Bryce Cleveland changing Lives On A Global Scale

Published

5 years ago

September 4, 2020

Eccentric, enterprising, obsessive, or even over-curious about the next big thing are just a few words to sum up Bryce Cleveland. At 36 years old, this man has stories of remarkability, how to stay on the high road in the midst of adversity, and knows how to keep the attention of a room.

I had the chance to visit his beautiful home in Arizona, or as some would call it, an adult playground. With exotic cats and frill dragons, hammocks suspended from the ceiling and even a zipline that scales the entire backyard, he has made his life full of play while also building the world’s largest aesthetics company for intuitive online training and top-quality supplies.

If you haven’t heard of it yet, SCALPA is the gateway for young entrepreneurs and esthetician’s to take the fast road into a career and start making money fast. Bryce is a 9th grade dropout that set off to create a new way of learning, away from the archaic college systems. He has done this by building a dedicated team to train in top-notch beauty procedures and high-quality products to pair with their service.

“If you’re winning, I am winning. It’s just that simple,” says Bryce. “Our support never ends. My job is to make you a rockstar in the beauty industry and by offering my services, we teach you so that you can build your empire.” It seems that he is more like the head of a new church than a trainer of beauty, and that he has built a culture of artists all around the world who are waiting for his next program to learn.

Bryce is over-the-top stylish, charismatic, and seems to make it all look easy. But this is far from his younger years when he was homeless and had to start all of this from scratch. “I knew I could change the face of the way people learned trades. I knew that school wasn’t for everyone and they needed a blueprint to direct success”, he says.

Bryce started off in Rochester, NY and has built a booming business all in the name of supporting people who find their purpose in this industry. “At the end of the day, it comes down to one question, ‘how can I change more lives?’”

Daniel Dumitrascu, Group CFO, added: “We are pleased to demonstrate sequential improvement in our cost/income ratio despite ongoing investment in growth markets. With the first nine months delivered, our Q4 plan is well calibrated to close the year strongly.”

Net customer adds of approximately 8 million during Q3, bringing the total client count to ~92 million as of 30 September 2025. On pace for the 100 million-customer target by year-end.
