Our Story
What started as a simple idea, turned into a global growth partner impacting the lives of thousands of PMU artists and beauty professionals around the world.
After watching thousands of PMU businesses struggle with bringing in consistent clientele using outdated marketing tactics, Founder & CEO, Danny Tran, recognized that no tried-and-true business growth & marketing system, tailored exclusively for the luxury beauty space, existed.
The Highstoke mission became to develop a proven solution to help artists around the world not only survive — but thrive. Starting as a project of one, Highstoke has quickly grown to a globally recognized powerhouse team of 35+ in over 7 countries and recently being named The most exclusive PMU Growth Partner for beauty pros across the globe.
Our simple mission is to help PMU artists build their dream businesses. We empower our partners to serve more people in their communities, every day. Our impact is measured by the countless PMU businesses that have grown to 6 and 7-figures; artists that have gone from a single room to multiple salons, hiring a full team, launching training programs, starting product lines, touring the world, and most importantly, living their best lives with the business of their dreams.
In the past five years, Highstoke has worked with 1,100+ luxury partners in over 15 countries, generated multiple 8-figures in client revenue, been featured in world-renowned articles (Entrepreneur, Thrive Global, Buzzfeed, Yahoo and more) and partnered with national PMU names & top industry experts.
