From Chair to Boss

Learn the business, money, branding, and mindset skills beauty pros need to go independent and build a career that lasts.

Created by Mireya Villarreal, founder of Pink Pewter and From Chair to Boss, this program was built from real-world experience — from starting as a hairstylist in a 600-square-foot salon doing $12 haircuts to growing an international beauty brand. Every lesson is designed to help beauty pros avoid costly mistakes, understand the business side of the industry, and create a career with more confidence, freedom, and financial potential.

With the From Chair to Boss mobile app, you can learn anytime, anywhere. Access your courses, lessons, videos, worksheets, and community from one convenient place. Whether you are still in beauty school, working in a commission salon, preparing to go independent, or already building your own brand, this app gives you the tools to move forward with clarity.

Inside the app, you can learn about financial readiness, business basics, branding and marketing, clientele building, mindset, leadership, and the steps needed to transition from behind the chair to business ownership.

The From Chair to Boss course includes a structured roadmap for beauty professionals, with lessons focused on choosing the right career path, preparing financially, building a brand, attracting clients, setting goals, and developing the confidence to grow as an entrepreneur. The course overview describes it as a self-paced digital program with video lessons, worksheets, quizzes, templates, and a certificate of completion, built to bridge the gap between technical skill and entrepreneurial mastery.
