    The Impactful Next Step: Back After Two Years

    What does it really take to build a salon career that lasts? In this comeback episode, I share what’s been going on the past two years — including salon expansion, advanced education, and offering new hair loss solutions. I also open up about the lessons I’ve learned as a leader, why commission salons can be a powerful choice, and what we look for in assistants at Amie & Co. If you’re fresh out of hair school or searching for the right salon home, this episode will give you insight into what matters most.

    Converting a house into a hair salon 🏡

    We’re taking a detour from our regularly scheduled mindset & social media marketing chats to talk more about salon ownership. Many people think the only way to own a salon is to rent a storefront (which is great) but it’s not the only way! I’m breaking down the reasons that I decided to convert a house into a salon 9 years ago (and did it again for our new salon) and the steps that I took to get the ball rolling.

    The ENERGETICS of building more TIME, ABUNDANCE & Fulfillment in your life as a stylist

    That episode title… yes, please! The truth is, we can’t just wish away for these things. Sometimes we’re actually blocking these things and we don’t even know it. In this episode, I’m discussing some of the realizations that I’ve had around ways that I would keep myself stuck and what has worked for me to not stay stuck in the same patterns.

    Boundaries & the Beauty Business with Nina Kovner, founder of Passion Squared 🫶

    In this episode I have the pleasure of having one of my longtime mentors Nina Kovner of Passion Squared as my guest! This episode is all about boundaries…. I love this topic so much as I didn’t learn about setting healthy boundaries until I was well into my late 30’s and quite frankly didn’t even know what boundaries were! I do know that learning more about setting boundaries in my professional and personal life have helped me so much to minimize feelings of burn out, resentment, codependency, etc. What I’ve come to learn and why I love Nina and Passion Squared: doing the inside work matters and is equally as important as working on your technical skills as a stylist. 💯 There are so many great resources for you to check out from this episode!
