Cutting Through It |Systems for hairstylists to build a fully booked chair- Hair Stylist, Clientele, Income, Cosmetologist

Sherri Brodie | Hairstylist, Business Coach

Are you a hairstylist struggling with self-doubt, burnout, or wondering how to build a clientele that actually fills your chair? Do you wish you had more confidence in your haircutting skills, a clear plan to run your business behind the chair, and clients you truly enjoy working with? You’re not alone. I know exactly what that feels like, because I’ve lived it. I started young in this industry with no support, no confidence, and no roadmap for success. I’ve been broke, working on clients I didn’t love, and questioning whether I was even cut out for this career. I’ve had to rebuild my clientele and business numerous times throughout my career, and after owning a salon and building a thriving business for 27 years, I faced a major setback that forced me to start over. But each time, I rebuilt stronger and faster because I knew exactly what to do. Here’s the truth: with strong haircutting skills, a business foundation that works, healthy boundaries, and faith at the center, you can create a thriving, fully booked chair and a hairstylist career that lasts. That’s why I created Cutting Through It—a podcast for hairstylists who want to grow in confidence, sharpen their cutting and consultation skills, attract the right clients, and learn the business strategies that keep them successful for the long run. Each week you’ll hear tactical steps, faith-based encouragement, and wisdom from my 40+ years behind the chair. I’ll share the proven strategies that helped me rebuild my hairstylist business multiple times, so you don’t have to make the same mistakes I did. If you’re ready to cut through the fear, confusion, and burnout—and step into clarity, confidence, and a fully booked chair—this podcast is for you.

    Why Clients Don’t Rebook — The Consultation Mistakes Hairstylists Make

    Are your clients leaving happy… but not rebooking? Do you struggle with client retention — even when you know your haircutting skills are solid? Do you ever feel unsure how to communicate when a client asks for something that won’t work for their hair? This episode is for the hairstylist who wants more rebooks, stronger client loyalty, and more confidence behind the chair. Because most of the time, when clients don’t come back, it’s not about your technical skill. It’s about the consultation. In this episode, I break down the consultation mistakes hairstylists make that quietly cost them rebooks — and how to fix them. You’ll learn: Why clients don’t rebook (even when they say they love their hair) How to build trust during a hair consultation What questions to ask to create clarity and confidence How to handle inspiration photos professionally How strong client communication increases referrals If you’ve ever: Felt like clients don’t fully trust you Worried about complaints or second-guessing Struggled to confidently guide a client in a new direction Wondered how to grow your clientele consistently This episode will help you understand how a clear, structured consultation changes everything. When your client feels heard, understood, and guided — she relaxes. When you feel clear about the plan — you work with confidence. And when both of you feel secure? Rebooking becomes natural. If you want to improve client retention, grow your hairstyling business, and build a loyal clientele behind the chair, this episode will give you practical consultation strategies you can start using immediately.

    3 Tips to Build Loyal Clientele Without Burning Out as a Hair Stylist

    3 Tips to Build Loyal Clientele Without Burning Out as a Hair Stylist Feeling burnt out behind the chair doesn’t always mean you’re in the wrong career. More often, it means you’re tired, overwhelmed, and unsure of your direction. In this episode, I share a very real moment in my career when I felt so overwhelmed that I honestly questioned whether I was cut out for this industry long-term. On the outside, things looked fine—but internally, I felt scattered, confused, and worn down. What changed everything wasn’t doing more. It was getting clear. In this conversation, I walk you through three specific areas you need to get clear on if you want to build a strong foundation behind the chair—one that supports long-term success, confidence, and fulfillment. We talk about clarity before action, why structure brings confidence, and how stepping back can often move you forward faster than pushing harder. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why burnout is often a sign of confusion and misalignment, not failure A personal story of a season when I questioned my career and had to reset my direction Why filling your chair without clarity can lead to overwhelm and dissatisfaction The three areas that bring structure, confidence, and direction behind the chair How clarity changes the way you show up, take action, and make decisions Why building a business that lasts means more than just staying busy This episode isn’t about setting goals or adding more to your plate. It’s about slowing down long enough to make sure you’re headed in the right direction—and building a career that feels aligned, sustainable, and fulfilling. If you’re feeling burnt out, unsure, or just a little off behind the chair, my hope is that when you finish this episode, you’ll walk away with more clarity, confidence, and a clearer sense of where to go from here. Sometimes clarity is the thing that brings the peace back. Want Deeper Support?  Fill Your Chair Strategy Call (1:1 Coaching – 1 Hour) Feeling stuck, starting out, or rebuilding your clientele?

    Want Consistent Income? THIS Hidden Mistake is Hurting Your Hair Stylist Business

    Want Consistent Income? THIS Hidden Mistake is Hurting Your Hair Stylist Business I’ve seen incredibly talented hairstylists leave this industry—not because they weren’t good at hair, but because they were financially blindsided. I almost did too. In this episode, I’m talking about the financial mistakes I see hairstylists make over and over again—the same ones I made myself while I was busy working behind the chair, trusting the wrong systems, and not fully understanding my numbers. This conversation isn’t meant to scare you or shame you. It’s meant to protect you. Hairstylists are some of the most creative, service-driven, and generous people I know. But we’re often undereducated financially, trusting by nature, and so focused on working in our business that we don’t slow down to truly understand what’s happening behind the scenes. In this episode, I cover: Why so many talented hairstylists struggle financially despite working nonstop A personal story about trusting a CPA without fully understanding my finances—and the fallout that followed Why being “too busy” can quietly put your business at risk The difference between trusting someone and understanding your own numbers Why not all CPAs are the right fit for hairstylists What to look for in a CPA who understands commission, booth rent, write-offs, and variable income The importance of separating your money—and a simple way to do it Why having separate accounts for business, taxes, and savings creates peace instead of panic How financial clarity builds confidence, stability, and longevity behind the chair If you’ve made any of these mistakes, please hear this: you’re not bad with money, and you’re not failing. Most of us were never taught this part of the business. I made these mistakes too—and I learned the hard way that trust is good, but understanding is better. This episode is an invitation to slow down, take an honest look at where you are, and start building stability instead of just getting by. Before you move on to the next episode, I encourage you to reflect on a few questions: Do you actually know your numbers? Are you prepared for tax season? Are you building a business that feels stable—or just surviving month to month? You don’t have to become a financial expert to succeed in this industry—but you do need enough awareness to protect yourself and your future. Thanks for listening, and for being willing to have these important conversations behind the chair.   Ways to Work with Sherri  Fill Your Chair Strategy Call (1:1 Coaching – 1 Hour) Feeling stuck, starting out, or rebuilding your clientele?

    Why Raising Your Prices Feels Scary—and the 3 Things That Make It Easier for Hairstylists

    There was a season in my life when I was exhausted, underpaid, and just getting by behind the chair. I was raising my kids on my own, working nonstop, and doing my best to make it work—but deep down, I knew something wasn’t adding up. I wanted to raise my prices, but I didn’t feel confident enough to do it. My work didn’t yet reflect the value I wanted to charge, and I knew I couldn’t skip that step. In this episode, I share the turning point that changed everything. This isn’t a story about overnight success or quick fixes. It’s an honest look at what it really took for me to go from barely getting by to building a fully booked chair—and why that shift had far more to do with decisions and discipline than luck. In this episode, you’ll hear: The moment that forced me to take a hard look at my career and my reality Why I knew raising my prices couldn’t come before raising my confidence and skill level The decision to invest in education, even when money was tight How consistent practice changed my work and how clients perceived me Why talking through what I learned with other stylists helped everything click What happened when I made myself available during the hours others avoided How one client confirmed I was finally on the right path—and everything shifted after that If you’re a hairstylist who feels like you’re doing good work but still struggling financially, this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’ve failed—it often means you’re standing right before a necessary shift. My hope is that this story helps you reflect on where you are, what needs to change, and what’s possible when you stop trying to push harder and start choosing differently. And if you’re ready for support—whether that’s building confidence in your cutting, strengthening consultations, or getting clearer on the business side of your chair—you’ll find resources and coaching options on my website whenever the time feels right.

    Struggling to Get Clients? 3 Ways hairstylists Can Build a Full Book and Financial Stability

    Struggling to Get Clients? 3 Ways hairstylists Can Build a Full Book and Financial Stability If marketing makes you uncomfortable… If you hate posting… If you feel awkward talking about yourself… Or if you’re doing “all the things” but your chair still isn’t growing… This episode is for you. In today’s conversation, I’m speaking directly to hairstylists who feel stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure what to do next to get clients in their chair — not just any clients, but clients they actually enjoy working with. After decades in this industry — rebuilding my business more than once — I want you to know this: 👉 Marketing doesn’t mean you’re salesy. 👉 Marketing doesn’t mean posting perfect photos. 👉 And marketing is not optional if you want a full, stable chair. What it does mean is learning how to show up with clarity, confidence, and connection — and that’s exactly what we talk about in this episode.  What You’ll Learn in This Episode 1️⃣ Education-Based Marketing (How to Stand Out Online Without Feeling Fake) Posting pretty pictures isn’t enough anymore. In this section, I teach you: Why teaching builds trust faster than selling How showing your knowledge helps clients feel confident before they book Simple ways to explain what you do so people understand your value When clients learn from you, they begin to trust you — and trust is what fills chairs. 2️⃣ In-Person Networking & Relationship Marketing Marketing doesn’t live only on your phone — it lives in the real world. We talk about: Why getting involved in your community matters How networking groups help you build real referral relationships Creating a simple “elevator message” so you don’t freeze when introducing yourself Why confidence grows through repetition, not perfection You don’t need to impress people — you just need to be clear about how you help. 3️⃣ Local Visibility & Creative Marketing Sometimes the best opportunities are right around you. In this part of the episode, I share: How to cross-promote with nearby businesses Creative ways to increase visibility in your local area Why exposure often comes before income How small efforts compound into long-term growth Building a clientele isn’t about doing everything — it’s about doing the right things consistently.  A Mindset Shift to Take with You You don’t grow your business by staying comfortable. You grow by doing the things that feel awkward until they don’t. Confidence doesn’t come before action — it comes after.

    Sick of Stressing About Money? What Hairstylists Should Fix Before Getting a Second Job

    Are you feeling stressed about money behind the chair? Wondering if you need a second job just to stay afloat? In this episode, I’m speaking directly to hairstylists who feel overwhelmed, discouraged, and unsure about how to move forward financially — even though they love this career. Here’s the truth: needing more money doesn’t mean you failed, chose the wrong career, or aren’t good at what you do. It means your chair business needs structure and leadership — and that’s something you can fix. In this episode, I share three proven things you can start doing today to: Take control of your chair Run your business with confidence Stop guessing and start building real financial stability These strategies come straight from my own career — lessons I learned the hard way after rebuilding my business multiple times. In this episode, we talk about: 1. Knowing Your Numbers You can’t grow what you don’t track. I walk you through why understanding your monthly, weekly, and daily income goals is the foundation of confidence — and how knowing your numbers helps you stop panicking and start planning. 2. Watching Client Patterns & Retention If clients aren’t returning, it’s not personal — it’s information. We talk about how to track who’s coming back, who’s not, and how to spot the gaps in your marketing, communication, or experience so you can fix what’s actually holding you back. 3. Showing Up as the CEO of Your Chair Your chair is a business — whether you rent, commission, or work in a suite. I share what it really means to show up professionally, lead your appointments with confidence, and create trust that leads to rebooking, referrals, and consistent income. This episode is about stopping survival mode and learning how to run your chair with intention, clarity, and confidence — so you can build the financial freedom you’re craving without burning yourself out or giving up on this career. Take Action After Listening Write down your monthly income goal Break it into weekly and daily numbers Look at your books and ask: Where are the gaps? Choose one thing from this episode to implement this week You don’t need a second job. You need clarity, structure, and confidence behind the chair.  Final Thought Your chair is a business — and when you learn how to run it with intention, everything changes. If this episode helped you, I’d love for you to leave a review and share it with another stylist who might be struggling right now. You are capable of more than you think — and you don’t have to figure this out alone.   Want Deeper Support?

    How Hairstylists Can Reset Their Mindset Before the New Year Begins

    As the year comes to a close, many hairstylists feel tired, overwhelmed, or mentally cluttered—unsure how to step into the new year without carrying the weight of the old one. In this episode, “How Hairstylists Can Reset Their Mindset Before the New Year Begins,” I invite you to slow down and take a quiet pause before the rush of resolutions, goals, and expectations begin. This is not about numbers, hustle, or doing more. It’s about reflection, release, and choosing how you want to feel moving forward. In this episode, we explore: ✨ Why the space between Christmas and New Year is powerful for reflection ✨ How to let go of burnout, fear, and self-doubt from the past year ✨ Three grounding questions that help you close emotional “open tabs” ✨ How to reset your mindset without pressure or overwhelm ✨ A simple ritual you can carry into the new year for clarity and balance If you’ve been feeling drained behind the chair, questioning yourself, or craving a calmer, more confident way to move forward, this episode will help you reset mentally and emotionally before the new year begins. Press play, take a breath, and give yourself permission to start the next season with clarity and peace. If you’ve ever left the salon feeling completely drained — not because of the hair you did, but because of the people you had to manage — this episode is for you. Today, we’re diving into one of the biggest reasons hairstylists feel overwhelmed, resentful, or ready to quit the industry: a lack of boundaries. Not talent. Not clients. Not the workload. ⁠But boundaries. As hairstylists, we’re natural people-pleasers… which means we often say yes when we’re exhausted, work on our days off, accept chronic lateness, and let client behavior slide because we’re scared to lose them. But the truth is: these habits are the fast track to burnout. In this episode, I’m breaking down: ✨ The real reason so many stylists feel overwhelmed behind the chair ✨ The 3 types of boundaries every hairstylist must set — Time boundaries — Client behavior boundaries — Emotional + personal boundaries ✨ Why enforcing boundaries actually improves client retention ✨ How people-pleasing creates silent resentment that hurts your confidence ✨ How faith, self-worth, and inner peace play a role in protecting your career ✨ The first small shifts you can make today to regain control, energy, and joy If you’re tired of feeling stretched thin, constantly giving, or walking on eggshells around clients — this episode will help you reconnect with your confidence and step back into your power. You deserve peace. You deserve respect. And you deserve a career that doesn’t burn you out. The book I mentioned in this episode is: Stop Walking on Eggshells by Paul T.

About

Are you a hairstylist struggling with self-doubt, burnout, or wondering how to build a clientele that actually fills your chair? Do you wish you had more confidence in your haircutting skills, a clear plan to run your business behind the chair, and clients you truly enjoy working with? You’re not alone. I know exactly what that feels like, because I’ve lived it. I started young in this industry with no support, no confidence, and no roadmap for success. I’ve been broke, working on clients I didn’t love, and questioning whether I was even cut out for this career. I’ve had to rebuild my clientele and business numerous times throughout my career, and after owning a salon and building a thriving business for 27 years, I faced a major setback that forced me to start over. But each time, I rebuilt stronger and faster because I knew exactly what to do. Here’s the truth: with strong haircutting skills, a business foundation that works, healthy boundaries, and faith at the center, you can create a thriving, fully booked chair and a hairstylist career that lasts. That’s why I created Cutting Through It—a podcast for hairstylists who want to grow in confidence, sharpen their cutting and consultation skills, attract the right clients, and learn the business strategies that keep them successful for the long run. Each week you’ll hear tactical steps, faith-based encouragement, and wisdom from my 40+ years behind the chair. I’ll share the proven strategies that helped me rebuild my hairstylist business multiple times, so you don’t have to make the same mistakes I did. If you’re ready to cut through the fear, confusion, and burnout—and step into clarity, confidence, and a fully booked chair—this podcast is for you.
