more time with you and no rush. A chain can't do that. You can, and that's what people pay for.
I don't have time.
A women's cut takes about 45 to 60 minutes. Two clients on a Saturday morning or one after the kids are in bed. You decide how many you book.
Can I use it with my clients?
Yes. Show the face shape cards and the cut pages to your clients as much as you like. The pages themselves are for you: sharing or reselling them isn't allowed.
Is it safe to buy online?
Yes. Checkout is secure, everything arrives in your email the moment you pay, and you're covered for 7 days.
And if it's not for me?
Your purchase is covered for 7 days. Open the Atlas, use it at your chair, and if it isn't for you, send us one email and we'll refund you in full.
