Chelle Neff, the CEO and founder of Urban Betty, has been innovating and impacting the salon industry for decades. She created Urban Betty, one of the largest independently owned hair salon chains in Austin, Texas, to be a community rather than just a one-stop shop for haircare needs. As a member of the Forbes Business Council, the Female Founders Collective, and Impact Austin, Chelle is constantly learning, growing, and innovating. Having been in the salon industry for 28 years, she is eager to teach others and give those in her community the skills to accomplish their dreams.
Female-Founded Hair Salon & Woman-Owned Beauty Brand
Growing up, Chelle was a natural when it came to expressing herself creatively. This manifested through a knack for doing hair and creating art. At the age of 16, Chelle enrolled in cosmetology school and was a fully licensed cosmetologist by age 18. Ten years later, she opened Urban Betty! Eighteen years later, Urban Betty thrives with two locations, newly added spa services, and a soon-to-be-opened third salon in Round Rock, Texas. On top of that, Chelle launched Urban Betty Haircare. A product line that sells haircare products of the highest quality while empowering women by donating 1% of the profit to support female entrepreneurs.
Chelle champions women in various industries and thrives when given the opportunity to connect with small-business leaders in her community and beyond. With this in mind, in 2017, she launched a series of education classes for the general public and stylists called Betty Bootcamp.
Urban Betty is a 100% commission-based salon where stylists and aestheticians are employees rather than independent contractors. From a humble beginning to thriving haircare horizons, Urban Betty is a fixture of the Austin, Texas, beauty scene for years to come, thanks to the vision of business-savvy Chelle Neff.
