When it comes to building your salon or spa business...
…you deserve to create a world where you can run the business of your dreams while still having time to see the girls for drinks after work.
I’m Melissa Joy Olson and I help women support, love, and care for themselves as they make the transition to business owners.
Don’t let chronic burnout stop you from becoming queen of your
The beauty and wellness industry prides itself on hustling through long workdays, clashing creative egos, and always putting your clients before yourself. As a stylist, esthetician, or massage therapist, you’re probably more than used to working 60 hours a week while you barely see your family.
If you’ve made the transition to salon or spa owner that pressure to succeed can squeeze even tighter.
Making the shift from your creative comfort zone to a world filled with tax forms, hiring, planning sales events, and crunching numbers might not be the vision of business ownership you had in your head.
Burnout is real, but it doesn't have to consume your life.
Whether you're a
New manager who’s feeling isolated from her coworkers

So you decided to take the leap from creative to owner of your own salon or spa — and it’s not everything you’ve been dreaming of.
There are some things that seem universally difficult about business ownership.
We’re talking isolation, unforgiving hours, teaching yourself how to do everything from taxes to training new staff to writing a business plan.
But the beauty and wellness industry is its own beast:
My name is Melissa Joy Olson and I have this radical idea
that you shouldn’t have to absolutely burn yourself out to be successful as a salon owner.
I’m the founder and CEO at Euphoria Studio in Frenchtown, NJ, and have been working with dazzling women in the beauty & wellness industry for the past 25 years. I learned the value of self-care by watching the small personal rituals of my grandmother, and now I work to help women take time for themselves as they build their own salon and spa businesses.
I’ve been through the 60+ hour work weeks, and I’ve felt the pressure of always having to be the one with all the answers — I’m the owner after all.
But it was through these challenges that I re-evaluated my priorities, doubled down on building a team that would support each other through rough times, and ended up with exactly the life I asked for.
Now, I help fellow salon and spa-preneurs build sustainability in their businesses through self-love.
