Jessica Kidner | Nail Tech, Beauty Business & Lifestyle Mentor

Do you dream of running your own beauty business, but wonder where your next clients will come from? Are you working long hours without seeing the profit to match? Do you feel like everyone else understands marketing except you? Have you thought about working from home, renting a room, or building a business around your family, but you're scared to make the leap? Or maybe you've already started, but you're overwhelmed by social media, pricing, attracting clients, and trying to figure out what actually moves your business forward. I know exactly how that feels. I built the busy salon. The team. The overheads. The fully booked diary. From the outside it looked successful. Behind the scenes I was exhausted. So I started again. This time I built a simpler business from home. One that worked around my family, gave me back my time, and still produced a full-time income working part-time hours. Now I help other women do the same. If you're ready to build a profitable beauty business that fits your life... If you want practical marketing strategies that attract local clients... Simple business systems that remove the daily overwhelm... Clear pricing, better profit, and a business that gives you more freedom instead of more stress... Then you're in the right place. Hey, I'm Jessica Kidner. I'm a beauty business mentor, educator, podcast host, and a mum of three. I've spent more than 20 years in the beauty industry, from building and selling a successful salon to creating a profitable home studio and mentoring beauty professionals to build businesses they actually enjoy running. Every week I'll share honest conversations, practical marketing ideas, simple business systems, mindset shifts, and the lessons I've learnt through real experience, not theory. Because I don't believe success is measured by how busy you are. I believe success is building a profitable beauty business that supports your life, your family, and your future. So grab a coffee while you do the school run, or setting up for your next client, and let's build your beauty business together. Jessica

    26 | Welcome to the New Beauty Business Made Easy

    Welcome to the Beauty Business Made Easy Podcast Exhausted by the pressure to “do it all” as a beauty professional, parent, and partner? Wondering if you really need a big salon and a huge team to succeed in the beauty industry? Dreaming of building a thriving business without sacrificing your family or sanity? Feel overwhelmed by the constant call to be a “boss babe” and chase the “success” the industry tells you to want? Wishing your beauty skills could actually create more freedom—not more stress? In this new chapter of the podcast, Jessica Kidner shares why she’s pivoted and what listeners can expect going forward. Drawing from her personal journey—from owning and selling a multiple six-figure salon to creating a peaceful life as a mother of three, Jessica challenges the myth that you need a big business and complicated strategy to have great income in the beauty industry. Instead, this podcast is all about bringing more balance, flexibility, and freedom to beauty professionals, whether you’re running a home studio or working in a small rented space. If you’re tired of being stretched thin or feeling like you’re serving everyone but yourself, this podcast will give you the permission slip and the practical framework to flip the script. Jessica dives into what it actually takes to build a profitable home business, and why scaling back can be the secret to a rich life—not just a rich bank account.  Jessica shares her journey from running a multiple six-figure salon to building a profitable, peaceful home studio, all while being a full-time mum and wife to a shift worker. If you’re searching for a sustainable way to earn great income without burning out or sacrificing family time, this episode is for you. The traditional “go big or go home” business advice is outdated and how beauty professionals can create freedom and flexibility with clear strategies, simple systems, and home-based studios. Tune in to hear how you can redefine success—and get practical support and encouragement along the way!   Resources and Links Mentioned  Sign up to the newsletter→   Podcast Insider Newsletter  Community →  Facebook group  Coaching → Book your session to get more personalised support with your own coaching call with Jessica   Resources → https://jessicakidner.myflodesk.com/fulltimeincome Pricing Toolkit →  https://beautyceohq.thrivecart.com/profitable-bundle/
