The Grace Edit

Grace Beauty

Beauty is an industry, an art form, and a lifestyle and The Grace Edit explores all of it. Hosted by Grace Beauty, a family-run beauty wholesale company based in New Zealand, The Grace Edit is the podcast built for the people behind the beauty industry. We distribute a carefully curated collection of boutique beauty brands from around the world, spanning professional skincare, gel nails, self-tanning, eye makeup, lash and brow, gut health, and wellness and we've spent years working hand-in-hand with salons, clinics, spas, beauty professionals and retail partners across New Zealand to help them grow. This podcast is an extension of that mission. Whether you're a salon owner looking to scale, a beauty therapist building your career, a clinic director navigating the business side of beauty, or a distributor wanting a deeper understanding of the brands you work with, The Grace Edit is for you. In each episode, we bring you honest education, expert guest conversations, real business support, product deep dives, and the kind of human-to-human insight you don't get from a brochure or a brand deck. We believe the beauty industry grows when the people in it are supported, informed, and connected. From technique and training to pricing, marketing, mindset, and the stories behind the world's most exciting boutique beauty brands, this is beauty, wholesale, and everything in between.

    The Business of Beauty: Coaching, Community & the Mindset Shifts Every Salon Owner Needs | Emma Foley, Frog Coaching

    What does it really take to build a sustainable beauty business, not just a full appointment book? In this episode of The Grace Edit, we sit down with Emma Foley from Frog Coaching to unpack the real challenges facing beauty professionals today, from the unique pressures of being a sole operator to the mindset shifts that separate thriving salons from struggling ones. Emma brings a coaching lens to some of the most talked-about and least addressed topics in the industry: why community and peer support are non-negotiable for long-term success, how to manage and lead a beauty team without burning out, and why understanding personality profiles can transform both your client relationships and your internal culture. We also dig into the value of human connection in an increasingly digital industry, what it means to adopt a genuine growth mindset as a beauty business owner, and why exceptional client care isn't just good service, it's your strongest competitive advantage. Whether you're a solo therapist working from a home salon, a clinic director managing a team, or a salon owner somewhere in between, this conversation will challenge how you think about your business, your people, and your own potential. In this episode: The unique challenges faced by sole operators in the beauty industryWhy community and support networks matter more than most people admitManaging teams in beauty — what works and what doesn'tUsing personality profiles to improve communication and cultureThe role of human connection in a service-based businessEmbracing a growth mindset as a beauty professionalWhy client care is your greatest business strategyConnect with Emma Foley: https://www.frogcoaching.com/ Follow Grace Beauty: Instagram @grace_beautyltd | gracebeauty.co.nz Listen on: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube
