The Impactful Stylist Podcast

We're taking a detour from our regularly scheduled mindset & social media marketing chats to talk more about salon ownership. Many people think the only way to own a salon is to rent a storefront (which is great) but it's not the only way! I'm breaking down the reasons that I decided to convert a house into a salon 9 years ago (and did it again for our new salon) and the steps that I took to get the ball rolling. If you find value in this episode share it with your hair besties and leave me a review on Apple Podcasts

This episode is all about shifting your mindset around blank space on your appointment book. I'm sharing tips and tricks in this episode to help you to stay focused on actual growth opportunities that you can leverage to your advantage when you aren't working with clients. These are the things that make a huge impact on your success as a stylist. ✨✨✨ On last week's episode we talked about ways to plan for ebbs and flows in your business, this makes a great companion to this episode, so make sure to give that a listen as well! https://theimpactfulstylist.mykajabi.com/30daysofCONTENT

The common misconception that people in the industry often have is that there's something wrong with them if their appointment book is slower during certain months. The truth is, it takes TIME to build a consistent clientele. We're playing the long game… this doesn't happen over night. Give yourself lots of grace… and listen to this episode for actionable tips and mindset shifts to help you to approach the ebbs and flows of your business with more confidence and calm.

This episode has something for every stylist no matter what stage you are in your career! It's a MUST listen especially if you want some actionable advice and inspiration.

That episode title… yes, please! The truth is, we can't just wish away for these things. Sometimes we're actually blocking these things and we don't even know it. In this episode, I'm discussing some of the realizations that I've had around ways that I would keep myself stuck and what has worked for me to not stay stuck in the same patterns.

In this episode I have the pleasure of having one of my longtime mentors Nina Kovner of Passion Squared as my guest! This episode is all about boundaries…. I love this topic so much as I didn't learn about setting healthy boundaries until I was well into my late 30's and quite frankly didn't even know what boundaries were! I do know that learning more about setting boundaries in my professional and personal life have helped me so much to minimize feelings of burn out, resentment, codependency, etc. What I've come to learn and why I love Nina and Passion Squared: doing the inside work matters and is equally as important as working on your technical skills as a stylist.

Let's take the pressure off of ourselves to post on 5 different social media platforms shall we? In this week's Impactful Stylist episode I'm sharing TONS of simple tips to make social media work FOR YOU and not spend a million hours a week making content. The key is committing to a strategy that works for you: this is when you start to fill up those gaps on your appointment book and the stream of awesome clients only propels your self confidence even more! (As well as your bank account)

This episode is the perfect fusion of a mini Masterclass and TEDtalk on the importance of maximizing your time in the salon to not only help you to make more money but also to give you more fulfillment and more work/life balance. Part of building an impactful life is becoming more intentional with our lives and how we spend our time. This includes HOW we're scheduling our clients for the day! It's the little shifts that we can make that give us more wealth and fulfillment in our every day life.

I've worked as a booth renter and as a commission stylist.. and Spoiler alert

I'm catching up with THE awesome Krystine Sherwood (The Beauty Pro Coach)!! We're dishing about how shedding (clients, relationships, old habits or ways of thinking) can feel like a failure and like our world is crashing down, when in reality it's TOTALLY NECESSARY to evolve as your next level self. When we make changes in our lives whether behind the chair or in our personal lives it can feel SO terrifying… this is completely normal! This episode is for you if you're feeling lost or need to start to make some moves in your career, but are afraid of change. Follow Krystine Sherwood on IG: @thebeautyprocoach

In this week's episode I'm catching up with the brilliant mind of Kelly Maxwell: extension specialist and CEO of Find Your Hairstylist, a website that connects hairstylists with their dream clients! Kelly shares what inspired her to become a hairstylist, how choosing to specialize in extensions changed the game for her AND how Find Your Hairstylist works! The concept behind Find Your Hairstylist is absolutely brilliant! I can't wait for you guys to hear all about it, because it benefits clients AND stylists alike- it's kind of a big deal!

There's nothing more frustrating than having a bunch of cancellations or no-shows on your book! In this episode I talk about what we started doing in my salon a year ago to minimize no shows and cancellations- it has completely changed everything! Empowering yourself to take responsibility and put consistent policies in place allows you to keep the right clients in your chair… and continue attracting clients that will respect your time. ✨

Specializing as a stylist is a BIG step and isn't for everyone, but if it's something that you have your heart set on, it can be achieved through intentional & strategic planning. My advice on this week's podcast is not a one size fits all, as everyone's financial situation and goals are so different. I simply share my story and what steps I took to encourage you to plan intentionally if specializing is your goal as a stylist.

We all want more clients who we look forward to seeing on our schedules…the one's who feel like pure sunshine to be around ☀️ But what are you actively doing to attract that type of client? It's possible to have a clientele FULL of these dream humans

Recognizing and positioning yourself as a brand as a stylist is more important now than ever. When you begin to build your own personal brand you open yourself up to SO many opportunities. These opportunities could mean additional streams of income on top of bringing in your dream clients. The possibilities are endless.

In a sea of amazing hairstylists… what makes someone choose you? How does one find their soul mate clients? And keep them? I'm giving some simple tips and tricks that work in your every day life to level up your client experience with existing AND potential clients.

Have you been considering diving into the art of hair extensions? There are a multitude of things I had no idea about before I started offering this service to clients. This episode is only the short list

The truth is, as a stylist we will have SO many times that something shakes our confidence to the core or because of circumstances in our personal lives we are feeling less than thrilled to go work on clients. So what do you do when you have a full day of clients and you need to show up and bring your A-game? In this weeks episode, I'm talking about the things that work for me when I want to shift my energy and get my head back in the game. These are also things that I did when I was a less than confident extension artist starting out. Everyone has to start somewhere and the hardest part of joining the hair industry(or even when you pivot in the industry) is trying to project confidence when you feel insecure. As someone who despises fake things I had to come up with something that worked and felt authentic to me to hold space for myself while also holding space for my clients. Take a listen and see if this resonates with you ✨ Follow @theimpactfulstylist

The faster that you realize that marketing gives YOU the FREEDOM to decide what services you want to offer and what clients that you want to have in your chair, the more open-minded you are to the possibilities of what your career could be. ✨

How quickly do you implement the coloring, cutting, business techniques that you learn? Ultimately implementation is one key thing that will drive your success. If we're not careful all of this information that we consume on the daily can be useless if we don't implement it into our daily lives. This episode focuses on the “how and why” to make it happen. Follow @theimpactfulstylist @amiebhairstylist

These are the top tips to turn clients into raving fans and to recession proof your clientele. Although we should always be committed to leveling up our skills, creating an AMAZING client experience (which has always been important) is now more important than ever.

Amie shares one of her most shameful realizations that caused her to start thinking about what she was prioritizing in her daily life. So often we're just not consciously aware of things we may be doing to sabotage our happiness behind the chair and at home.

This is the one thing that I wish I would have taken more time to do early on in my career as a stylist. Clarity and Intention are where it's at… when you focus on moving with intention and clarity on what you desire you end up a lot more fulfilled at the end of your work day. P.S. : the money will follow.

Somewhere along the way in the hair industry hairstylists have started to believe that they're losing at life if their appointment books aren't overbooked and bursting at the seams. This episode is about how we can turn those blank spaces into seeds of growth for our own creativity and abundance behind the chair!

There isn't a stylist in history that has gone their whole career without having to make shifts or adjustments to a client's hair that they just did.
