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

Something interesting keeps coming up when I talk to salon owners about hiring. Half of them are telling me the quality of applicants has dropped, people aren't as driven, and it's harder than it's ever been to find great new talent. The other half a... more
This episode is different from anything I've shared on salon marketing before, and that's intentional. The foundation of what I'm about to share isn't based on gut feelings or personal opinion. I analyzed the social media activity of salons I know fo... more
Last week we talked about why the systems still running most employee-based salons today are quietly failing, and how that failure is landing on owners as a people problem when it's really a structure problem. This week, we're getting into the actual... more
A few weeks ago, my team posted something on Instagram that we could not have predicted would take off the way it did. The graphic said uncapped commissions will be the salon standard within three years, and the response was unlike anything we've see... more

2x & 3x X Club member, Thriver and long time pod listener here. I have a newish salon (opened in 2024) with one w2 employee. In my state assistants can’t touch a client until they pass their boards which are only written now. There is no practical! She started as an assistant while in school and has been on the floor since April. We have quarterly one on one model coaching and I’m obviously in salon with her day to day to help with formulating etc. She’s a good apple and I really lucked out with... more
I have been on my own booth renting since I’ve been out of school. I have built up a pretty good base clientele with still some gaps in my schedule and have a rough monthly demand of 7-10 new clients a month. I was just curious as to your perspective on how much location matters when opening a new salon? I have the opportunity in a couple of years to build and open a salon of my own and just want to know when I will know if I’m ready.
In terms of location I am currently in a town of about 3,0... more
I just listened to the new changes on Google podcast. I have over 30 reviews and I never asked for any of them. Not one! They are all completely organic and unsolicited. And still, Google has filtered several out. There is no winning with technology. It feels like a game I’m not interested in playing.
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
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?
