Laycee Gwyther
Founder and CEO, Executive Beauty Suites
Laycee Gwyther is the founder and CEO of Executive Beauty Suites and Beauty and the Boss Consulting, where she helps beauty professionals and entrepreneurs turn their talent into real, sustainable businesses.
With a background that spans the beauty industry, business consulting, and real estate, Laycee built Executive Beauty Suites to solve a problem she saw everywhere. Talented professionals were working hard but stuck inside systems that limited their income, their freedom, and their ability to grow. She created a model that gives beauty professionals private studio ownership, business education, and a supportive community so they can build careers on their own terms.
Through Beauty and the Boss Consulting, Laycee also mentors business owners on strategy, systems, marketing, and leadership, helping them move from overwhelmed to organized and profitable. Her work focuses on creating businesses that support real life, not the other way around.
Beyond business, Laycee is deeply committed to community and youth leadership. She works with young people, women, and emerging entrepreneurs to help them develop confidence, skills, and a belief in what is possible.
Everything she builds is rooted in one idea.
When people are given the right tools, support, and opportunity, they can change their future.
Josh Gwyther
Founder and President, Executive Beauty Suites
Josh Gwyther is the founder and President of Executive Beauty Suites, where he helps lead operations, systems, and the behind-the-scenes structure that allows the company to grow with strength and stability.
With a natural ability to see how things work and how to make them better, Josh plays a key role in building the infrastructure that supports both the company and the independent business owners inside it. From operations and logistics to growth strategy and long-term planning, his focus is on creating systems that scale without losing integrity.
Josh is deeply invested in helping entrepreneurs succeed, not just by providing space but by creating an environment where businesses can thrive. He believes that when people are supported with the right tools, clear processes, and strong leadership, they can build something that lasts.
Alongside Laycee, Josh is committed to building Executive Beauty Suites into more than a workspace. Together they are creating a business community rooted in opportunity, accountability, and growth.

At Executive Beauty Suites, Judy is passionate about building relationships, empowering women, and fostering real growth in business through meaningful conversations, strategic agreements, and a seamless blend of education and business ownership.
A talented and creative stylist, Judy is known for textured haircuts and gray blending techniques. She opened her private suite, Judyann’s SUITE SUCCESS, in January 2025.
Judy’s career in the beauty industry began in 1989. After building her clientele in an hourly salon with a commission incentive program, she transitioned to a strictly commission-based salon.

Her passion for the industry led her to a chair-rental salon in 2012, where she rebuilt her clientele once again into a thriving business.
Today, Judy’s mission is clear: Empower Independent Beauty Professionals for Business Success—helping them pursue business ownership with greater financial security, time freedom, and opportunity. Judy is available for private tours to show what makes Executive Beauty Suites Holland exceptional.
