Laura Khesin is the founder and chief stylist at Society Beauty Bar, a boutique salon with locations in the Boston area. After her sophomore year at Suffolk University, she decided to focus on becoming a stylist. She spent five years working for a salon before becoming an independent stylist.
Then in 2017, Laura opened her first salon as a rental property in Arlington. Five years later, she pivoted to offering commission-based salons, which combined the best parts of being an independent stylist with the traditional commission salon model. Through Society, stylists enjoy the same benefits of independent contractors without the nuances of working for themselves and can grow their careers with freedom and a salon family that supports them in their aspirations.
