You’re busy…for a reason. We’re here to make it better.
If you’re fully booked, in demand, and proud of the clientele you’ve built—but craving more freedom, support, and sustainability—this page is for you.
We salon differently.
Pothos Hair & Co. is a commission salon — redefined. Unlike traditional commission salons with rigid, strict structures, we offer flexibility while still providing support. We’ve reimagined the commission model to give stylists the freedom to focus on beautiful work and steady growth behind the chair—without the overwhelm of running a business alone. We support stylists exactly where they’re at, whether you’re fully booked or continuing to grow.

Vision + Mission
At Pothos Hair & Co., we pride ourselves in creating a luxury yet approachable salon experience that sets the standard in Louisville; where guests feel confident, cared for, and genuinely at ease. We deliver lived-in hair services through continued education, thoughtful consultations, and intentional systems. Always prioritizing hair health, seamless grow-outs, and realistic maintenance for long-lasting results. At the same time, we empower our stylists through education, support, and intentional growth. This helps us build thriving careers rooted in gratitude professionalism, and longevity.
What We Believe In
At Pothos Hair & Co., we believe great salons are built with intention. Every system, standard, and decision we make is made in creating a better experience for both stylists and guests.
We exist because the traditional salon models didn’t fully support the kind of career we believe stylists deserve. A few things we advocate for:
Intentional Growth
Clear growth paths, realistic goals, and leadership support. No hustle culture or burnout.
Education That Supports You
Ongoing in-house education, career mentorship, and an annual $500 education fund to support your individual goals.
Work–Life Balance That’s Respected
Choose when you want to work, create healthy boundaries, enjoy paid time off, and systems built for sustainability.
The Right Clientele
Support in building and retaining your dream clients who value your expertise, consistency, and long-term care.
A Note From Our Founder
“I’ve worked inside each salon structure; traditional commission, booth rent, and a salon suite. Each model has strengths, and each comes with real challenges. Pothos Hair & Co. was created to take the best parts of all three and remove the pieces that lead to burnout, isolation, or unnecessary limitations. I wanted to build the kind of salon I wished existed earlier in my career.”
