As a service-based industry, it is really easy to focus on the feels and the vibes because we are in this pressure cooker of an economy, and we start to make emotional decisions that are not good for business. I sat down to record this episode in urgency, because I want everyone to take a step back and really check the math on a piece of advice that has been going around Instagram about using a loyalty pricing model. 

This is a new pricing strategy that could be incredibly detrimental to your income, so I want to work through a number of different scenarios so that you really know what’s happening if you decide to use a system like this in your business!

Today’s episode is inspired by a message I received from an incredible Thriving Stylist podcast listener who is asking for guidance on how to build and grow her career as a commission-based stylist, while not having complete control over her career. 

As a stylist, I know that you want to grow, and you need to be in an environment where growth is supported. When you’re in this type of environment you’ll be in the driver seat of your career and in control of your future, and when you’re successful, the salon owner is too - it’s a win-win partnership!

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m feeling a little bit vulnerable digging into this topic today, but I want to look at what it means to display professional, profitable and authentic vulnerability. This is something that I’ve struggled with for a long time, and probably still do, but I’ve been able to really learn how to be more vulnerable, but in the right way. In this episode, I share the do’s and don’ts of being vulnerable as a business owner, the dangers of oversharing or creating content that isn’t aligned with your brand, and so much more!

Today’s topic is something that is mysterious to our industry, but not to the world around us. In this episode, we are talking about Web 3.0, which is based on the premise that there’s an alternative to exploiting users for data to make money, and that instead, building open platforms that share value with users directly will create more value for everyone, including the platform. I’ll be breaking down further what Web 3.0 is all about, what it stands for, and what it could mean for our industry moving forward!

Being content and comfortable is where businesses go to die, because the world around us is always growing. That’s why for today’s episode, we are talking all about growth, and in order to do this exercise you’re going to have to set your ego aside. I want you to rethink your business, think about how you can get more clients faster and how you can attract the right people to work for you. This is my invitation to you to take a hard look at your website, reviews and messaging, and set the goal to look many times sharper than the actual value of the transformation you deliver. Do this, and watch the magic that happens for you and your business!

Every once in a while there are a slew of friends and family who come to me and complain about their hair stylist or salon. I have a good handful of these types of stories and recent situations, which is why I want to bring them to you in this episode.

Today’s episode will give you a peek behind the curtain at what consumers are really looking for, and what it will take to build a business quickly as a beauty professional right now - PERIOD.

Today we’re looking at Afterpay, a new payment processor that has taken Australian shoppers by storm with more than one million customers and almost five million transactions being made on the Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) platform since its launch in 2015. In this episode, I reveal what Afterpay is, how it works, and the ways it can impact your business and your clientele. 

As you’ll hear, I don’t think that Afterpay is flawless (not that anything is!) but I hope this gives you some awareness about what this system is all about, whether or not it is a good thing for you, and what it can do for your business and your clientele if you do decide to use it in your salon!

That’s why today I’m sharing the things to think about when you are reviewing and choosing which online booking system to use in your salon.

One of my pet peeves is seeing so much misinformation in this industry. We love to see things that back up our own beliefs, but this type of mindset only keeps us playing small. This is why in today’s episode we’re looking at the money myths and lies that we often tell ourselves, and I’m getting real about all the ways that a limiting mindset in this area can hold us all back. It’s time to stop focusing on short-term fixes and to start thinking long-term about building a successful and thriving business, so let’s go!

Several months back I did an episode about the looming recession that will be hitting our industry like it hits others, and yes, it’s happening. One of my amazing Thrivers, Caitlin Lozano, reached out to me a few weeks back and she explained to me how she is seeing the effects of the impending recession, and she agreed to do an interview with me about it. 

Today I’m sharing Caitlin’s thoughts as she explains what she’s experienced with her salon’s clientele. I hope you listen closely, because Caitlin is somebody who is an incredibly accomplished stylist and has built a beautiful salon and team, and she reveals a lot of insight in this one.

Stylists comparing themselves to others and imposter syndrome are running rampant in this industry right now and it’s creating burnout, isolation, and a lot of self-doubt - all needlessly. That is why today we are doing things a little different on the podcast.

I’m going to share the process for defining success on your own terms, not someone else's, and the magic that can happen when you shift your perspective in this way!

This week’s show is a continuation of last week’s episode where I tackled topics like profit, profit margin and perceived value, or essentially how to keep as much money as we possibly can in our pockets!

My team and I recently had an awareness that we don’t talk about salon leadership and ownership stuff nearly enough on the podcast, so I’m excited to be diving into some leadership coaching with you today! 

Reading The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership: A New Paradigm for Sustainable Success by Jim Dither, Diana Chapman and Kaley Klemp, shifted my perception on why salons can become drama filled, negativity ridden workplaces and how they get there, and in this episode, I share my thoughts on what I read in this excellent book. 

I encourage you to read it too and implement these strategies, and by doing so, the more you can understand your team and make adjustments to be a better leader in the salon (all with less drama and higher profits)!
