Case Study: TRIM NuLu achieves $1M in revenue in just two years with Square

How Louisville’s Best Hair Salon Hit $1M in Revenue Just Two Years After Launching

TRIM NuLu, a Louisville hair salon founded during the pandemic, needed a way to keep bookings, payments, and customer communication running smoothly after its original mini-salon model was disrupted. The team chose Square, using tools like Square Appointments and Square Gift Cards to replace manual processes and support a new full-service salon model.

With Square, TRIM NuLu automated online scheduling, reminders, no-show policies, and marketing campaigns, which let the salon operate without a receptionist early on and reinvest in growth. Square helped cut no-shows from 20% to nearly zero, supported staff growth from three to twelve, and contributed to the salon reaching more than $1 million in revenue in just two years, including $17K in gift card sales in a single Black Friday event.
