  • Wendy's hair obsession started as a tween doing hair on herself and her mom and friends in hight school asked ‘’who does your hair’’? In Jr College she stumbled upon Cosmetology in the course catalog which she thought could be cool. Knowing she would not have sanity being full time mom + working, Wendy put her career on pause for 16 years to raise her 3 boys ages 14-16-18 and has been back behind the chair FT for the past 2 years. Now, ‘'They don’t even know if I’m at home or work and just text me whats for dinner?’’ Always knowing she was going to go back (she just didn’t know when) she went to the Long Beach hair show every year to keep up with trends. She’s been licensed since 1999 and just opened her salon suite ''bespoke hair design'' in Irvine, CA.

  • Katie wanted to be a hairstylist her whole life and fondly recalls shampooing her grandpas hair and slathering him in old spice and cold creme on her grandma’s face. ''I’m very happy in my career, I love it, thankful + grateful!’’ says Katie mom of 4 (ages 5, 8, 10, 16) ''It’s been a great living for me and a blessing, wonderful clients + relationships + it’s priceless.'' Some of her best memories + friends are from beauty school at The Original Aveda Institute in Minneapolis where she loved every second of it.

    Born + raised in MN and dumping hot buckets of water on her car with her baby on her hip to open the door dreaming of life in Florida, she decided ''let’s not wait til we retire!'' She then worked very PT as shampoo assistant for 6mo in eve a couple hours ''when you’re a mom of 4 you have goals/plans'' so she wondered if chair rental would be the way to go even though she didn’t have 1 client and no knowledge of color line other than Aveda. Luckily the busy stylists gave her their overflow!

    Post-pandemic, with one goal in mind: ''how do I service my clients!?'' A divine connection led to her finding her dream space + landlord and was up and running in 2 weeks where she has been for 2 years now!

    PRO TIPS:
    ⭐️ Heated seat in car + Hot bath after work
    ⭐️ Get feet scanned; shoes are ugly but whatever
    ⭐️ Exercise, stretch, light weights
    ⭐️ You won't see me on Social Media... If you want to see me make an appointment!

    WORDS OF WISDOM:
    💗 Always have a vision + believe in it
    💗 ASK: Why did you leave your last stylists? What didn’t you like?
    💗 Go to a big salon after school, be a fly on the wall
    💗 Show me your most fave picture of you
    💗 have grace with your clients when they’re tardy b/c you don’t know when you’re going to be tardy

    FAVE TOOLS:
    Lightener: Matrix + Cree
    Color: Matrix
    Toner: Shades EQ
    Post Color Service: Biolage Acidic Milk Rinse
    Shoes: Oofos

  • ''There's always very good money to be made in the industry and it's a really good side gig!'' says Lindsay, a recent Penn State graduate. As a full time Agronomist specializing in field crop production, so she works mostly outside (not BTC) consulting farmers. On weekends, you'll find her cordless clippers in hand working at Sport Clips in Mechanicsburg, PA.

    This girl is SMART! In college, she would do 20+ haircuts for frat guys.... because, in 9th grade when they ask you if you want to go to trade school and her friend (who’s mom was a beautician) she said she YES! Some of her best memories were then made-- like getting 3rd place in state for Nails her Senior Year! She started doing hair with her license before she even graduated with her cosmetology degree from technical school and began working at Supercuts her summer before college then all 4 years through school!

    WORDS OF WISDOM:
    💗 having a license opens so many doors; you always have a job
    💗 there is always money to be made in the industry
    💗 there are so many avenues to exlpore
    💗 it’s up to you to gain experience and suround yourself with the right people

  • When Quinn was a teen growing up in LA, she tagged along to all her boyfriends mom’s hair appointments always asking the owner, Lorenzo questions (which he loved answering). Then, she volunteered to work at Lorenzo’s salon + became his assistant for 2 years after that before graduating + going to work at various tiny salons as a commission stylist + eventually inheriting a celebrity clientele from her mentor (and now best friend). But it wasn’t always always glamourous doing hair in LA… before she was on Hollywood sets, going to Pamela Anderson’s house or doing hair for a season on a reality show for a new salon opening ---she would do hair all day, bartend all night + blowdry hair at 6am for Glam Squad.

    Recruited by a salon in Washington state she left LA (where she said the dating scene is horrible) and moved to Seattle where she would meet her Canadian husband at a music festival and pursue a 1.5 year long distance relationship before getting married and moving to Edmonton, AB! After passing her exams to become licensed in Canada and rebuilding her clientele she realized ‘’being 30 and working for people sucked’’ + went out on her own…. the next month the world shut down. Upon the 2nd lock down she started renovating a new and bigger space and re-opened in March 2021.

    Quenntessential Salon is now one of the  2022 ‘’Top 18’’ Best Hair Salons in Edmonton!

    You’ll find Quinn behind the chair 6 days a week…but, she always has a vacation planned — she likes to work hard and play hard!

    Two days a week she leaves ‘’early’’ for tennis tennis + beach volleyball and saturdays she only takes 2 clients.

    PRO TIPS:
    #1 | key to being good at haircolor is not knowing only 1 color line; you’ll learn new things from every line
    #2 | Brush up when you balayge 
    #3 | work for free to get experience when you’re in school

    FAVE TOOLS:
    Blow Dryer: GHD + Rusk Speed Freak (it's light, cheap + lasts)
    Flat Iron: GHD (for curls + waves too)

    FAVE PRODUCTS:
    Color: Nook
    Lightener: Nook Blue Bleaching Cream
    Styling Products: Starlight Blonde Serum + Onesta blowdry cream (cocktail before every blow dry)
    Icy Toner Formula: Nook .11 series is amazing and sometimes sliver additive or pinch of blue to get rid of orange

    WORDS OF WISDOM:
    💗 work really really hard when you're dedicated you can make anything happen

    CURRENT OBSESSION: MY SALON!!!

  • Former FT stylist, turned Business Coach for Stylist, Kim Kennedy is OBSESSED with HAIR + BUSINESS (when she’s not listening to True Crime podcasts). She always envisioned teaching to be something she would do at the end of her career but when her coaching business took off it was ‘’scary fufilling’’!

    Kim, a mom to a 2 + 7 year old, is an 18-Year Stylist and now helps other stylists create a successful career behind the chair that doesn’t take over their life. She shares all the things she wished she knew and learned from hitting ''rock bottom'’ burnout. She got resourceful and it paid off! Now, she teaches other moms to share their purpose and gifts and do what they love.

    Always a booth renter, Kim sttruggled first 8-10 years in her career and worked 2 jobs to pay bills; last 10 years worked at amazing salon. When she had a baby she didn’t want to have a gap in her day sitting at the salon when she could have another client or be home with her baby. After realizing she had been ''emotionally discounting'' (not charging) $1000 in services per month, things changed when she treated it like biz. She new she couldn’t go back to work part-time without the right systems in place. As a new mom working 3 days a week she doubled her previous full-time income! Now, her ''Next Level Stylist Academy'' changes the trajectory of stylist lives + their children!

    #2 | Once you have clients you have to keep them

    #5 | Watch videos all the time

    FAVE TOOLS
    Color: Pravana + Redken Shades EQ
    Babyliss clippers + blow dryers
    Lightner: Schwarzkopf BLONDEME
    Extensions: Hair Compounds

    WORDS OF WISDOM
    💗 Align your vision + life around what you want

    💗 Branding is a feeling + a vibe that you get and starts the moment a client hears about you
    💗 Whatever is on your heart + you’re dreaming abourt is on your heart for a reason

  • "When I went to beauty school it completely changed my life!’’ says Nichole Farine, Owner of NC Hair Studio, Etna, PA. As a teen mom with a GED + a milllion jobs before starting beauty school she was looking into nursing school, hated it. Fascinated by haircutting she realized "I don’t want to deal with you when you’r sick I to want to deal with you when you’re happy/healthy + want to feel beautiful.’’ So, in 2010 at 22 she went to beauty school + never looked back!

    Nichole believes we are all divinely guided + every single person on this earth has a purpose… 1 year later she opened her business where she now specializes in French Cutting + Balayage. She says Balayage is 100% different from what you’ve been taught for blonding or foiling. From the way you mix, stand, tools you use clay lightener is different! After taking a class at a hair show and applying (and being accepted), she became a Sunlights Balage Educator!

    As a hands-on Balyage educator, in 2020 her wheels got spinning…. ‘'How can I deliver my education anywhere in the world?’’ and close the gap between a hands on clas and a ref refresher class at home where students can practice at their own pace. Education every single day at your fingertips  and inspiring more people was her goal and ‘’The French Stylist Academy’’ was conceived.

    ''No 2 stylists will ever paint alike because our visions are different’’says Nicole who’s mission is to get more people creative and stand in their own artistic vision using hand painted Balayage. From starting out to knowing nothing about Balayage to standing out on social media as a Balayage expert, Nichole teaches hands on Balyage along with the basics (of balayage and high-lights, low-lights, shading, melting) + put everything she knows into her 6 week live course with access for life.

    PRO TIPS:
    #1 | Pick a niche to build your confidence + expertise
    #2 | As an artist behind the chair you’re going to evolve 
    #3 | With social media you can reach anyone today
    #4 | Balayage lets you work fast + efficient; clients don’t want to sit for 5 hrs!
    #5 | Being a successful hair stylist doesn’t mean the number of years behind the chair, but it means your confidence level, how much education your willing to invest in yourself, that’s what’s going to set you apart + have you charge your worth.

    FAVE TOOLS:
    7.5" french cutting shears
    Color: Matrix
    Lightner: Sunlights
    Styling: Living Proof; Crew

    WORDS OF WISDOM:
    💗 Follow your heart when you have something pulling + calling at you, go all in and you’ll find success
    💗 Just because you’re not going to college doesn’t mean you can’t make money.
    💗 Do what yoou feel is right in your heart and it all works out.
    💗 You will always be lead to yoour right journey
    💗 God will place you where yoou need to be and place you where youo can serve people on a higher level
    💗 Keep your mind open for opportunities
    💗 I only do something if it’s a strong yes! If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no
    💗 If you don’t love this job, you’re not going to last
    💗 If you love what you do you’re going to be good at it; if you’re good at it the money will come
    💗 If something didn’t happen, it’s because there is a better plan

  • When I popped into Alizabeth’s Salon, Hair with a Purpose in Lewisburg PA, I was so pleased to see a play mat on the floor and her babe on her lap… THIS IS WHY I RECORD THIS PODCAST! I want moms to know about this amazing industry that is perfect for being a working mom! She says lots of extra help friends + family make it possible. And she’s even been able to go as far a Jamaica for a destination wedding!

    Her love for hair began her senior year of high school b/c her junior year she had enough credits to graduate so her guidance counselor suggested Sun Tech her Sr. year. She only wanted to do hair to get job doing hair while being in college to be a therapist then realized this was where she needed to be! 13 years later she now has her own salon with 2 stylists! Her first job was for 3.5 years at smart style at Walmart which she says it’s great b/c people go for household items and think ‘’let me get a hair cut while I’m here’’ they’re not looking for perfection.

    When she named her salon she wanted a meaning with the name saying because ''it’s not just about their hair’’ she wants to meet their internal needs too. She says’'if I can like just bring a little bit of sunshine to someone's day just from you know doing their hair like that's like such a that's a big deal to me.’’ The name was solidified when she shared her idea with a client who began tearing up + said  ''I’ve been searching for such a long time what my purpose in the world is!’’ Alizabeth's mission to leave a positive impact on people and be a positive influence in their lives — is evident as she inspired one client to lose over 100lbs!

    PRO TIPS:
    #1 | Start at Smart Style + hone your craft (Because if you're going to Walmart to get your  haircut you don’t care about quality)
    #2 | Wand for brides can get through hair faster
    #3 | the consultation is everything; you have to hear what you’re clients aren’t saying
    #4 | For stacked bobs always pull hair back and to middle
    #5 | if you’re not passionate about people don’t do hair
    #6 | Network

    FAVE PRODUCTS:
    Color: was Matrix now Framesi 
    WORKING SPRAY 14 by Kenra
    ULTRA FREEZE SPRAY 30 by Kenra when you don’t want it to move
    STYLE FREESTYLE SPRAY by Keune is flexible + finishing

    Styling treatment Oil by Paul Mitchell light weight for shine, heat protection + volume.

    CHI 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray: for blow drying because like literally one spritz of that and someone's hair is like more than enough. A little bit goes a long way.

    WORDS OF WISDOM:
    💗 People don’t HAVE to sit in your chair, they chose you!
    💗 Speak things into existence ie) picture your book and say visualize ''This is going to fill up today’’
    💗 Take a hard look at your life + where you're at before you open a salon

  • On her 25th bday, Carolyn Keizl signed her lease (in the midst of the pandemic) and opened her gorgeous salon, The Hideaway Haverhill in the basement of her local gym in Haverhill, MA!

    About 6 years ago, in the beginning of her career, Carolyn was fortunate to find a NYC master stylist who moved ''back home'' to whom she assisted/apprenticed and learned everything from very classy to very edgy looks! When she hit the floor she felt it was time to find a new salon to grow at. Finding a new salon owned by 2 women who were not stylists, they filled her book and built a team of 7 stylists working 7 days a week! She enjoyed working there until she was ready to open her own salon... the very day she was going to announce leaving, the manager did too, unfortunately this didn't make for a peaceful exit.

    If you're in NE MA and looking for a new salon to call home, Carolyn is looking for booth renters!
    www.thehideawayhaverhill.com/join-the-team

    PRO TIPS:
    #1 | never use just 1 color; spice it up
    #2 | dirty wash- massage all the color in the sink before you rinse
    #3 | reduce prices so they come more often ie) $135 every 4 weeks for root color, face-framing foil, toner, wash + blow-dry
    #4 | charge hourly for soothing services (2hrs $199 + $50 per half hour extra)
    #5 | get a good blow-dry + round brush good

    FAVE TOOLS:
    Color: milkshake professional
    Toner: Redken Shades EQ
    1’’ flat iron
    3/4’’ curling iron (more look of 1’’ barrel in hair that doesn’t curl)

    WORDS OF WISDOM:
    💗 this career is a marathon not a sprint
    💗 you have to think of the long game so you don’t have constant turn over in your chair
    💗 approach your business as thinking as the customer (not the biz owner) + treat them as a human not just a number on a spreadsheet
    💗 don’t try to push anything; let life lead you in the direction it wants to go
    💗 ask yourself ''What’s fuflilling me now?''

  • Growing up Sarah's mom didn’t know how to manage wildly curly hair she got nicknamed Medusa in 4th grade by 5th grade neighbor. Sarah only went to beauty school as a back up plan to bartending + needing to learn how to do her own hair!

    Opening her own salon (a 14 mo. process) proceeded by a fire at her bar tending job wasn't the most ideal situation. She kept the salon open for 3.5 years before closing in 2017. In 2018, she finished Barber school and booth rented in downtown Savannah, GA for 3.5 years. Now, she is thrilled to be a Suite owner because ''If I’m not making money I’m the only one responsible for not making money! My clients feel more comfortable in 1:1 environment.''

    #2 | Research what’s in your water + products
    #3 | Water filter for shower head

    #5 | If you don’t feel comfortable doing somebody’s hair, don’t do someone’s hair
    #6 | Shave in direction hair grows

  • I got fired twice this year. COOL. Now that means there is something else for me!

    Sometimes you have to try things and put the energy towards it to find out that it’s not a fit that propels you toward the thing that is!

    Sarah Kelly raved about working at Ulta in ep. 39, which inspired me to apply and I got an interview!

  • .‘'Vintage hair is great for all hair textures... bring roller sets back they last so much longer than a blow out’’ says Sarah suite owner of Bad Gouls in San Diego where she creates private 1:1 experiences for her clients. Aside for her obsession with Vinatage hair she is also a Vivid artist known for rainbow hair!

    Sarah was a self-proclaimed "weird kid’’ into 40s + 50s movies and could be heard saying to her friends ‘’come here you’re going to look like Lucielle ball’’. In beauty school she wanted to do film/tv vintage hair but in school realized how much fun color is from Vivid to natural!

    Prior to doing hair Sarah served 12 years in the Navy, thank you for your Service!!!! Now, she give’s back to her local community through Punks for Change and Sidewalk Project!

    HAIR HISTORY:
    3 years professionally doing hair after attended school in San Diego then started as an assistant/commission, then worked at Ulta for a year (and during pandemic). It was such a good experience she wished she went straight there.!! They give you biz cards and she wrote her IG on back of every card and handed card to people in store!

    PRO TIPS:
    1 // have a specific niche ie/ Vintage Hair
    not everyone wants vintage hair but everyone who wants vintage hair will come to you!

    2 // experiment with different color/product lines

    3 // have mentors based on what you need

    4 // never stop your education always take a class on something

    5 // reach out to artist you admire on IG… ‘’Hey what was your color formula? What color line do you use?’'

    6 // bug your educators in school ie. ‘’Show me this, show me that... how’d you _____?...

    show me how to cut a pompadour ''

    MARKETING ADVICE:
    ''I love punk rock and dropped my cards off at record store in the city!''

    FAVE TOOLS:

    Gloss Genius
    Amika hair spray: is the only one that doesn’t flake or get crunchy it’s brushable + smells good

    FAVE EDUCATOR:
    Sam vila educator Andrew Carruthers

  • ''The only thing I had was experience when I opened!'' Sunny, a mom of 4, works 6-days behind the chair at her Day Spa in Mechanicsburg, PA! She says ''Most salons shut down at 3yrs and I can see why!!!! I had to work a 2nd job (from 8pm - 8am) to pay my payroll''. Her first 3 years she didn't make a penny, but she knew anything she set her mind to she could do!

    But, let's rewind... when she opened her first salon, she didn't have a cosmetology license... her friend did and after spending 8 years running the business end of a salon she knew she HAD to go to get her license and went to school when she was 32! Where, she now returns once a year to  teach a class (typically on cutting) at Empire Beauty School in York, PA!

    As the self-proclaimed black sheep of her family. Sunny can't imagine doing anything else! Her 14 year old daughter, a self-taught artist loves hair and MU too looks like the so it looks like this black sheep has begun a new family legacy!

    PRO TIP:
    Know how to do everything!! Train yourself first before others (even if not doing service).

    Words of Wisdom: Be prepared, you are going to work 50-60-70 hrs a week!

    Obsessed with: ''The way the service is in here. I know it needs to be top notch. I am very particular about the way the clients are treated, they have to leave here and feel special! I get so picky hiring people!''

    Color: Framasi (switched from Wella)
    Lighter: Wella Blondor
    Products: Framasi + Loma (certified organic)
    Fave products: purple shampoo (don’t even need toner)
    Straightner: Paul Mitchell Neuro
    straighten anyone’s hair in 5min anyone I use it on they want it (and I have 7 straighteners)
    Dryer: Babyliss Portifino (forever!!!!)

  • Stacy Monroe was Pregnant at 16; graduating Continuation High School at 17 w/ a cosmetology license; moved out 4 weeks later. Now, she's celebrating 28 years owning Stacy Monroe's Salon in the San Franscico Bay Area + best-selling author! She has 3 daughters and 6 grandchildren; her family + salon are her life! Rewind to 1982.... her first boss taught her solid foundation how to become a successful stylist + she's on a mission to pay it forward + teach others to not work so much! She operates a hybrid salon: get them out of beauty school, put on commission then rent! And guess what? One of those stylists from that salon in 1982 works there!

    What inspired her to start her own salon: www.stacymonroes.com where she is still BTC? To listen to her own music! She's grown from a 1700 sq ft 5-chair to 9-chair to 18-chair to 5000 sq ft 20-chair + 6 treatment rooms + 3 manicuist/pedicurist, at peak! She says it's not much more to have a bigger space but the money you make in your space is 4x the amount!

    PRO TIP #1: You HAVE to be in the right location or you’ll struggle; be in an area people can see you
    PRO TIP #2: be picky about who you hire; don’t keep wrong people for too long that’s the worse thing you can do
    PRO TIP #3: Vigaro | scheduling + marketing (text reminds clients)
    PRO TIP #4: Write down 3 things from each client so you can remember something about them + send thank you note in mail with 10% off
    PRO TIP #5: Ask before blow out: ''How do you want your hair to look when I’m done?.... Great! I’m going to use these products based on what you want, this way when you go home you can use them when you go home and do the same!''
