Welcome to the

Academy

You Don’t Need Another Course.
You Need the Business Education the Industry Skipped.

At Her Footprint Academy™, we built the blueprint for beauty pros who are tired of guessing. If you’re talented but not yet consistent, making money but not sure how to grow it, or craving systems that work with your lifestyle instead of draining it — this is your next step.

This isn’t just a course.

It’s where beauty finally meets business — with structure, clarity, and strategy you can actually use.

From Benita,

Founder of Her Footprint Academy™


“I built this Academy because I remember what it felt like to be talented but tired — hustling behind the chair, trying to figure it all out on my own. I didn’t need another course. I needed structure. I needed systems. I needed someone to show me how to build a business that actually supported me.

Now, I help beauty pros like you do the same — with strategy, soul, and sustainability at the core.”

Peek Inside the Academy

You’re Building a Business with Infrastructure, Not Just a Hustle.

You’ve got the talent. You’re showing up. You’re trying all the things. But deep down, you know it shouldn’t feel this chaotic.

Her Footprint Academy™ was built for beauty pros who are doing the work, but still don’t feel in control of their business. You’ve outgrown survival mode. And now, you’re ready to run your business with strategy, structure, sustainable income, and not stress.

You're in the right place if you’ve ever said:

“I’m good at what I do, but I don’t feel like a real CEO.”

“I’m booked some months and slow the next — I need consistency.”

“I want to create digital offers, but I don’t know where to start.”

“I’m overwhelmed trying to do everything by myself.”

“I’m tired of chasing clients and relying on Instagram for sales.”

“I just want to build something that actually works long-term.”

If any of that hits, this isn’t just another course — it’s your blueprint for real business ownership.

Whether you’re pivoting, scaling, or starting fresh, this space was built to hold you while you grow

Real Beauty Pros.

Real Wins.

What happens when you finally get the education your license didn’t give you?

“I used to think having a nice website and a few reviews was enough... until I met Benita.”

I’ve been in the beauty industry for 11 years, but working with Benita finally helped me understand who I really serve and what makes my brand stand out. After just one session, I realized I needed more than just aesthetics. I needed a presence. Since joining HFA, I’ve had multiple new client inquiries, booked 6 new people in a week, and even had folks calling immediately after applying what I learned. The results were almost instant. I felt seen, guided, and pushed beyond what I thought I could do all with love and strategy. It’s like having a business therapist who gets it and walks with you through the hard parts. Benita didn’t just give me ideas. She gave me structure, clarity, and momentum.

If you’re talented but tired of winging it, join this community. You won’t be the same.

"I didn’t even realize how much I needed this type of support until Benita spoke to my reality. She helped me slow down and gave me a structure to start rebuilding not just my business, but how I show up for it. If this is what HER Footprint Academy is about, I see now why it’s so needed in our industry."

— Simone E.

Beauty Pro & Business Owner

"I thought I had clarity until Benita helped me realize what I was actually missing. Her guidance gave me the push I needed to connect deeper with my clients and step into my next level. One session with her showed me that a good website isn’t enough if your presence isn’t personal. The clarity I gained from her coaching has shifted the way I lead my brand and think about growth."

You deserve a business that doesn’t burn you out — and a mentor who’s walked that journey herself.

I'm Benita Davis.

Licensed Cosmetologist, Project Manager, Business Strategist, and the founder of Her Footprint Academy™.


But before any of those titles, I was a beauty pro just like you. Talented, booked… but tired. Hustling hard, but still feeling stuck.

I built a six-figure beauty business from scratch. Then I burned out. Completely.

That pivot led me to rebuild a more sustainable, legacy-driven business — one rooted in structure, systems, and emotional wealth. And now, I teach other beauty professionals how to do the same.

At Her Footprint Academy™, I blend lived experience with formal business education — from earning my BBA in Entrepreneurship to becoming a certified Project Manager. I created the very kind of program I wish existed when I was figuring out how to run a real, scalable beauty business.

I’m not just here to help you grow — I’m here to help you protect your peace, raise your prices, and finally feel in control of your future.

Because this time, we build differently.
