    The Story Strategy You’re Skipping

    Grab your spot in Cyd's Booked on Repeat: The hairdressers guide to IG stories class https://www.destroythehairdresser.com/offers/F63haZi5/checkout Cyd and David turn a chaotic Miami flight (two kids, two blowouts, one traumatized spouse) into a masterclass on Instagram Stories as the real engine of modern salon marketing. They unpack how branding is “friendly brainwashing,” why Stories outperform feeds for conversions, and how to turn everyday life into narrative arcs that book clients and sell classes—fast. You’ll learn the difference between feed (discovery) and Stories (nurture + conversion), how to structure Story sequences with purpose, and why showing up imperfectly beats perfectly curated posts every time. Cyd announces her live class, Booked on Repeat: The Hairdresser’s Guide to IG Stories, and shares practical prompts you can swipe today to turn taps into appointments.Need salon business support? Book a free coaching call https://www.destroythehairdresser.com

    The Truth About “Industry Pricing”

    In this solo episode, Cyd takes a flamethrower to pricing confusion and breaks down the three models most stylists use—à la carte, session pricing, and hourly—without the fluff or guilt. She lays out clear pros and cons for each, then makes the simple, disruptive case: everything you sell is already time-based. If a cut takes 45 minutes and a blonding takes three hours, the price is always tied to time—whether you package it, rename it, or hide it under “starting at.” Cyd tackles the real barrier to hourly (it’s not the math—it’s saying your rate out loud), and gives exact scripts for explaining hourly to clients (“I charge for my time so you’re never upsold”), teams (“we don’t sell haircuts—we sell time”), and your socials/website (“book the time you need—if you’re not sure, I’ll guide you”). If you’re sick of defending add-ons, confused by sessions, or nervous to claim your rate, this is the clean, transparent framework you’ve been looking for.

    Stop Defending Brands That Wouldn’t Defend You

Spoiler: if you’re stocking shelves and selling out just to buy back in… that’s not a partnership—it’s a hustle.This episode is a reality check for anyone still clinging to outdated retail relationships and calling it loyalty. If you’re ready to make money on your terms, set boundaries with brands, and stop cosplaying as a beauty distributor—this one’s for you.
