SOUND FAMILIAR?

Running a beauty school is a thousand small fires.

Hours are your inventory.

When the state changes hour requirements, your curriculum has to change overnight. Your spreadsheets don't.

Late payments eat your week.

Your students pay in installments. Half have no Pell, no co-signer. Friday is collection day, every week, forever.

Inquiries go cold by Monday.

You're on the floor with students. Three inquiries came in Saturday. By Monday, they enrolled somewhere else.

Lumion replaces all of it.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Five things beauty schools ask before they book.

How long does setup take?

Most schools are live in 14 days. Setup takes your team about 2 hours total. You get a dedicated specialist, not a chatbot.

Will my front desk actually use this?

Your team gets a 30-minute onboarding and a named specialist for the first 90 days. Most front-desk staff run Lumion themselves within their first week.

How will I know if it's working?

See which channels fill your cohorts and which waste budget. On your phone, in real time. Your enrollment dashboard runs alongside your existing reporting.

What if my state changes the hour requirement?

Lumion's hour-tracking adjusts on the fly. When California dropped cosmetology from 1,600 to 1,000 hours, our customers' clock-hour reporting updated by program. No curriculum rebuild, no audit risk. Same when state boards add esthetics-specific hour caps or barbering changes the floor.

What if it doesn't work for us?

No long contract to get started. Most schools start with one module (Engagement or Payments) and add the rest as they grow. The All-In bundle is optional.
