Hunter Donia is the no-BS educator who teaches independent beauty pros how to grow and scale six-figure businesses on autopilot.
As a salon suite owner himself, he built his clientele to 3 months booked solid with 5 new client requests a week, which let him cut back to 3 days behind the chair while earning six figures.
He has spent the past 8 years mentoring more than 3,000 beauty pros worldwide, with recognition including Modern Salon’s Top 100, Beauty Launchpad’s 30 Under 30, and Face of Sola. Through The Modern Hairstylist Podcast and 25K+ followers across platforms, he shows suite renters, solo artists, and salon owners how to build a fully scaled, automated business behind the chair.
