The Challenge

HumaniQ is a European-inspired luxury hair salon with a loyal Silicon Valley clientele and talented stylists — but almost no digital presence to show for it. No social media, no online booking, no stylist portfolios. For new clients trying to decide where to trust their hair, there was nothing to find.

What I Did

I marketed the brand essence. I launched their Facebook and Instagram presence, connected them with local businesses and clients, and developed monthly content calendars to keep things consistent.

The move I'm most proud of: I trained the stylists themselves to create content. Rather than depending on a marketing manager indefinitely, I built a system where the people doing the work every day could document it — creating a sustainable content engine that kept running long after my engagement.

One giveaway campaign alone generated 15 transformation photos for ongoing marketing use.

The Results

  • 40% email list growth within 3 months

  • 15% ad click-through rate — well above industry average

  • Online booking system implemented and active

  • 15 transformation photos generated from a single campaign

  • Full social media presence built from zero

  • Sustainable content system created through stylist training
