Every week, your host, Beauty Industry Expert and Salon Business Coach, Miki Wright, brings you some of the best and brightest Black Artists and Entrepreneurs in the Beauty Industry to offer a ‘masterclass’ and take you backstage into their world.

The Beauty Industry is one of the most exciting, lucrative and most recession proof in the world.

How do I balance a successful and demanding career behind the chair with a great family life? How can I become a Platform Artist or Educator? What is it really like to work Fashion Week? That's just a taste of what our experts share, each and every week, to help you excel in your own career!
Host, Miki Wright, warns, "Prepare to be inspired, educated and entertained." Grab a friend and listen in for a weekly dose of gems that will boost your confidence and help you take your hair, skin, nail or make-up career to the next level.
Miki Wright went from struggling Stylist to booked solid in months, not years. She then went on to own a salon where she trained her Stylists how to duplicate her success. Fabulous Finishes, her former Salon and Spa, was named one of the “200 Fastest Growing Salons in the Country” by Salon Today Magazine – for three consecutive years!!! Why not learn what it really takes to grow your Salon business from someone who’s been in your shoes?

Customer Reviews
A-mazing!
I am so blown away with the candid conversations, inspirational messages and applicable advice in all of your podcasts. I’ve been a natural hairstylist for over 20 years but have found myself having to return to the basics after this pandemic and have reconnected with why I got into this incredible field. Miki Wright helps you to get brilliant at the basics which is the pathway to true success. Thank you for inviting us backstage to meet your legendary guests. I literally felt like I was sitting at the feet of my elders with your interview of Mr. Dudley. He echoed my nana’s wisdom. I have binge listened, shared and will continue to do so. Keep up the great work!
