Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. It's full of failures, success, life changing realizations, and everything in between. In this episode, I dive into the extraordinary entrepreneurial and personal journey of Alli Webb, the co-founder of Drybar, N.Y. Times Bestselling Author, Canopy President, and Co-Founder of Squeeze, Brightside, and Becket + Quill. Alli shares her remarkable story of going from professional hairstylist to business mogul, and the collective lessons that came with it. Alli's popular salon chain, Drybar, quickly gained fame and a celebrity following, but her personal life took a sharp downturn when her marriage crumbled, and her teenage son entered rehab unexpectedly. Despite the challenges, Alli decided to rebuild her life piece by piece and she opens up about how she confronted the root of her problems. Through her memoir, Alli aims to give listeners a glimpse behind the scenes of her journey, sharing the "good, the bad, and the ugly" of life as an entrepreneur. She reflects on the messy truths of life and her path to accepting them. Throughout the conversation, Alli highlights the importance of reevaluating one's priorities and going inward, finding meaning beyond the surface success. She emphasizes that no matter how well things seem on the outside, there's always something going on beneath the surface, and success can be achieved even amid life's messy moments. Join us as we discuss the lessons of entrepreneurship, the reinvention of self, and the quest to find balance between the highs and lows of life.

Alli Webb is back! When we spoke with her back in 2018, premier blowout destination Drybar had become a household name with over 100 locations nationwide and a beloved line of products and styling tools sold at major retailers. In her first episode, Webb detailed the journey of her career from fashion and PR to creating the blowout empire. Since then, a lot has changed. The line of products and tools was acquired for $225 million, and Webb stepped away from the business in a major way, freeing her to launch an additional three companies, including the innovative massage concept Squeeze, talk therapy company Okay Humans, and jewelry brand Becket + Quill. Her most recent pivot, however, is taking on the president role at Canopy, the world's cleanest humidifier for beauty and skincare. On this episode, find out how Webb went through a personal and professional transformation that's left her more fulfilled than ever.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Alli Webb was always interested in beauty, starting from her roots as a curly-haired kid growing up in South Florida. She says that going to beauty school was “one of the best decisions I ever made,” and Drybar, her ultra-popular chain of hairstyling studios, definitely proves her point. While she says she spent her childhood as a people-pleaser—”a wallflower, if I'm honest”—she's grown into herself as a business owner and service expert.Alli spent her 20s in New York City, doing PR and styling hair until she met her ex-husband and pivoted to the stay-at-home-mom gig. “I thought it was the coolest thing ever: I get not to work? I thought I had hit the jackpot!” But after a half-decade of staying home with her two sons, she was bored. So she launched a mobile business called Straight At Home, pitching her blowouts on parental message boards and bringing a luxury that had been previously reserved for the glitterati to moms all over L.A. She quickly learned that her business model—which included paying for a babysitter and a lot of gas money—was barely breaking even. But when she tried to pull back, she found that her service wasn't really available anywhere else; her clients would either skip the little luxury, or they would make do at an all-purpose salon that got the job done but lacked that special touch. She envisioned a hair salon that got straight to where the magic happens: those final moments of a haircut that really put the oomph in the style. From that vision came Drybar.Instinctively, she knew that she wanted the Drybar experience to be predictable for clients, replicating the same style and services across the country. She even provided the salon tools, bucking the industry norm that stylists provide their own. “Aesthetically, I had this idea of what I wanted, which led to knowing that, whenever you go to a Drybar, you have the same experience.” This meant that clients could trust whoever was doing their styling, no matter what shop they were visiting. In the early days, clients pushed for Alli to expand her services. They asked for manicures and makeup services, and while Alli considered it, she ultimately decided against it. “We do one thing, and we do it really, really well.” Then, investors looked at her client volume and said they were crazy not to offer them more products, more services, more everything. Alli's response? “I don't want to.” To this day, Drybar offers a limited range of services that focus on great hairstyles, and they've grown to 150 shops nationwide. That doesn't mean she never expanded her business. From the beginning, Alli wanted to develop a line of harmonized hair products that would all work together. So when she raised her first round of funding, she ensured that, while the stores remained the focus, some of the money was earmarked for hair products. Her first partnership, with Sephora, helped launch Drybar from a place women went to something they could use in their daily life. Alli's gone on to launch other exciting brands, including Okay Humans, focusing on a “modernized talk therapy experience,” and Squeeze, a massage studio that is her brother's passion project. Alli says that her own divorce and a chance meeting with a newly licensed family therapist inspired her to “create an experience around talk therapy.” She's gone on to take an advisor-investor role with The Feel-Good Company, a collection of businesses aimed at making clients feel, you know, good. (She also helped launch the jewelry line Becket + Quill, proving that self-care comes in many forms.) While each business focuses on a single element of personal care, the Feel-Good umbrella takes care of HR, marketing, and other needs.
