12.6K
An audience built from near zero
More than 12,000 new Instagram followers in roughly four months, over 10,000 in the last month alone, with a breakout educational Reel at 2.1M views. A brand people now follow to learn, not just a business that runs ads.
~8x
Advertising that pays for itself
Paid traffic returns up to about 8x on the first visit alone, before any repeat visits or lifetime value are counted.
100%
Every booking attributed
No guessing. In one week bookings broke down as profile bio 9, Rancho Santa Fe 6, manual 5, San Diego 3, referral 2, welcome DM 2, social 1, so we scale the winners and cut the rest.
Repeat
Retention engineered, not left to chance
Repeat visits already sit in a healthy range for the industry, and the loyalty, reminder and feedback systems are purpose-built to push that higher.

Representative week, June 30 to July 6, about a 9.7x return on ad spend
The important context: these returns run on a deliberately capped budget. The studio currently works with two part-time practitioners, so ad spend is matched to available capacity, not to demand. Growth here is limited by chairs, not by results. As the team expands with two more practitioners, budget and volume scale with it, and the same machine simply runs larger.
