Beyond Great!

I love this podcast! I’ve been in biz almost 8 years. I found Beyond the Technique probably 6 years ago. This review is long over due! Katie has helped shape so much of what I’ve learned about how to run a successful salon. It’s a regular in my podcast rotation and I’m thankful for every episode I’ve heard! Especially when she sings a few notes! -Jennifer @ Gamine Beauty

So Many Actionable Ideas

I have been listening to Beyond the Technique for years and love what this show offers!! Katie is always having relevant conversations about where the beauty industry is right in the moment and what we need to be thinking of to prepare for the future. Not only does she present the topic, but she gives actionable steps to take. I love the broad range of topics and look forward to listening every week!
