With nearly two decades of experience as a hairstylist and salon owner, Nija Ashley Dalton is more than just a beauty professional — she is a passionate educator, mentor, and entrepreneur. As the founder of BU Salon & HairLounge and the MentorHER program, Nija is dedicated to creating a space where hairstylists can build thriving careers, not just jobs.

Her vision is simple but powerful: to empower stylists to treat their craft seriously, grow their businesses strategically, and ultimately enjoy financial freedom and the ability to retire with dignity. Drawing on her own journey — including both triumphs and lessons learned — Nija provides a proven blueprint for stylists to succeed without starting from scratch.

In addition to her salon and mentorship work, Nija is a published author, speaker, and coach who continues to inspire and educate the next generation of beauty professionals through hands-on classes, business strategy consultations, and her upcoming BU Online Academy.
