This short episode is a reflection on the real relationships we form with the people who sit in our chairs. I've often said that clients aren't your friends, they're your clients. And professionally, that boundary matters. But every now and then, those lines blur in ways that are deeply human.I share a couple of stories from my time behind the chair that have stayed with me for decades. One client who reminded me never to underestimate the importance of kindness, and another who became part of my family in the most unexpected way. These are reminders of the quiet role hairdressers play in people's lives, sometimes without even realising it.As the year wraps up, this episode is simply a thank you. To the clients we serve, the relationships we build, and to you for listening. Because when you stop and think about it, this industry can create some very special connections, and it's easy to take them for granted.Want MORE to help you GROW?

Send us a textWe hear it all the time: “Stop working in your business and start working on it.” The problem? Almost no one explains what that actually means.In this episode, we break down what salon owners should really be working on when they're not behind the chair and why so many owners step back only to feel stuck, unproductive, or pulled right back into old habits.We talk about why cleaning, hovering, answering phones, and “being available” aren't owner work; how avoiding leadership decisions keeps businesses from growing; and why simply changing your location in the salon doesn't change your role.We explain the four buckets that owners are soley responsible for — money, people, growth, and systems — and how to structure your time so that the work you're doing compounds, removes friction, and creates long-term stability.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others, and that starts with stepping into the work only you can do as an owner.Key TakeawaysStepping away from the chair without redefining your role can lead to stagnation.Cleaning, answering phones, and hovering are not owner work.Owners avoid leadership decisions by defaulting to “busy” tasks.Pricing must be rooted in math, not emotion or staff opinion.Owners are responsible for money, people, growth, and systems — no one else.Support without direction creates dependency, not growth.Marketing only when slow guarantees continued slow seasons.Systems create freedom, consistency, and trust.Owner work should compound, remove friction, and create clarity.Fifteen focused minutes a day beats zero intentional effort.Timestamps00:00 — Why “working on the business” is rarely explained 02:00 — Opening takes: decision fatigue, snowstorms, and perspective 05:00 — Why pricing must be math-based, not emotional 07:00 — The mistake owners make after stepping away from the chair 09:00 — Changing your role vs changing your location 11:00 — Low-level work vs owner-level work 14:00 — Owner Bucket #1: Money (P&L, break-even, pricing, allocation) 18:00 — Why owners must own pricing decisions 20:00 — Owner Bucket #2: People (hiring, onboarding, training) 23:00 — Apprenticeships, assistants, and development pipelines 26:00 — Support without direction creates dependency 28:00 — Owner Bucket #3: Growth (marketing, branding, partnerships) 31:00 — Why marketing only when slow keeps you slow 33:00 — Owner Bucket #4: Systems and direction 36:00 — SOPs, standards, and consistency 38:00 — Hovering, over-availability, and lack of trust 40:00 — Owner self-development and mentorship 42:00 — How to audit your work: compounding, clarity, friction 44:00 — Weekly action steps + closing thoughtsLiving the Dream with CurveballOn the living the dream with curveball podcast I interview guests that inspire.Listen on: Apple Podcasts Links and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

Whether you're navigating heavy conversations with clients, building stronger relationships with your team, or improving communication at home — these skills will change how you show up.hairstylist communication skills, salon owner leadership, safe space behind the chair, emotional intelligence for hairstylists, client relationships salon, how to communicate with clients, stylist burnout prevention, hairstylist personal development, beauty industry education, salon team communication

Am I getting old? What is happening?”You're not alone. Every salon owner I know is asked to hold a thousand things at once and without the right systems, it's impossible to keep up.This episode is the one I wish I had years ago. I'm sharing the exact time management strategies, boundaries, and habits that truly SAVED my sanity and my business while I was still behind the chair. These are the tools that helped me stop drowning in overwhelm and start leading with clarity, intention, and confidence.Why This Episode MattersTime management isn't just “being organized.” It's the foundation of:Hitting your goalsLeading your teamProtecting your energyKeeping your business profitableActually enjoying your life outside the salonAnd reducing that constant mental load you carry every single dayInside this episode, I share my personal turning point, the moment I realized my lack of boundaries was costing me more than time. It was costing me memories with my husband and kids.

The Daily Big 3:Why your 119-item to-do list is failing you… and how choosing three intentional tasks can completely change your productivity and your mindset.3.

Interview with Janine Jarman:Janine Jarman is a nationally renowned celebrity hair stylist and the founder of Hairroin Salon, the home of Hollywood's best-tressed. Born and raised in Huntington Beach, CA, Jarman has been “hair-obsessed” for as long as she can remember. At the age of 15 she teamed up with her best friend to offer hair and makeup services to her party-bound classmates. Jarman then moved on to beauty school, and after graduating, she immediately began shooting for the stars. Jarman steadily built a loyal client base until she was bit by the entrepreneurial bug in 2005. She purchased a failing salon and immediately re-branded and re-opened it as Hairroin Salon. Hairroin instantly became Tinseltown's newest obsession, garnering Hollywood clientele including Florence Welch, Tommy Lee, Kylie Minogue, Danica Patrick, and Fergie. For many years Jarman was the key stylist and official hairdresser for the world's most successful female pop group, The Pussycat Dolls. Jarman was the creator of their signature look, which led to work with celebrities such as Christina Applegate, Britney Spears, Lil' Kim, and Carmen Electra. Jarman has also been the principal hairstylist for television shows including ”Beauty and the Geek,” “The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for The Next Doll,” endless commercial spots, and live shows like the MTV Movie Awards. In 2010 she burst into the national spotlight as a finalist on the third season of Bravo's hit show “Shear Genius.” Jarman instantly became a favorite among the judges and was voted Fan Favorite of her season, standing out for her fearless hair creations, free spirit, and endless amounts of energy.Having naturally curly hair herself, she leaned into using perms to solve texture issues her clients were facing – but felt the need to reimagine the traditional perm process, odor and environmental impact. This led her to Italy where she conjured up Curl Cult, delivering a simpler, healthier, more sustainable texturizing treatment with at-home curl support products even natural curls will love.Links:https://www.curlcult.com/https://www.instagram.com/curlcult/https://www.instagram.com/janinejarman/ https://www.instagram.com/hairroinsalon/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/volume-up-by-the-tease/id1539183805?i=1000632325792Rate The Look:Ariana Madix Danielle BrooksLayla Leanne TaylorNews from TheTease.com:https://www.thetease.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-entering-the-2025-north-american-trendvision-awards/ https://www.thetease.com/pink-hair-is-everywhere-again-bianca-hillier-explains-her-take-on-the-trend/ More from TheTease.com:Instagram:

In this week's episode, I share a recent conversation I had with a Chicago-based stylist who is one of those rare people who is continually looking for those 1% improvements that separate good stylists from exceptional ones.I talk about why it's essential that salon owners invest in training their team beyond just technical skills.Despite all the time, energy, and financial commitment you make as the salon owner, the real success of your business comes together when the stylist is standing behind the chair. That's where the magic either happens or not…As a salon owner, stop leaving the success of that interaction between client and stylist to chance. Instead, either invest in or develop your own comprehensive training programs that cover communication skills, client service, and the mindset needed for sustained success. IN THIS EPISODE: [00:00] Welcome and introduction[00:45] Introducing Rita and the Super Stylist course[01:49] Questions for salon owners about team training[03:33] Where the rubber meets the road: The critical client interaction[04:14] Introduction to Rita's story and my initial assumptions[05:14] The surprising reality of Rita's experience and mindset[05:58] Communication distinctions that matter with clients[06:49] Rita's approach to continuous improvement[07:47] What inspires me about stylists like Rita[08:51] Information about the Super Stylist course  Want MORE to help you GROW?

In this episode, I have the privilege of chatting with Vivienne Blake—a name maybe not familiar to you but someone who came to my attention as a member of our How To Cut It Platform Community. Vivienne has not only carved a unique path in our industry as the owner of her boutique salon and an independent educator, but also launched her innovative product—See Me Aprons—all while balancing these roles. Vivienne shares a journey that began with dreams of high-fashion work, but life had other plans. A chance opportunity led her to Vidal Sassoon salon, where she honed her skills and laid the groundwork for her future endeavours. Vivienne is a brilliant example of how a career in hairdressing can be both transformative and pivotal—something I'm always thrilled to champion. Her journey showcases the incredible flexibility this industry offers. From working with a global hair brand, she navigated the profound challenge of returning home to care for her father. This led her to ingeniously convert a bathroom into a makeshift salon. Following this, she established a charming boutique salon, shared her passion for haircutting as an independent educator, and then launching her own product line, See Me Aprons. Truly inspiring! Vivienne's story could help you take the next step in your own journey, whether that's launching a product line or creating a tool for the industry. But it isn't easy—and Vivienne will share some of her obstacles with us. But if you dig deep, it could pave the way for opportunities—something that Vivienne is now experiencing as her see Me Aprons are being sold in leading hairdressing wholesalers. This is precisely what I adore about our industry: with a spark of an idea, boundless energy, passion, and staying power, you can achieve anything. Who ever said hairdressing is a stagnant career? Absolutely not! I love bringing inspiring members of our Platform Community, like Vivienne, onto the podcast. Her entrepreneurial journey and her resilience and adaptability serve as a testament to what can be achieved while working behind the chair and running a salon. Be inspired and enjoy!

Whether it's on social media or podcasts or articles that I read, It seems to me that the goal of salon owners everywhere is to leave the floor.I don't think it's inevitable, but there seems to be a point in the lives of many salon owners where they say that they want to step away from being behind the chair. But there's a problem, and the problem is that often, the reason that they can't step away from behind the chair is because they're the salon's number one earner.So what's the solution?Let's begin by looking at how they ended up in this position in the first place. Tune in to learn how to redefine your role as a salon owner so that you set your business up for long-term success. IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) Welcome to the Grow My Salon Business Podcast(01:49) The dilemma of stepping away from the chair(03:24) Understanding the root cause of the problem(05:47) Building a sustainable salon business(08:56) The role of a salon owner(09:56) Free management resources and upcoming masterclass(10:50) Conclusion and farewell  Want MORE to help you GROW?

Whether teaching face-to-face in small hands-on classes, on main stage, or reaching his millions of social media followers via laptop or mobile device – the new classroom, Sam changes people. He is a true leader that brings out the best in others. As the 2017 NAHA Lifetime Achievement Award Winner he is known for doing things differently to challenge, inspire and motivate change. His encouragement to stylists is unrivaled, as he genuinely wants each one of them to reach deep to identify how they can make a change to promote their own growth. Sam's talents stretch far beyond his brilliant cutting and finishing skills; he has a plethora of business skills that enliven stylists to think about how they speak to their guests to add value behind the chair.“Sharing is the greatest gift we can give one another…to help each other grow and prosper, we all need to pay it forward,” says Sam. Consistent research, along with a respect for the fundamentals, Sam is always on the move for new and unconventional ways of cutting and finishing hair - like using a flat iron for versatility, texturizing iron to create hidden volume and using disconnection to create styles that look blended and can be worn in multiple ways. He is a true messenger sharing his knowledge with stylists in hopes that they too will share with others to enrich the industry…an act of giving for which he was named the 2020 International Hair Influencer of the Year at the International Hairdressing Awards.Sam is in his glory and most comfortable when teaching – a natural transition from his early coaching days in sports. Practice, practice, practice, until you master the craft and then share with others, so they too can become successful! Whether facilitating an in-salon class, on stage at a major show, or conducting a digital event, there is always something to be discovered and learned. “Stylists need a good understanding of the fundamentals of basic techniques. Once mastered, technique can then be manipulated to create modern silhouettes and textures,” explains Sam.“It's time to SHOUT IT OUT! The way for us to BE better is to COME TOGETHER as an industry, and the SHOUT begins here with Sam Villa and Redken!” adds Sam.Sam is co-founder of the Sam Villa® brand (Allvus, LLC) www.samvilla.com targeting stylists, as well as consumers. He shares hot tips and techniques live and virtually, and has a branded line of tools – brushes, combs, thermal tools and shears/razors – for both in-salon use and at home.
