About oVertone Haircare

oVertone Haircare is a women-owned beauty company founded by Liora Dudar and Meagan Scarlett. After launching in 2014, the company quickly became a leader in semi-permanent hair color products, experiencing rapid growth and national recognition.

The Challenge

As demand for oVertone products accelerated, the company grew from approximately 40 employees to 70 while tripling revenue.

Rapid growth created new challenges around recruiting, onboarding, leadership development, HR processes, and maintaining the culture that made the company successful.

The leadership team realized they needed experienced HR leadership without building a larger internal HR department. They needed a flexible partner who could help them move from reacting to rapid growth toward building scalable recruiting, onboarding, leadership, and people practices.

How Turning the Corner HR Helped

Turning the Corner HR partnered with oVertone’s leadership team as a fractional HR partner, beginning with a strategic HR assessment and development of a long term people strategy aligned with the company’s continued growth.

Rather than addressing each HR challenge separately, Turning the Corner HR helped oVertone build a more scalable people infrastructure. The teams redesigned recruiting, hiring, and onboarding processes while implementing the REAL People Culture Building System.

Turning the Corner HR also introduced a performance management framework, strengthened management training, improved HR systems, and integrated leadership development into the company’s existing training platform. This gave oVertone access to experienced HR strategy and support across multiple areas without having to build all of that expertise internally.

Results

The new HR strategy produced measurable improvements throughout the organization.

  • Tripled company revenue while scaling from approximately 40 to 70 employees.
  • Recruiting and onboarding satisfaction increased from 4 to 8 in just six months.
  • Training satisfaction improved from 6 to 8.5.
  • 360 reviews, HR systems, and employee recognition improved by two to three points.
  • Five of seven new hires were people of color, supporting expanded diversity and inclusion initiatives.
  • Built scalable HR processes to support continued organizational growth.

Following these improvements, oVertone continued its rapid growth while earning national recognition, including Editor’s Choice honors from Men’s Health and the Reader’s Choice Award from Glamour.
