Plan a salon anniversary party with ChatGPT instead of rounds of meetings
Rowena and Eric Yeager of Studio Wish Salon Spa in Twinsburg, Ohio (12 employees), a 2026 Salon Today 200 honoree
ChatGPT, which the salon calls "Trinity," designed the entire event for the salon's 24th anniversary party, and the team then carried out the details.

ChatGPT
The problem
Designing an event normally took many meetings and brainstorming sessions.
What happened
"We recently used ChatGPT to design an entire event that normally would have taken many meetings and brainstorming, all done in a few clicks, then we carried out the details," the salon told Salon Today. No attendance or sales figures are given.

How to set it up yourself
- What Studio Wish did: had ChatGPT design the whole plan for the salon's 24th anniversary party, then the team carried out the details.
- Give ChatGPT the basics with the prompt below: the occasion, date, budget, guest count, space and what you want guests to do (rebook, try a service, bring a friend). Ask for a full plan, not just ideas.
- Ask follow-ups in the same chat: a week-by-week task list with a name next to each task, invitation text for email, Instagram and a front-desk sign, and a shopping list within your budget.
- Hold one short team meeting to cut what doesn't fit your salon and assign the tasks, then block setup time in your booking calendar so no one books clients over it.
