MACHINES

Ready to explore what’s possible? Here are some of the business paths we can help you launch and grow

Body Contouring (Muscle Stimulation & Slimming)

Body contouring is all about helping clients reshape and tone their bodies without surgery. What is a body contouring business? It typically involves non-invasive treatments like muscle stimulation and advanced slimming technologies to firm muscles and reduce stubborn fat. For instance, you might use a muscle-stimulating machine that gives clients the effect of an intense workout while they relax, or other modalities like ultrasonic cavitation or radiofrequency for fat reduction and skin tightening. This business is booming – people are eager for effective ways to achieve their fitness and body goals painlessly. A body contouring studio often offers packages for abs, arms, thighs, glutes, back, chest, and more, helping clients boost their confidence and look their best. How Shaped JT Helps You Succeed: Body contouring is where Shaped JT began, so you’ll be learning from the experts! We’ll equip you with state-of-the-art body contouring machines for muscle stimulation and fat reduction, along with comprehensive training on how to use them safely and effectively. Our team guides you in setting up a home-based studio or commercial space optimized for body sculpting sessions – including room layout, privacy considerations, and ambiance to make clients feel comfortable. We assist with pricing strategies and session packages (for example, offering multi-session discounts or combo treatments) to maximize your income. Through our mentorship, you’ll learn how to consult with clients about their goals, track their progress, and get amazing before-and-after results that will build your reputation. We teach you how to take amazing, high quality photos too. Plus, Shaped JT’s marketing support will help you showcase those success stories (with client consent) on social media or your website to attract new customers. From initial business licensing to mastering the art of client care, we ensure your body contouring business is set up for consistent, profitable success.

Hydradermabrasion

Hydradermabrasion is a cutting-edge facial service that exfoliates and hydrates the skin simultaneously, leaving your client with glowing skin wherever the treatment is performed. What is a hydradermabrasion business? It involves using a special machine that deeply cleanses pores, removes dead skin cells with a gentle water-based abrasion, and infuses nourishing serums. The result is a refreshed, glowing complexion that clients can see and feel immediately. Hydradermabrasion has become one of the most sought-after spa services because it’s gentle, relaxing, and effective for all skin types – a fantastic business for skincare enthusiasts to launch. How Shaped JT Helps You Succeed: Shaped JT provides end-to-end support for starting your own hydradermabrasion studio or adding this service to your existing spa. We’ll help you acquire a professional hydradermabrasion machine and train you on its use, so you can deliver spa-quality facials right away. We advise on setting up your facial treatment room – from comfortable chairs to proper sanitation – to create a luxurious experience that keeps clients coming back. As part of our business planning, we help you identify your target market (for example, busy professionals seeking quick skincare refreshers) and craft packages or memberships to generate steady income. You’ll learn how to price your hydrafacial services profitably, manage appointment bookings, and even retail skincare products for additional revenue. With Shaped JT’s mentorship in marketing and client retention, your hydradermabrasion business will shine in the competitive beauty market.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a popular skincare treatment that uses tiny needles to rejuvenate the skin. This minimally invasive procedure stimulates collagen production, helping to reduce scars, wrinkles, and fine lines. What is a microneedling business? It typically involves providing collagen-boosting facial services using a professional microneedling device. The most common areas to treat are: stretch marks, vaginal region, face, scalp/hair growth, pigmentation, etc. Clients love microneedling because it delivers smoother, more youthful-looking skin with little downtime. It’s a high-demand service in the beauty industry as people seek effective, non-surgical skin improvements. How Shaped JT Helps You Succeed: We set you up with the knowledge and tools to become a sought-after microneedling specialist. Shaped JT will help you obtain quality microneedling equipment and proper training/certification so you can perform treatments safely and confidently. We guide you in setting up a clean, soothing treatment space (even if it’s a room in your home) that meets health standards and delights your clients. You’ll receive marketing support to attract clients looking for skin rejuvenation, and we’ll incorporate microneedling into your business plan – including pricing strategies, appointment scheduling tips, and upselling complementary skincare products. From understanding skin layers to building a loyal client base, Shaped JT’s mentorship ensures your microneedling business starts strong and keeps growing.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a highly popular service that provides long-term reduction of unwanted hair. What is a laser hair removal business? In this venture, you’ll be using specialized laser equipment to target hair follicles and inhibit future growth, helping clients say goodbye to constant shaving or waxing. It’s a service in demand year-round – from people tired of razor burn to those who just want a convenient beauty routine. Laser hair removal clinics offer treatments for various areas (like legs, underarms, face, bikini line), and clients often purchase multi-session packages to achieve optimal results. As an owner, you’d provide safe, effective treatments and potentially change your clients’ lives by freeing them from the hassle of unwanted hair. How Shaped JT Helps You Succeed: Shaped JT will help you launch a laser hair removal business with confidence. We’ll provide the laser equipment appropriate for the range of skin tones and hair types you’ll serve, and ensure you get the proper training or certification needed to operate it. We’ll walk you through all necessary steps and client consent protocols so your clinic meets high standards from day one. Our guidance extends to clinic setup: we’ll advise on treatment room requirements (like cooling, protective eyewear for clients, and skincare supplies for post-treatment care) and overall studio design that feels professional and calming. On the business side, we help you perform pricing and profitability analysis (laser machines are an investment, and we show you how to quickly recoup costs through smart pricing and package deals). You’ll also get marketing support to educate your community on the benefits of laser hair removal and attract clients – for example, running promotions for first-time visitors or informational open-house events. With Shaped JT’s end-to-end mentorship, you can build a reputable laser hair removal clinic that earns trust and rave reviews, leading to steady growth and referrals.

Tattoo Removal

Tattoo removal is a specialized service that uses advanced lasers to fade or eliminate unwanted tattoos. What is a tattoo removal business? It involves consulting with clients who have tattoos they wish to remove or lighten (often for a cover-up or life change), and then performing a series of laser treatments to break down the ink particles in the skin. This business can be incredibly rewarding – you’re helping people move forward with their lives or make room for new art by removing the old. With tattoos more common than ever, the demand for removal has also risen, making it a promising niche for a savvy entrepreneur. Running a tattoo removal studio means balancing technical skill with empathy, as clients may be emotional about the process; you’ll provide guidance, manage expectations on how many sessions are needed, and celebrate with them when their unwanted ink is finally gone. How Shaped JT Helps You Succeed: Shaped JT’s comprehensive support will give you a strong start in the tattoo removal industry. We’ll help you obtain the appropriate laser technology designed specifically for tattoo ink of various colors – ensuring you have a machine that is effective yet safe on skin. Our team will guide you through proper training to operate the laser and care for clients’ skin pre- and post-treatment. Because tattoo removal often requires multiple sessions, we’ll help you craft a business model that encourages clients to complete their treatment plan (such as package pricing or financing options for long-term clients). You’ll learn how to set up a sterile, comfortable treatment room and follow all health regulations. We also provide client communication training – you’ll know how to explain the process and progress to clients in a reassuring way. From a business perspective, Shaped JT mentors you on marketing this niche service: for example, networking with local tattoo studios for referrals or showcasing success stories of faded tattoos on your website. With our support in operations, customer care, and growth strategy, your tattoo removal business can become the go-to in your area for second chances and fresh starts.

Microscopic Hair Analysis

Microscopic hair analysis is an innovative service in the beauty and wellness field where you examine clients’ hair strands under a high-powered microscope to assess their hair health. What is a microscopic hair analysis business? In this venture, you act as a hair health consultant: clients bring in a few strands of their hair (or you take a sample), and you analyze characteristics like the hair’s thickness, porosity, scalp condition, and any damage or buildup present. Using those insights, you provide personalized recommendations – perhaps custom hair care routines, product suggestions, or treatments to improve their hair growth and quality. This service is an exciting add-on for a salon or a unique standalone consulting business, as it offers people scientific, tailored advice for their hair (which is something many are eager for in an era of personalized beauty). It’s a relatively new niche, which means less competition and a chance to establish yourself as an expert early on. How Shaped JT Helps You Succeed: Shaped JT embraces innovative business ideas like microscopic hair analysis. If you’re keen on this niche, we’ll assist you in getting the right tools, including a quality microscope with camera output so you can show clients up-close views of their hair. We provide training on how to perform hair analysis – what to look for in the hair shaft and scalp, and how to interpret the findings in a meaningful way for clients. We also guide you on packaging your service: for instance, you might offer a “Hair Health Analysis & Consultation” package that includes the microscope exam and a follow-up plan or even sell custom hair care kits. Our business planning support covers how to market this unique service (educating potential clients on the benefits, perhaps through social media videos showing the microscope in action). We’ll show you how to partner with hair salons, dermatologists, or trichologists for referrals, or how to integrate this service if you are a salon owner looking to stand out. As always, we handle the fundamentals too – pricing the service profitably, keeping client records of their hair progress, and all the tax/legal setup for your consulting practice. With Shaped JT’s help, you can become a pioneer in microscopic hair analysis, offering a one-of-a-kind service that builds client loyalty and positions you as a true hair care guru.

Pottery Guild (Large or Small)

A pottery guild is a creative business that centers around the art of ceramics. What is a pottery guild business? It can take several forms – you might run a small pottery studio for yourself, create a membership-based guild where local potters share a workspace and kiln, or even offer classes and workshops to the public. In essence, it’s about providing a space and resources for making pottery: wheels, kilns (your choice, some clients choose to fire their creations at another local studio), tools, clay, and a gallery or shop area to display finished pieces. A small pottery business could be you selling your own handcrafted ceramics online or at markets; a large guild might be a community studio with dozens of members contributing to rent and teaching classes. Pottery is experiencing a renaissance as people seek hands-on, tactile hobbies and unique, handmade products. A pottery guild or studio can be both an artistic outlet and a solid business if managed well – revenue can come from class fees, memberships, studio time rentals, and sales of pottery. How Shaped JT Helps You Succeed: Shaped JT is excited to support creative entrepreneurs like you. If your dream is to open a pottery guild or studio, we’ll help turn that creative vision into an operational plan. Our business planning covers choosing the right business model for your situation: we’ll discuss whether it makes sense to start small in your garage or a spare room (perhaps teaching intimate classes or selling art online), or if you aim to establish a larger community studio (meaning you’ll need a commercial space, insurance, and member management). We guide you through financial planning for equipment – pottery requires kilns, wheels, shelving, etc., so we’ll help you budget for new or second-hand equipment and even explore financing or grants for art businesses. If you plan to run classes or membership, we assist with setting up the structure: pricing membership tiers or class fees, creating schedules, and implementing an online booking system so it’s easy for customers to engage. We can help you hire staff as well. Studio layout and renovation is another area we’ll advise on, ensuring your space is safe (proper ventilation for kiln fumes, for example) and inspiring for creativity. Marketing a pottery guild is unique – we’ll brainstorm strategies like hosting open studio nights, gallery showings of members’ work, or partnering with local cafes to display and sell ceramics. We also provide mentorship on the community-building aspect: how to create a welcoming atmosphere that attracts artists and hobbyists and keeps them coming back. From the legal side (like waivers for studio use and understanding zoning bylaws for kilns) to the joyous side of celebrating your first sold-out workshop, Shaped JT will be your behind-the-scenes partner in launching a pottery business that’s as vibrant as the art you’ll create.

Café

Everyone loves a great café – a cozy spot to grab coffee, meet friends, or find inspiration. What is a café business? It ranges from a small coffee shop or tea house to a trendy eatery serving pastries, sandwiches, and specialty drinks. As a café owner, you’re not just selling coffee; you’re creating an experience and a community hub. A successful café needs a clear concept (are you an artsy bohemian cafe? A modern espresso bar? A family-friendly bakery cafe?), consistent quality in your food and drinks, and friendly customer service that makes people feel at home. While the market is competitive, a well-planned café in the right location can become a beloved destination and a profitable business – people will always crave a place to unwind and indulge in a good cup of coffee. How Shaped JT Helps You Succeed: You bring the passion for coffee and hospitality, and Shaped JT will bring the business expertise to launch your dream café. Our full-spectrum support is tailored to brick-and-mortar businesses like cafes as well. We assist with detailed business planning – refining your café concept, identifying your target customers (e.g. morning commuters, students, or families), and writing a solid business plan that could help secure a location lease or bank loan. When it comes to the nitty-gritty, we guide you through permits and regulations (like food safety certifications, health inspections, and any licensing for serving food/drinks). Financially, we’ll help forecast your startup costs (espresso machine, anyone?) and project your revenues based on capacity and pricing, so you know what it takes to be profitable. Designing your space is another area we love to help with: whether you’re converting a vacant shop or your home’s front room into a cafe, we provide input on layout, ambiance, and even menu design to align with your brand. If you want to design nothing, we can take care of that as well, even going as far as to provide everything you need in order to walk into the cafe and have a turnkey business model that just requires maintenance and marketing. We’ll share marketing strategies specific to local businesses – from hosting a grand opening event, to leveraging social media with mouth-watering photos, to partnering with delivery apps or local businesses for cross-promotion. Through our mentorship, you’ll also learn about inventory management and supplier relationships (ensuring you never run out of beans or croissants, and negotiating good prices with vendors). Opening a café is a big endeavor, but with Shaped JT’s knowledgeable, step-by-step support, you can brew success and build that warm, buzzing community space you’ve envisioned.

Yoga Studio

A yoga studio is a sanctuary of wellness where people come to practice yoga, meditation, and mindfulness. What is a yoga studio business? It involves offering yoga classes (and possibly related practices like meditation sessions or workshops) to clients of various skill levels. You might have a schedule of different class styles – from calming Yin yoga to dynamic Vinyasa flows – and cater to individuals seeking stress relief, fitness, or community. A yoga studio can range from a small home-based setup (imagine converting a roomy basement or loft into a serene yoga space) to a full-fledged commercial studio with multiple classes a day. The core of this business is creating a peaceful, welcoming environment and a schedule of classes taught by you or other qualified yoga instructors. The wellness industry is robust and growing; people are increasingly prioritizing mental and physical health, so a well-run yoga studio with a personal touch can thrive and change lives. How Shaped JT Helps You Succeed: Whether you’re a certified yoga instructor with a dream of your own studio or an entrepreneur partnering with yogis, Shaped JT will help align your zen vision with solid business foundations. We also partner with trainers in order to certify you as a yoga trainer. First, we help with strategic planning: deciding on your studio’s identity and niche – will you focus on a particular style or audience (like yoga for seniors, power yoga for athletes, or family yoga)? We’ll then work on a business plan covering class pricing (drop-in rates, class packages, memberships), scheduling optimally for your community, and projecting income vs. expenses (rent or renovation of space, instructor fees, mats and props, etc.). If you need to get certified as a yoga teacher or hire instructors, we guide you on those decisions too, including understanding certification processes and fair pay structures. When it comes to the physical space, we offer full renovation setups for you and advice on studio setup: everything from flooring (e.g. hardwood or cushioned mats) to lighting, sound systems for soothing music, and ambiance to create that calm, sacred feel. We’ll ensure you remember the little things that elevate a studio – like a welcoming reception area, clean changing room, and maybe a corner to sell yoga mats or health juices for extra revenue. Shaped JT’s support also covers marketing your studio: we’ll share strategies to build a loyal client base, such as introductory offers for new students, referral programs, community yoga events in the park to get your name out, and social media presence showcasing your classes and student testimonials. Crucially, we mentor you in the customer experience – how to foster a community where students feel supported and keep coming back (perhaps using booking apps, feedback forms, and newsletter updates to engage them). With our comprehensive help in both the spiritual and business sides of running a yoga studio, you can confidently bring calm and strength to your clients while enjoying a profitable, fulfilling enterprise.

Pilates Studio

A Pilates studio offers specialized fitness training focused on core strength, flexibility, and overall body conditioning, often using equipment like the Reformer, Cadillac, and mat accessories. What is a Pilates studio business? It entails providing Pilates classes or one-on-one training sessions to clients looking for low-impact but highly effective exercise. Pilates has a dedicated following – from dancers and athletes to individuals rehabbing injuries or those simply wanting a toned physique with improved posture. In your Pilates studio, you might run a schedule of group classes (mat Pilates or small group reformer classes) and private lessons. The setting can be boutique and intimate – many successful studios start in a converted space at home or a small commercial unit – equipped with the necessary machines and a calm atmosphere. The business is about delivering quality instruction, maintaining specialized equipment, and helping clients achieve their fitness goals in a safe, personalized way. With fitness trends continually leaning toward functional and mindful workouts, a Pilates studio can be a rewarding business that attracts a loyal, health-conscious community. How Shaped JT Helps You Succeed: Launching a Pilates studio comes with unique considerations, and Shaped JT will guide you through each one. We begin with business modeling and planning: for example, determining whether you’ll focus on private sessions (which allow higher pricing and tailored programs) or small group classes (which can bring in more people at accessible rates), or a mix of both. Our team helps outline your startup costs – quality Pilates equipment is an investment, so we help budget for Reformers, mats, exercise balls, and other props, and explore financing options if needed. We provide support in finding or preparing your space: maybe it’s turning your garage or basement into a polished mini-studio with mirrors and proper flooring, or leasing a studio space in town – either way, we’ll advise on layout for safety and flow, equipment arrangement, and creating an inviting vibe. If you need to get certified as a Pilates instructor (or hire certified trainers), we have partners that offer certification programs and help plan for instructor wages in your financial projections. Shaped JT’s mentorship also covers client acquisition and retention in the Pilates market: we’ll teach you how to market to potential clients like new moms, fitness enthusiasts, or rehab patients in your community, and how to schedule classes at convenient times. You’ll learn about offering intro packages (e.g., a discounted first 3 sessions) to get people in the door, and then using memberships or progress tracking to keep them engaged. Additionally, we’ll walk you through setting up the business legally and efficiently – from waivers for physical activity to proper insurance coverage and expense tracking (those reformer machines are assets for your balance sheet!). With our full-spectrum support, you’ll be prepared not only to teach great Pilates classes but to run a great Pilates business – one that stretches and strengthens both your clients and your entrepreneurial success.
