 -----THE BLUE LEAF GUIDE STORY----

Blue Leaf Guide began as a book—born from real conversations with cosmetology and barber students.

While traveling to schools as a guest artist, I kept hearing the same concerns from future professionals. They were mastering the technical skills, but they didn’t feel prepared for the business side of the industry. Questions about building clientele, branding, choosing the right salon, and long-term career direction came up again and again.

So I listened.

I took notes. I gathered their questions, challenges, and goals—and turned that real-world insight into a book designed to bridge the gap between the student and the licensed professional.

Shortly after the world shut down due to COVID, my journey took an unexpected turn—I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Promotion paused, momentum stopped, and for a moment, I questioned whether the book would ever truly reach the people it was created for.

Then I had a realization: this couldn’t live only on paper.

I transformed the book into a digital PDF and took my first booth at AACS. The response was powerful—but I still felt something was missing. I wanted more security, more interaction, and more long-term impact for students.

That’s when I decided to turn Blue Leaf Guide into an app.

When I discovered how expensive app development was, I chose a different path—I went back to school and learned IT myself. I balanced school, motherhood, marriage, salon ownership, and life, committing fully to the process for an entire year. Eventually, I partnered with a local IT company to help bring the vision across the finish line.

Today, Blue Leaf Guide is the first career-focused cosmetology and barbering app built specifically to bridge the gap between the student and the licensed professional.

Blue Leaf Guide is where beauty meets technology—and where students become professionals with purpose.
