04/29/22 • 24 min

You're tired. You're stressed. You need a break, but you don't know how to fit one in.

We all know that being a hairstylist is hard work. Between clients, color, cuts, and product education, your days are long and exhausting. Not to mention trying to stay on top of all of your everyday, life responsibilities.

We need to take the time to reset and recharge. Think about our businesses in a different way and strive to work smarter, not harder. Keep in mind, though that you may have to work harder at the beginning to give yourself the foundation to work smarter in the future.

In Episode 5 of the Chair-apist, I interview Ryan Weeden, the founder of Masters of Balayage and the creator of the MOB HERO Retreat. We chat about the importance of recharging and resetting in order to be our best selves. This episode is perfect for anyone feeling burned out or stuck in a rut and looking for some inspiration to jumpstart their creative juices. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

You're tired. You're stressed. You need a break, but you don't know how to fit one in.

Episode #3: Big Salon to Suite Salon

Working in a big salon can be great for business, but it also comes with a lot of restrictions.

You may be limited on the days and times you can work, or you might not have control over your schedule.

Moving to a suite salon could be the answer. Suite salons give you more flexibility over your schedule, so you can work when and how you want. Plus, suite salons are more private and give your clients a sense of intimacy.

In Episode 3 of The Chair-apist, I interview Wyatt, my education partner at Kevin Murphy. We discuss his move from a big salon to a suite salon and how it has benefitted his business. Wyatt shares his insights on why the move was beneficial for him and how it has helped him take control his business.

Episode #5: Live From Mexico with Corbett Barr

You've been told that in order to be successful online, you need to use all the different social media platforms. But what if you're just not good at using some of those platforms?

It's frustrating when you don't feel like you can be your true self on a platform because it's just not a good fit for you. It feels like you're pretending to be someone you're not and it's exhausting.

Use the platform or medium that is best suited for you. If that happens to be video, then do video. If podcasting is your thing, then do podcasting. Don't try to force yourself into using a platform just because "everyone else is doing it."

In this episode of The Chair-apist, I interview Corbett Barr, the co-founder of Fizzle. An online platform that helps you learn how to blog and grow your audience. This was an insightful conversation about what it takes to build a successful blog and how to reach your target audience. If you're looking for tips on improving your blog or growing your online following, this is the episode for you!
