What's broken right now

  • Instagram works but takes hours nobody has
  • New clients book once + never return, no nurture sequence
  • Walk-by is dying; you need a digital catchment

What you get instead

  • Instagram + TikTok shipping every week, built from your stylists' real work
  • One-time bookings turning into three-visit regulars on a post-visit sequence
  • Local search recognising your salon for postcode-specific queries

What month one looks like

Two concrete deliverables from your first 30 days, so you know exactly what shows up Monday morning.

Example deliverable #1

8 platform-native Instagram posts + 4 TikTok shorts per month from a single salon visit

Example deliverable #2

Frequently asked, for hair salons

The questions hair salons ask before signing. If yours isn't here, ask us on the contact form, we'll add it.

How do you handle the salon owner vs stylist personal brand split?

We brief both. The salon owns the brand voice + the salon-level content; each stylist gets a personal-brand cadence on their own handles. We coordinate so the two don't compete and both feed bookings to the salon's calendar.

What does the engagement actually cost for hair salons?

We recommend starting at Thrive (£1,500/month) for hair salons, salons live or die by visual content, Thrive (3 channels + calendar) lets us run social + video + email together with a published 90-day plan.. Upgrade or downgrade any month; no annual contracts.

Can I cancel if it's not working?

Yes, 30 days notice, cancel anytime. The Brilliant AI workspace at the matched tier (Starter) stays live for 30 days post-cancellation, then drops to Free. No clawback, no exit fee.

Why not just hire a freelancer for social media?

For one channel at low volume, a freelancer is fine. We come in when you want multiple channels coordinated, a freelancer doesn't talk to your other freelancers, and you end up project-managing all of them. We coordinate so you get one report, not five.

Will I see results in month one for hair salons?

Depends on the channel. Paid ads show signal in week 2. SEO content compounds over 8-12 weeks (Google has to index + rank). Social cadence shows engagement signal in month 1 but conversion takes longer. We tell you what to expect per channel; we don't promise a number we can't back up.

Do you actually do the creative or just brief it?

We actually do it. Our owner-led craft team art-directs every creative deliverable in-house, working in Photoshop, Canva, After Effects, Premier Pro, and Blender. Freelancers handle ad-set management + outreach + ops; craft stays in-house.

Ready to talk?
