The Success Start up
Success Start Up gives you instant access to the education every hairstylist needs to grow behind the chair and build a thriving business.
Inside, you'll learn real techniques, real strategies, and real business systems through an ever-growing library of hair transformations, marketing, social media, pricing, consultations, and business education.
But here's what makes us different...
We don't teach on models.
Every transformation is performed on real clients with real hair, real challenges, and real expectations, so you can learn exactly how to navigate the situations you'll actually face behind the chair. No perfectly prepped mannequins. No unrealistic color canvases. Just honest education that prepares you for the real world.

The Success Start up has completely changed my business behind the chair and opened me up to new opportunities. Posting online isn't as hard. Getting new clients isn't as hard. Everything just feels so much easier.

Being apart of an online program like this has made success feel really attainable, and not so out of reach. I really recommend the Success Start Up to start to get you in that headspace that success is on the horizon.

The Success Start up has been such an incredible platform for me a a student. I feel so much more confident taking clients now because of it. And i'm getting more clients because of it!
The Success Society
Success doesn't come from one class. It comes from consistently learning, adapting, and showing up.
Success Society is designed for hairstylists who want to continue growing month after month. You'll receive everything included in Success Start Up, plus access to an exclusive live virtual class every month taught by Lisa G, guest educators, or members of the Straight Out of Cosmo ambassador team.
Each class is built around the conversations that matter most, from advanced hair transformations and color corrections to social media, marketing, pricing, consultations, and building a profitable business behind the chair.

Hi hello - it's Lisa G.
I've been behind the chair for over 15 years, built a six figure business, worked Fashion Week in New York and Paris, partnered with some of the biggest brands in our industry, and built a community of stylists who refuse to settle for "good enough."
But none of that happened because I had it all figured out.
It happened because people took a chance on me. They shared what they knew. They opened doors. They taught me the things cosmetology school never did.
That's exactly why I created Straight Out of Cosmo.
This isn't education built on mannequins or perfect textbook situations. Every class, every breakdown, and every lesson comes from real clients, real challenges, real businesses, and real experience behind the chair.
Whether you're trying to master color corrections, build a clientele, create content that actually brings in clients, or finally understand the business side of this industry, you're in the right place.
No gatekeeping. No fluff. No pretending this career is easy.
Just honest education from someone who's lived every part of it.
If you're ready to grow your skills, build a business you're proud of, and create a career on your own terms...
Welcome to Straight Out of Cosmo.
ACCESS OUR FREE COMMUNITY!
The best parts of this industry were never learned in cosmetology school.
They were learned behind the chair. From mentors who shared their knowledge, coworkers who answered questions without judgment, and stylists who believed there was enough success for everyone.
That's exactly what The Open Chair is.
A free community where hairstylists come together to ask questions, share ideas, celebrate wins, solve problems, and help each other grow.
No gatekeeping. No fluff. No pretending we're competitors.
Just a chair that's always open.
