    The Mistake Stylists Make When They Start Hiring

    Many stylists mistakenly believe that scaling a team means scaling their business. As a result, they find themselves overworked, underpaid, and feeling stuck in the same business challenges they had at $50k. Instead, you need to take the reins as a creative CEO, a leader who remains the primary decision-maker while strategically building support around you.  In part two of our Multi Six-Figure Stylist Series on The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, I’m breaking down why outsourcing execution is not the same as outsourcing responsibility. I’ll discuss how failing to define your own standards, vision, and success metrics can create more chaos and how to course-correct by reclaiming your role as the ultimate driver of your business. 1:46 – Why hiring help too early (or ineffectively) after hitting six figures can harm more than help you 3:29 – How six-figure stylists can fall into the trap of outsourcing responsibility 5:45 – Why simply hiring help won’t move your business forward 8:52 – Why the expensive trap in hiring people isn’t the money spent acquiring them 12:23 – What you’re really doing when you hire support for your styling business 13:54 – The dividing line between running a successful business and it running you 15:48 – You are the decider in your business, no matter how much you make Mentioned In The Mistake Stylists Make When They Start Hiring Creative CEO Coaching Follow Nicole on Instagram Leave a rating and review

    Why Six Figures Still Feels Like Survival Mode

    An identity crisis often arises when hustle meets success for established stylists. Despite hitting that magical six-figure revenue milestone, you feel disillusioned, burned out, or stuck. It’s like you’re still in business survival mode, just focused on getting the next client. But now you’re ready to lay the foundation for your business’s evolution. Whether you’re chasing your next revenue goal or stuck in old patterns that have plateaued your profits, this four-part Multi Six-Figure Stylist Series is your call to upgrade and build the styling business you actually want. In this premiere episode of the series on The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, I’m revealing the truth behind why reaching $100,000+ in revenue rarely feels like how you imagined it would. I’ll discuss why business owners at this stage often feel more exhausted, unclear, and unsupported than ever, and what it takes to pivot from stylist-for-hire to creative CEO. 1:23 – How hitting six figures doesn’t guarantee clarity, peace, or freedom 6:18 – The high cost of chaos at higher income levels 7:33 – A widespread occurrence with financial milestones to avoid 9:59 – The key internal shift needed to step into a creative CEO mindset 15:43 – The importance of understanding your business to hire support effectively 19:15 – Why you need to upgrade your marketing and positioning at this level 23:15 – Why you shouldn’t wait to upgrade your identity, systems, and marketing Mentioned In Why Six Figures Still Feels Like Survival Mode  How Shame and Pride Keep Stylists From Creating True Client Transformation How to Think Like a Thought Leader, Not a Personal Stylist Creative CEO Coaching Follow Nicole on Instagram Leave a rating and review

  3. Why Adding Offers When Your Styling Business Feels Slow Is a Mistake

    Why Adding Offers When Your Styling Business Feels Slow Is a Mistake

    When you don’t have new clients lined up, it’s tempting to whip up a brand-new offer, slash the price, and call it a solution. It gives you a quick dopamine hit, but it’s panic mode, not strategy. And that cycle of tweaking and adding services is one of the fastest ways to burn out your styling business. Every new offer isn’t just the service itself. It comes with hidden jobs: packaging it, building systems to deliver it, and marketing it well enough to sell. That extra work stacks on top of what you already have, leaving you scattered, confusing your audience, and exhausting yourself before you ever see consistent results. In this episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, I’m sharing why “offer hopping” keeps stylists stuck and the three legitimate reasons you might actually add something new. You’ll walk away knowing the difference between an offer that strengthens your business and one that only distracts you from the momentum you’re trying to build. 3:55 – Why simply copying other stylists’ service menu never works 5:57 – Three invisible jobs you commit to with each service you create 8:24 – Why client droughts aren’t a signal to offer more services 10:06 – Three externally-driven reasons why stylists create new offers 14:40 – Three times it makes sense to add a new offer to your styling menu 19:25 – What to do when you feel the urge to copy another stylist’s service Mentioned In Why Adding Offers When Your Styling Business Feels Slow Is a Mistake Follow Nicole on Instagram Leave a rating and review

  4. Why Repeat Client Rates Matter in Your Styling Business

    Why Repeat Client Rates Matter in Your Styling Business

    You don’t find out if your styling business is healthy by looking at likes or followers. You find out by looking at your repeat client rate. That number tells you the truth about whether your business is built to last. When clients come back, it’s never just about the service they booked once. It proves that your marketing, your pricing, your offers, and your delivery are all working together. And when they don’t, that’s the clearest sign something is off. A healthy styling business should see 30–40% of clients rebooking season after season. Anything less, and you’ll always feel like you’re hustling for new clients. In this episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, I’ll show you why your repeat client rate is your business report card, how to use it to spot gaps, and the habits that quietly tank retention—from over-giving to chasing the wrong buyers. 2:32 – Why rebooking existing clients is easier and more profitable than chasing new ones 5:49 – What your repeat client rate actually reveals about the way your business is designed 9:50 – How to tell if your client experience is strong enough to make people want to return 12:04 – The connection between your marketing, positioning, and retention 15:39 – The trap of trying to sell to everyone instead of the right clients 17:10 – Why “more packages” on your menu doesn’t mean a better business 18:46 – How over-giving in your services drives clients away instead of bringing them back 22:05 – Using your repeat client rate as the ultimate business report card Mentioned In Why Repeat Client Rates Matter in Your Styling Business Income Accelerator Program Application How the Income Accelerator Program Can Elevate Your Styling Business Follow Nicole on Instagram Leave a rating and review

  5. Why Referrals and SEO Alone Are a Trap for Personal Stylists

    Why Referrals and SEO Alone Are a Trap for Personal Stylists

    Are you running a styling business built on referrals and SEO alone? Then you’re risking your livelihood in a constant game of Russian roulette. Many personal stylists (especially those with early success) fall into the trap of relying exclusively on referrals or search engine optimization for business growth. While it's certainly nice to have client recommendations and traffic from word-of-mouth and Google, this can leave your business and your income at the mercy of factors outside of your control. In this episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist podcast, I’ll highlight why, despite being able to get to six figures using this strategy, it often leads to inconsistent income, frustration, and exhaustion. I’ll show you what you need to do to truly succeed and feel in control of your styling business. 1:27 – Downsides of reaching six-figures with a referrals-only business model 5:13 – The root cause of my reliance on word-of-mouth and why it was a selfish act 7:19 – Why relying on referrals or SEO doesn’t guarantee you’ll gain the right clients 9:58 – Why your messaging still matters, even with strong word-of-mouth 12:26 – How the landscape of SEO is changing and what it means for your business 18:21 – Why you surrender control of your business by clinging to referrals and SEO 19:49 – The psychological toll of depending on referrals and search engine optimization 23:38 – How to start using marketing to attract and qualify ideal clients Mentioned In Why Referrals and SEO Alone Are a Trapfor  Personal Stylists Income Accelerator Program Application How the Income Accelerator Program Can Elevate Your Styling Business Follow Nicole on Instagram Leave a rating and review
