about us
what is the hair index?
The Hair Index is a groundbreaking platform designed to connect indie artists with the pro beauty industry, empowering educators to promote and sell their workshops while providing stylists with a centralized directory to discover and book learning experiences.
Rooted in LBG’s ethos of championing independent artistry, the Hair Index makes education the currency, driving visibility, connection, and success for all involved.
subscribethe vision
The Hair Index isn’t just a platform—it’s the heartbeat of a movement and the next step of our journey championing indie artists. For almost a decade, The Left Brain Group has amplified independent voices, building systems to support their growth and success. This isn’t just a business—it’s my purpose: to empower indie creators to thrive on their own terms.
Indie artists are proving that we don’t need big brands to define us; together, we are the brand. The Hair Index is the next evolution of this vision—a space where bold, innovative, and unapologetically authentic creators come together to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
