The beauty industry has changed dramatically in the last 10 years. The days of hoping your good reputation and referrals was enough to grow or maintain your clientele died out and successful stylists today need a real marketing strategy. It's actually never been easier to grow a clientele as a hair stylist or a business as a salon owner, yet stylists are giving up or struggling more often than the... more

  • Beauty schools

    This was an absolutely brilliant podcast, Britt. You really explained the situation comprehensively. I had seen something online about it and was curious and you filled in a lot of the blanks. I went to beauty school in the early 80s and it cost me $1200. Which would be equal to a little over $6000 today. Why did the prices go thru the roof? Is it adding student loans? They are for profit. I find it interesting that the changes will start happening in 2028 because whoever will be in power then w... more

  • Not even a hairstylist

    I’ve been listening to Thriving Stylist for 5 years now and I’m an esthetician/lash artist! I’ve gotten so much value over the years and it’s put me ahead of my peers in my area. But recently I’ve just come back from an almost 1 year maternity leave and am basically starting from scratch with only a few very loyal clients. My question is: after such a long hiatus, how can stylists make a fast comeback to thrive once again?

  • Britt is my favorite industry leader and business educator!

    Been listening for years and I love how you speak to the industry and have something for everyone in any position to learn. You are amazing and my biggest inspiration. Here’s my question!! As a salon owner for 11 years with a profitable business and team of over 30, we have a level system and career path with clear goals and a very established stylist training program that we have cycled 7 stylist thru in the last year. It’s been tremendous! Where I am struggling is I have a handful of stylists,... more

  • Love your podcast

    Love the data back information and research you provide. I think it could be cool if you did podcasts with salon owners and stylists as well that might bring in some fun perspectives or differing systems that also work, or don’t!!! We learn best from our mistakes and are always evolving. Love that you update and share that as well. I am beyond grateful for all you openly share.

  • Hairstylists selling Monat

    Hi Britt, I would love to hear your perspective on the many stylists I’ve seen lately signing up with the MLM Monat and then selling it to their clients. For context, I’m a licensed cosmetologist and although I haven’t been behind the chair in about 5 years, I’ve stayed involved in the industry. I view this topic from both a stylist and client perspective and it just kind of feels icky to me. I feel like every stylist I see making the switch then makes a ton of social media posts justifying why ... more
