During the early stages of running Be Inspired Salon, our founder, Kati Whitledge, discovered a pain point many industry professionals face — failing to know if their marketing efforts are truly working. Create a resource that empowers business owners to better themselves, their team, and their clients. That solution originally became Meet Your Stylist, a fun, easy, and accurate match-making techn

Let’s talk about the dreaded “I quit” text. 🫠 If you’re a salon owner or manager, you know that immediate pit in your stomach isn’t just about losing a team member… it’s about what happens to their guests.
Will they leave? How do we break the news? Who is the best fit for them now?
That’s why we created the mya Rematch feature. Instead of scrambling to figure out where to place a departing pro’s clients, Rematch makes it seamless. It helps you thoughtfully pair those guests with a new provider on your team who matches their exact needs, personality, and visit goals.
No more panic. No more lost clients. Just a smooth transition that keeps guests loyal to your brand and builds instant trust with their new provider. 🤝
Take the panic out of the pivot! Head to your mya dashboard to check out Rematch. 🫶👭

Right now, someone is googling “hair salons near me” and your name is in that list. 👀 They’ll click through a few sites, including yours, and decide in seconds who feels right. And if nothing grabs them? They bounce back to google and keep looking.
You’ll never know they were there.
That’s the part most salon owners never see. mya changes it: it greets every visitor, gets to know them, captures their info, and pairs them with the right pro on your team, so a stranger who found you turns into a client who booked you.
Stop letting them slip back into the search results. 🔗 joinmya.com
Let’s talk about something that is quietly making or breaking your client retention: confirmation bias.
Think about it like a dating app—which is exactly why we built mya! When a client is paired with their perfect provider through our Matchmaker, they walk through your doors already believing it’s the right fit. They are totally bought in before they even sit in the chair.
But here’s where you have to pay close attention. What happens when that highly anticipated new client walks in, and their first impression is lacking? Their brain immediately shifts. That initial trust is completely broken, and suddenly, they’re scanning your salon for every single little flaw just to confirm their new negative bias.
This is why your standards are absolutely everything. They have to be elevated, and they have to be maintained. Holding your team accountable to those standards is non-negotiable. And we get it—having these tough HR conversations is incredibly hard because nobody likes hurting feelings. But avoiding them is toxic to your business. In our industry, managing these standards and constantly elevating your people isn’t just part of the job… it IS the job.

We love these humans and can’t wait to continue to grow alongside them.💜
We are doing a literal happy dance for our amazing partners .salon! 💃✨
Over the last two years, they’ve welcomed 1,386 brand new clients through their doors. Let’s do a little salon math, shall we? If each of those gorgeous guests dropped an average of $125 on their first visit, that’s over $173,000 in fresh revenue. And the craziest part? That’s only counting their very first appointment! We all know the real magic (and money) happens when they rebook! 🤯
We couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of their growth story. Seeing our partners thrive is our absolute favorite thing. ♥️
