Stylists: How to Cope with Burnout and Stress
08/14/23 • 20 min
In the beauty industry, we love to throw around the term work-life balance without really giving any direction on how to achieve it. For me, one of the biggest ways to cope with burnout and stress as a stylist is to have a solid schedule and stick to it!
When that client who always forgets to prebook calls and begs you to let her come in, stick to your schedule. When the client who just wants one more service and it’s going to run you an hour late, stick to your schedule. When you get a walk-in 30 minutes before closing, stick to your schedule. You can’t pour from an empty cup, so set boundaries and stick to them.
This week is all about identifying the patterns in our lives as barbers and hairdressers that cause burnout and how to reclaim our time and worth as professionals.

Stylist: Is it Time to Raise Your Prices?
I think raising your prices in the beauty industry can be one of the most intimidating things you will ever do as a stylist. It’s so unbelievably easy to live in our comfort zone - and the crazy part is - you probably don’t even realize you’re doing it!
For most stylists, your comfort zone is having a full book with no availability for new clients and doing the same services day after day. Which on the surface sounds great, right? But look at it from another angle - if you have no availability - you have no room for growth - you have no room to develop as a stylist and try new techniques, meet new clients, and become the professional you’re meant to be. Make room in your life for great things to happen and great things will happen.

Is the Front Desk Dead?
I think there are some really big misconceptions on what the front desk at a salon actually does and in the past couple of years, I’ve heard a lot of talk from stylists and salon owners that the front desk is dead. This isn’t about checking guests in and out and scheduling appointments, a proper salon coordinator is knowledgeable about products, services and is actively working to be the liaison between stylists and guests.
You never have a second chance to make a first impression, and for any salon that’s letting an iPad make their first impression, I think you should reconsider.
