Where does the program take place?

Everything is online — no travel required. You have a full year of access to the training, so you can go through the materials each week as they’re released during our inital 8-weeks together, or slow things down and work at your own pace throughout the year.

When’s the next session of SmartBeauty?

SmartBeauty Pros will open for Spring enrollment April 15th-29th, the 8 week session runs May 4th- June 27th 2020. You can stay up to date and gain VIP access to registration by hopping on the waitlist.

How long will I have access to all of the content and resources?

Our 6 program modules unlock week by week. Once the 8 week session has concluded, you have access to the modules for 365 days, a whole year! During the year, we encourage you to take advantage of our 4 alumni video calls and the alumni only facebook group which you have lifetime access to. If you are on our payment plan option, missed payments will result in removal from the program and its pertaining groups.

Why don’t I have lifetime access to the course material?

Statistics show that programs that allow lifetime access end up having less engagement and overall impact on members. Why? The students are more likely to put things off if they literally have forever to go back to it. To ensure the success of your business, we challenge you to take our program, go all in for a year by implementing our tools and give yourself the gift of financial freedom once you begin to reap the lifetime benefits of your investment and new found knowledge. Our program includes 6 private calls with our team. We are here for you over the course of the year to be your thought partners and help ideate and implement. We want to see you win!

How much time do I need to commit to the program?

If you plan to work through the live program in real time, we recommend between 4-6 hours per week to watch the training, complete your assignments and engage with our mentors and the community. Many of our students go through the program as best they can; pausing and returning to it as their schedule allows over the course of the membership year. This experience is designed to stretch you, but it can also be customized to your life. The more focus and dedication you put inl, the more you’ll get out. To be clear, there are no fast or guaranteed results. Building a business that matters is not an 8 week event. This program mirrors the reality of entrepreneurship — it’s intense, time consuming, demanding and something you’ll work on for the life of your business.

What will I learn?

We outline the course breakdown, including our core curriculum and additional masterclasses included on our homepage. All the information you could ever need to start and grow a beauty business is available for free online, right now. BUT - if you're not aware of what you need to know and apply to your business — and what you don’t — all the free information in the world won’t help. SBP is an experience. It’s action-oriented and intense. It’s about doing the work and getting challenged to grow into your full potential.

Who’s right for SmartBeauty?

SmartBeauty Pros is ideal for service-based beauty professionals with 0-4 years of experience in the industry. Our members are: Hairstylists, Barbers, Nail Technicians, Estheticians, Massage Therapists, Brow Sculpting Artists, Tanning Salon Owners and Body Waxing Specialists. We offer full 360 business education to beauty professionals seeking marketing know how.

Who’s not right for this program?

It’s not right if you’re looking for a one-on-one business coach outside of the SIX calls we already include during monthly Office Hours in your 12-month enrollment. Although the “Office Hours” calls are indeed private and one to one, the overall program is not individual. If that’s something you prefer you can explore private coaching with our founder HERE. Our program isn’t right for those looking for help with tax structures, raising VC funding, manufacturing or distribution. We focus on working with service based beauty professionals, we are not experts in e-commerce or manufacturing/distribution. Our program isn’t right if you’re looking to market to fellow students. SmartBeauty Pros is a pitch-free environment. It’s also not right if you consider yourself an advanced marketer. SBP is for action-takers who understand that real change happens with consistent effort over time. This isn’t a “get rich quick” program. It’s a “get great over a period of time now that you have the right tools” program.

Is SmartBeauty just for women?

No. While the majority of our students are women, we have a growing audience of male Beauty Pros. The content is not gender-specific and everyone is welcome.

Will SmartBeauty work for me if I don’t have a business yet?

The SmartBeauty Pros training is ideal if you’re just starting out because it’ll train you to think like an entrepreneur and avoid the costly mistakes even smart entrepreneurs make when launching their first business. SmartBeauty walks you through exactly what you need to understand, know and — most importantly — do in order to set yourself up for success.

I’m in beauty - but I’m a wax technician, will this work for me?

We’re proud to have members across all areas of service-based beauty offerings such as hairstylists, nail technicians, PMU artists, estheticians, wax technicians and massage therapists — the range of rich and diverse creatives we have in SmartBeauty is one of our distinct advantages. No matter what service you offer, you must understand how to effectively share your message, attract and convert browsers into buyers and create outstanding customer experiences. Today’s economy demands that you learn how to build trust and create meaningful connections with other humans using the digital tools of entrepreneurship. So if you serve humans, SmartBeauty can help.

Will this work for me if I live outside of the U.S.?

Definitely. The principles you’ll learn are universal. More importantly — the skills, habits and confidence you’ll develop from this experience are transformative, transferrable and will benefit you for a lifetime.

Do I need to be tech savvy to join?

Basic understanding and a hunger to learn, all you need.

Can my assistant and I take the SmartBeauty program together?

SBP is a single membership program. Meaning, one person per membership. If you’d like to do the program along with your assistant or partner, please enroll separately.

How is SmartBeauty different from free online resources?

There’s more free information available to more people on every imaginable subject, including business, than ever before in human history. But if you’re not aware of what you need to know and what you don’t, all the free information in the world won’t help. It’s not about access to a set of hidden videos or secret formulas. This program is tailored to the business needs of beauty professionals and lays ONLY the pertinent components on a silver platter. Enrolling into our SmartBeauty program means putting yourself in an environment tailor made for you and your services. We explain our program as a hybrid between having a private coach and a group coaching program. We offer an elevated high-touch experience through all of our support touch-points.

How do you support students as they work through the training?

Dynamic support is the backbone of SmartBeauty. Once you join the program, you’ll have guidance and support from a team in a safe and encouraging environment. Here’s what each member has access to:
Lesson Comments

• Underneath each training, you’re invited to comment, post your questions and get the help you need. Often within minutes or hours (business hours) , you’ll have a response from our professional team of Mentors, your fellow students, our SB Team and Yliana during the 8 weeks of the live program. During the off season, when we are not in session, comments are replied to on a weekly basis.

Will I speak with or get feedback directly from Yliana?

This is a group learning experience so getting guidance and support is never more than a few minutes away. You’ll have a team of professional Expert Mentors, outstanding support from our Beauty Pro Advisors and our community by your side. The program is designed by Yliana and she leads our LIVE Group Coaching as well as the Office Hours, where you’re able to speak with her directly or one of our team members for 30 minutes during our two implementation weeks per session. While she is active in the Member Area, we can’t guarantee individual feedback from her if you’re unable to secure a call slot as soon as the Office Hours calendar opens up.
