In this episode, we tackled a crucial, though not so glamorous, topic: Salon Safety. Over my 10 years as a salon owner and hairstylist, I've had to call 911 a few times, and I recently faced another situation that made me realize how important it is to discuss salon safety openly.I shared my experiences and some valuable insights. Locking the door after dark, having a panic button, and trusting your instincts are simple yet effective safety measures. But what's most important is swift, non-confrontational action in uncomfortable situations.I've learned that documentation and involving professionals, like 911, are essential when you spot patterns of erratic behavior in clients. Handling unhappy clients with professionalism, de-escalation, and minimal engagement is key.Remember, trust your gut, prioritize your safety, and call the professionals when necessary. We're hairstylists, not police officers. Safety first, always.Download my FREE workbook Pricing Formula for LIVINGJoin the community on InstagramGet on t

In this episode, I dive into the powerful question, "Who am I to...?" It's all about questioning the limitations we place on ourselves in our businesses and lives. As hairstylists, we often struggle with feelings of unworthiness, which have deep roots in our industry's history.

However, it doesn't have to be this way. We can break free from these patterns by understanding our worth and building our internal strength. It's about realizing that we are responsible for our own lives and that making changes, like raising our prices or enforcing policies, is a sign of growth, not something to fear.Ultimately, it's a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, learning to honor ourselves and live life on our own terms. So, ask yourself, "Who am I to limit what I can

I tell you about the awesome changes that happened when I embraced the idea that money could enable me to prioritize what truly matters: meaningful connections, heart-led projects, and cherished experiences with my daughter.
