I really appreciate the facts that are being given. New information to me!! I took in my special needs 4 grandkids 2(of my grandkids moms on deployment) so it’s 6, and have been raising them. Still trying to figure out how to be a success for me. You gave me hope that I can still be a great success and Yaya (grandma) for my babies. I need this so much!! Thanks for your knowledge, encouragement and energy!!!!

I absolutely loved the Zoom meeting! The energy was amazing, the information was clear and motivating, and the vision behind Sway is truly inspiring. Everything was explained thoroughly, from the opportunities available to the support offered to salon professionals made me feel confident and excited about what’s possible. The meeting was well-organized, engaging, and empowering. You can really tell that Sway is all about growth, community, and helping everyone succeed. I walked away informed, motivated, and ready for what’s next. Highly recommend attending if you’re serious about elevating your life in this business!

I don’t know about anybody else, but sis been popping up on my feed for at least a month now and I finally took it as a sign to pay attention.🤔
Usually when ads come up, I scroll right past them because you already know it’s a sales pitch 😂 but for some reason, every time her videos popped up, I actually stayed and watched the whole thing through.
As someone who’s neurodivergent, the way she teaches and explain thingsjust clicked for me. It didn’t feel overwhelming, forced, or rehearsed. You could genuinely feel the passion, excitement, and confidence behind what she was saying and that’s what pulled me in. Energy matters. Delivery matters. Authenticity matters.
And babyyy 😂 she had me LOCKED IN.
So thank you sis 🫶🏽 I’m genuinely excited to learn this industry because my mind already got a thousand ideas waiting to be executed.
All my neurodivergent creatives and thinkers… TAP IN. Seriously. LETS BUILD💪🏾

Last year I made the investment of $497 into The Salon Suite 5 Day Challenge. Sway is one of the few voices in this space teaching ownership the way it actually needs to be taught. Not just the logistics of running a suite, but ownership as a wealth vehicle, the operator-to-CEO mindset.
What I admire about her as a leader is that she’s lived everything she teaches. She got from behind the barber chair to ownership, franchising and mentorship— and she’s honest about every step. That’s the difference between real guidance and noise.
I’m in a season of rebuilding after my body shut down. I’ve been an LMT for 22 years and I desired to do this for at least 15 of those years. I have the vision. I have the prayer. I have the plan. I have developed an ecosystem built around the entire model. Created my nonprofit that will focused on providing the support I want to offer the industry. What I need now is the mentorship to put it into action— because faith without works is dead. The 5 Day Challenge is the work. It’s the structure, the accountability, and the directed guidance from someone who has already done what I’m called to do—- get beyond the table the way that she got beyond the chair.
Sway, thank you for raising the standard in this industry. Ready to do the work.

Honestly, as a go getter, I have in the past listened, attended and paid for products and advice that turned out to be either pyramid schemes or just basic information leading to paying for more and more. I am a firm believer in fate and God bringing people into our lives for a reason. After losing my job in September I have relied heavily on fate and intuition. I say this to say, coming across Sway was meant to be. I know this not only because of her successes but because this just feels right. A true mentor does not push or mislead, they guide and encourage and that is what I got today from Sway. I'm not big on social media and I know this will change but she just kept popping up and when my daughter called tonight and told me to log in, that was fate. I had no idea that I would leave the zoom with such a sense of urgency and confidence. Of course, I know I can do this, but leadership, resources and experience are key factors to starting any successful business. I feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to listen and I'm so looking forward to learning as I begin to put in the work that will lead to having a passive income and begin building generational wealth. I truly believe with the assistance of Sway, my hard work will pay off! Again, many thanks, totally worth the time and money. Looking forward to the 5 day challenge and building a successful business relationship. Daneen Williams

At 6:51 est I opened instagram and first person I saw was Sway. I clicked on her page and saw there was a live training at 7:00 est. I signed up immediately! I’m so thankful and grateful I did! I’ve been going back and forth for months watching different YouTube videos on salon suites not knowing which direction to go in. Sway is an absolute gem! After being in her training tonight, I truly trust her knowledge. I’m very confident that taking her class and following her blueprint will make me successful in the salon suite industry. I was already excited about this journey but after the training tonight and seeing her passion for this makes me even more excited!

What an amazing webinar it was incredibly informative and motivating. The presenter broke everything down that was easy to understand. I appreciated how honest and transparent she was about the challenges and opportunities in the industry. I left feeling inspired, confident, and much more prepared to take the next step toward owing my own salon suite. Highly recommended this webinar to anyone looking to become their own boss.

“Nothing changes, if nothing changes!” I genuinely do not know how Sway was able to fit all this knowledge into just an hour & a half. Not only was this information that you cannot find on chat gpt (may I add) but it was REAL, with testimonials to back it up. I left class ready for more, eager for more, HUNGRY for more. If you want different you have to move different! This class was a reminder of such!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Honestly, this webinar deserved 10 stars!)
I attended Sway’s FREE Salon Suite Workshop today, and I’m still amazed at how much value was packed into nearly almost 2 hours. I walked away feeling more confident, informed, and motivated than ever about starting and growing my family own salon suite business.
Sway was knowledgeable, professional, engaging, and incredibly transparent from beginning to end. She dropped so many gems and real-world strategies that I could barely keep up with my notes! Nothing felt rushed or watered down, every topic was explained thoroughly while still being easy to understand.
She covered everything from finding the right location, negotiating leases, marketing, salon suite buildout, startup expenses, and day-to-day operational costs. What I appreciated most was that she gave real-life advice and practical insight instead of generic information you can find anywhere online.
The fact that this was FREE honestly blew me away because the amount of game and knowledge shared felt like a paid masterclass. You can truly see the experience, passion, and dedication Sway poured into creating this webinar. She appears to be very authentic as well! And that’s very important!
If you’re serious about opening or growing a salon suite business, this workshop is absolutely a must-attend. Thank you, Sway 🙌🏽💯 You overdelivered in every way!

I walked into Sway’s free class not knowing what to expect, and I left feeling like someone finally pulled back the curtain. She didn’t have to give us what she gave us — but that’s just who Sway is. Even the free content was meat and potatoes — real, actionable, valuable. It wasn’t fluff to get you hyped and leave you empty. It was enough to make you realize the full course is an investment you can’t afford NOT to make. Sway is the real deal: knowledgeable, authentic, and genuinely rooting for every person in that room. In a world full of gurus who gatekeep, she’s the one who actually wants to see you WIN. If you’re a salon suite owner or aspiring to be, stop sleeping! Your next level is right here!

I joined the Salon Suite live webinar and enjoyed it. Sway's knowledge of the industry is amazing. And throughout I loved how she spoke positivity and strong affirmations. That shows character and that she cares and wishes the best for her mentees and future salon suite owners. It's great that she shares her hiccups so that we won't make the same mistakes. I recommend anyone looking to branch out into salon suites to taker her course and retain the knowledge she shares.
