Background
Harper spent six years running the front desk and book for a busy two-van mobile grooming outfit before going all-in on GoHighLevel automation. She is obsessed with the unglamorous middle of a grooming business, the booking confirmations, the reminder texts, the rebooking nudges, because that is where a full schedule is quietly won or lost. She writes the playbooks she wishes she'd had when her old salon was drowning in voicemail.
