Mental & Emotional Wellness are key for our future and for the next generation when it comes to picking the schools & salon/spa they will go to. Be some of the first to bring a wellness program into your school OR salon/spa culture. Be a part of the new wave of leaders that is bridging the gap between the human and the craft. Be a brand that stands for the success and wellbeing of the beauty/wellness professional.
When creating The Vitality Project we knew we had to address this problem of mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health in our industry in a way that would be heart, head and hands on.
In order to do this in a way that will change the entire industry we had to make this product support our teachers as much as it supports our students. We know having this in schools is where we can create real change for the future of our industry.
We also know that we want our students to have like minded salons to go work at & that burnout is an issue that is riddling our industry & leading to careers that aren’t sustainable. It doesn’t have to be this way! With the right tools- this is one of the most abundant career paths.
We have an entire community of heart centered beauty leaders & salon/spa owners - so we knew we had to create this product to support not just our stylists, barbers, estheticians and nail technicians but the owners leading these teams. Nowadays having a wellness program is becoming the new status quo- this is a tool that will allow all salons/spa to offer this to their teams & employees.

why does
wellness matter?
“Wellness is an important aspect of every bit of our decision making. Within out industry, within our personal lives, and even our decision making practices. Perusing a healthy mental space is the key to clarity for everything we involve ourselves in."
"Unfortunately it’s not as important as it should be, burn out is real. If we learned early on how to take care of our selves we’d be better off and have longer careers in the hair world. What Vitality Project is doing is crucial for our industry."
“Wellness is more than important-
IT IS NECESSARY! "

SPA & SALON FAQ's
what does the vitality project cost?
Pricing is a simple yearly flat fee based on your team size and costs about as much as a monthly cup of coffee per team member.
what is the time commitment for the vitality project?
The Vitality Project is built to be easy to use and plug into business procedures already happening, making wellness a seamless part of what you’re already doing! During the onboarding process we recommend 30 minutes to an hour per week to get The Vitality Project rolling in your salon or spa. After onboarding everything we do is integrated into day-to-day processes you’re already doing so very little additional time is required. Plan on setting aside MAX 30-60 minutes a month to add the program into your workflow & culture.
how do I get my team onboard?
The Vitality Project does this amazingly for you. Once you sign up we onboard you as the owner first which takes about 30 minutes for 3-4 weeks. During this time we have a fun way to engage with your team about the amazing gift of Vitality they are about to receive. Included as part of the onboarding program are teaser posters you can hang up around your space with QR codes that will take your team to a congratulations page where they will learn about the program, the exiting life changing perks and will guide them through the initial steps getting them all set up and ready to begin!
what does the onboarding process look like for the team?
The onboarding phase of the program takes roughly 90 days to complete, we call this the 90 Days To Success. This takes between 15 minutes to 1 hour per week depending on your business model. After this initial 90 Days To Success the program flows seamlessly into your normal day-to-day procedures as you join in with the global community of The Vitality Project integrating the tools and concepts into your salon/spa culture.
Have a new hire come on board? No worries we’ve got you covered. As new team members join simply use the included New Hire Guide to walk them through their customized 90 Days To Success plan bringing them up to speed and giving them the amazing tools of Vitality. Then they’ll join right in with your team. When we say easy to use we really mean it!
BEAUTY SCHOOL FAQ's
how flexible is the program?
The program is designed to be EASY to use, EFFICIENT for training/onboarding teachers & EFFECTIVE in getting positive results for your entire organization. We created this to plug right into your learning pathway with ease and flexibility. This can be taught live in the classroom, is efficient for distant learners and blends perfect for hybrid learning. We have a curated learning path we highly recommend but even that is very flexible and everything will make sense even if done in a different order. We do have recommendations for best results and many ideas of how to implement this to match your current teaching pathways and are here to advise you for the best results.
how many student lessons are there & what support comes with the program ?
The program is designed to be EASY to use, EFFICIENT for training/onboarding teachers & EFFECTIVE in getting positive results for your entire organization. We created this to plug right into your learning pathway with ease and flexibility. This can be taught live in the classroom, is efficient for distant learners and blends perfect for hybrid learning. We have a curated learning path we highly recommend but even that is very flexible and everything will make sense even if done in a different order. We do have recommendations for best results and many ideas of how to implement this to match your current teaching pathways and are here to advise you for the best results.
how long do lessons take to teach?
If taught LIVE each lesson takes about 1 hour [give or take 10-15 minutes depending on the lesson] and that includes ALL actives and time for shares. If taught digitally takes about half that amount of time & you can choose a hybrid approach, so assume 30-45 minutes will be plenty.
where do you recommend placing the lessons in our curriculum?
There are multiple ways to do this successfully so know that there is flexibility. With that said some good recommendations for best results are teaching this within the first 4-6 months of school. This could be done as quickly as 7-8 weeks.
The Vitality Project is commonly being integrated into your phase one or two. Recommended best practices are to do 1-2 classes per week. We don’t recommend more than 3 Vitality lessons in 1 week or spacing them out more than 3 weeks apart.
We do have a recommended order in which to teach lessons for best results. However, if you choose to break it up or go in a different order it will still work just fine. Because each lesson was built to be flexible and will stand on its own, you may choose to break it up or come up with a hybrid format that works best for your specific situation. We are happy to advise on best practices.
what kind of support do you offer teachers?
A unique feature of The Vitality Project is our teacher tools. These are created for the entirity of your oraganization but geared towards the wellness & vitality of your teachers, leadership and their facilitation. We know self care and mental/emotional wellness support for them is just as crucial as supporting our students. These 3 lessons are my signature corpoarte wellness trainings.
These are offered to your teachers at NO additional cost and are recommended to have them review yearly. These can be used via distance learning, as a teacher training session and all doing this LIVE or as a hybrid of both. There is a proper lesson plan and activities associated with each of these trainings that will work taught in person or digitally. These are recommended to have your teachers watch within 6 months of onboarding the Vitality Project, and no less than within the 1st year. These do not have to be watched to start with your students. These teacher tools serve as an ADDITIONAL resource to offer wellness and support. Please utilize this tool for maximum results.
how does training/onboarding teachers work?
We pride ourselves in being efficient and easy to use! We built this tool in the same way we run our organization. Utilizing tech, video and automating systems. We wanted to create a digital onboarding experience that your entire team can be guided through digitally and when you hire NEW staff they can go through this system on their own.
You will be taken through a video series that takes no more than 1.5 hours, this will train your teachers and staff on how to best use these tools and how to understand and teach the lessons. There is also a PDF with a “Look At A Glance Chart” and other resources that walk your staff through the tool. This will be important to have your teachers go through before teaching.
