Iconic Coaching is a business coaching and mentoring company for salon, clinic, and barbering owners across Australia and internationally. Founded by Cait Muir in 2017, we help hair and beauty business owners stop overworking, fix their pricing, sort their systems, and build businesses that pay them properly. We offer 1:1 coaching memberships, programs for solo operators, online short courses, in-salon education days, and live events.
Cait is the founder and lead coach at Iconic Coaching. She bought her first salon at 19, scaled it to $3.9 million in revenue while completely off the floor, and went on to buy, sell, and scale four businesses across the hair and beauty industry over 16 years. She's a keynote speaker at the Hair Festival, a judge for the Australian Hairdressing Industry Awards, the 2024 NAF Awards Coach of the Year, and the host of the “Tell Me About It” podcast, which ranks in the top 40 in Australia.
Cait is based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, with team members across Australia and New Zealand. All coaching and mentoring is delivered virtually, so we work with clients anywhere in Australia and internationally.
Our core programs are Prodigy (coaching for salon owners with teams), Indi (coaching for solo operators, freelancers, and home studio owners), and a range of online short courses, including Project Profit, The Salon Bible, The Hustle, and Girl Math. We also offer single-session coaching through One Night Stand, multi-session packages through No Strings Attached, and our startup course Risky Business.
Prodigy starts from $349 per week, and Indi starts from $249 per week. One Night Stand single sessions are $599, and No Strings Attached packages range from $1,499 to $4,999. We also offer free resources through our ebook library. Check our coaching page for current pricing, or fill out our enquiry form and we'll help you find the right fit for your budget.
“Tell Me About It” is Cait's podcast for salon and beauty business owners. It covers business, money, mindset, pricing, leadership, and all the stuff nobody else in the industry wants to say out loud. It's available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms.
100%! Our Indi program was built specifically for freelancers, rent-a-chair stylists, and home studio owners. Some of our best results come from solos. You don't need a team to need coaching, and you don't need a team to build a seriously profitable business.
Yes. We work with salon owners, clinic owners, barbers, beauty therapists, lash techs, brow artists, and pretty much anyone in the hair and beauty space. The business fundamentals are the same: pricing, profit, systems, clients, and team. One of our most successful clients owns a hair salon and isn't even a qualified hairdresser. She just needed help running the business.
We don't teach from textbooks. Cait bought her first salon at 19, scaled it to $3.9 million in revenue off the floor, and went on to buy, sell, and scale four businesses across the industry. She's not teaching theory she picked up at a conference. She's teaching what she lived, what she got wrong, and what she rebuilt. Every coach on the Iconic team has owned and managed their own business.
You and about 90% of our clients when they first walk through the door. We hear this constantly, and it's one of the first things we tackle. Our clients tell us we make numbers fun, and even if that sounds impossible right now, we promise you'll feel differently about your P&L within a few weeks. Cait was scared of hers once, too. Then she figured out that the numbers are what set you free.
Respectfully, that's usually a sign you need it most. We're not here to drain your bank account. We're here to fix the issue that's leaving it empty. Beth started with $300 in her account and sold items from her salon to pay for her first few weeks. She now owns two salons across two states. That said, if our memberships aren't right for you yet, grab something from our free resource library or check out Project Profit as a lower-cost starting point.
Prodigy members have regular coaching sessions, plus access to training modules they can work through at their own pace. Indi members work through the framework with regular check-ins. We designed this for people who are already maxed out, so we're not going to pile more onto your plate and pretend that's helpful. Most clients find that the time they invest in coaching saves them hours elsewhere by stopping doing shit that doesn't work.
We hear this one a lot, and honestly, we're not surprised. The coaching space in this industry has a problem. A lot of people are selling advice they've never had to follow. If your last coach couldn't show you their own results, or if the whole thing felt like a vibe check with no substance, you weren't getting coached, you were getting fluffed. We track everything in 12-week cycles with hard data so you can see exactly what's shifting and what isn't.
Nope. We work with clients internationally. All of our coaching and mentoring happens virtually, so as long as you've got wifi, we can make it happen.
That's fine. Grab something from our free ebook library, listen to the podcast, follow us on Instagram, and come back when you're ready. We're not going anywhere.
Fill out our enquiry form and tell us a little about you and your business. Sav (our client liaison) will reach out, answer your questions, and help you figure out which program fits where you're at. No sales pitch, no pressure — if we're not the right fit, we'll tell you that too.
No lock-in contracts or exit fees. Our clients stay because the coaching works, not because they're trapped in a 12-month agreement they regret signing.
Our coaching programs are for business owners, but our podcast and free resources are for everyone in the industry. And The Hustle short course is built for owners, employees, and whole teams.
It depends on where you're starting from and how hard you go. Some clients see shifts within weeks once they fix their pricing. Others take a few months to overhaul their systems and see the numbers move. We track everything in 12-week cycles, so you're never guessing whether it's working.
