Financial clarity
for salon operators.

Salon Ops AI was born out of real experience building financial models for a franchise opening. The tools existing owners were using weren't built for the way operators actually think. So we built something better.

  • AI-powered revenue and cash flow forecasting for salon businesses
  • Scenario modeling — stress test your assumptions before you sign a lease
  • Built specifically for the economics of children's and specialty salons
  • Designed to be understood by operators, not just accountants
  • Available for franchise systems to license or white-label

Brent West

Founder & President, West Ventures Inc.

East Hanover, NJ
West Ventures Inc.

"I've spent my career building systems, leading teams, and shipping product. Now I'm applying that same discipline to building businesses I believe in."

Brent brings operational and technical leadership experience from the technology sector, including a key role at a venture-backed startup that raised $100M in Series D funding. He led high-performing engineering teams, managed complex product initiatives, and established the process infrastructure that helped scale the organization.

West Ventures Inc. is the vehicle through which Brent is applying that experience to franchise operations and proprietary technology — starting with a children's hair salon franchise in East Hanover, NJ, and Salon Ops AI, a financial forecasting platform built for salon owners and franchise systems.
