But today they're not talking about hair. They're talking about the thing that changed both of their lives: going to a retreat when it scared the hell out of them.Spencer and Misty met in 2019 at their very first retreat. Spencer was newly solo, at the lowest point in her life, and convinced nobody in that room would want to connect with her. Misty was freshly out of a commission salon, hungry for growth, and flying across the country by herself for the first time. Neither of them came for the connection. Both of them left transformed by it.In this conversation, they get into:Why the education is almost never the thing you remember from a retreatWhat it actually feels like to walk into a room full of strangers who get it — finallyHow retreats build the kind of self-trust that solo travel, scary hikes, and 'everybody poops' can also buildThe difference between a healing retreat and what Misty is creating in Costa Rica for ambitious hairstylistsWhy investing in a retreat can feel terrifying — and why Spencer (and her husband) think it's worth it every timeWhat happens when you stop going to rooms full of people who don't understand your drive and start going to ones that doThis is also a preview of what's coming: Misty's Costa Rica retreat (spring 2027), designed specifically for ambitious women in the hair industry who are done with content shoots and crystal bowls and ready for something that actually refills the cup rather than cracking them open and sending them home to deal with it alone.If you've been on the fence about going somewhere, investing in yourself, walking into the big scary room — this episode will either push you over the edge or remind you why you already know you need it.hairstylist personal development, salon owner mindset, hairstylist retreat, personal growth for hairstylists, solo travel hairstylist, stylist burnout and boundaries, building confidence as a hairstylist, hairstylist community and connection, self-trust for salon owners

Alfredo Lewis and Emily Chen: Qoat and the Product the Hair Industry Has Been MissingFive minutes. One bottle. Up to $32,000 in added annual revenue. And a brand new category that has never existed before.Recorded live at ABS Chicago with co-host Geno Chapman, Corey sits down with Alfredo Lewis and Emily Chen to introduce Qoat (pronounced coat)... the first ever professional hair color top coat that seals, protects, and illuminates every color service. Compatible with all color brands. Five minutes at the back bar. Launching in Salon Centric July 1st.What It DoesThe concept came from nail polish. Nobody was putting a top coat on hair color, and the result was the same as skipping it on a manicure: the color fades fast. Alfredo spent two years with a chemist developing a proprietary blend called Hydro Glow Shield. After toning, you apply one to three ounces of Qoat, comb through, process five minutes, rinse. Alfredo's vivid pink client went from calling him two weeks after her service saying her color was already gone... to making it two and a half months. Emily tested swatches thousands of times trying to make them ugly. They refused.The Shareholder ModelAlfredo built Qoat with five artist shareholders, not ambassadors. Each one owns a piece of the company. Emily Chen, Kara Williams, Jacob Conn, Zach Mesquite, and Philip Wolff. Every one of them comes from a different brand family. That was intentional. Qoat is brand agnostic and compatible with every color line on the market.The NumbersApproximately 17 services per bottle. MSRP around $55 to $58. Add-on service charge of $15 to $35 per client. Profit per year between $15,000 and $32,000. For five minutes at the back bar. Launching in Salon Centric and Modern Beauty Canada July 1st.Emily Sold Her SalonEight years in, with her education career pulling her in a different direction, Emily gifted her salon to Megan, a former assistant who had built her book faster than almost anyone Emily had ever seen. She gave the team four months notice, laid out both outcomes clearly, and let Megan step into it. The culture she spent eight years building is intact.Break Room EmilyEmily taught two ways for years without realizing it. Brand-approved stage Emily and break room Emily who made analogies involving Cool Ranch Doritos. When she started bringing break room Emily into her presentations, people retained more and rooms responded better. She has been full break room Emily ever since.Find Alfredo at @alfredo_lewis and Emily at @emchenhair. Follow Geno at @genochapman. Qoat launches in Salon Centric July 1st.

Send us a textIn Part 3 of our 2026 Salon Industry Predictions series, we're breaking down the areas that will matter most for long-term success: culture, branding, leadership, and mentorship. The truth is simple: you can have education, technology, beautiful décor, and the best skill in town, but without strong culture and leadership, none of it creates a sustainable business.In this episode, we talk about why culture must become a system, not a vibe; why clients are drawn to salons where they feel seen and valued; why décor means nothing without energy; and why your branding is no longer aesthetic, it's emotional identity shaped by your clients' experiences.We also dive deep into modern leadership: growing people, building opportunities, hiring for alignment (not desperation), and understanding that everything in your business is your responsibility. We cover how mentorship will reshape the industry, how “copy-and-paste leadership” will collapse, and why legacy will matter more than ego in 2026.If you want your salon to move from the B-tier to the A-tier, you must change how you lead, hire, and support the people in your business. This episode gives you the blueprint.Key TakeawaysCulture must move from “vibe” to a measurable system.Weak cultures will collapse under their own weight.Clients choose salons where they feel safe, seen, and valued.Branding becomes emotional identity, not visuals.Atmosphere is created by energy, not interior design.Hiring must shift from desperation to alignment.Leadership is about growing people, not being the best technician.Mentorship becomes the engine of career & business development.Copy-and-paste leadership collapses — identity matters.Legacy > ego; real leadership is measured by the lives you change.Everything in your business is your responsibility.Time Stamps00:00 — Welcome + Part 3 focus (culture, branding, leadership, mentorship) 01:00 — Why culture + leadership outweigh education, skill, or décor 02:00 — Opening Takes: New hires, feedback, modern KPIs 06:00 — Culture as a system, not personality 08:00 — Weak cultures collapsing; client distrust; salons closing 10:00 — Clients want to feel seen, valued, and understood 12:00 — Branding shifts from aesthetics → emotional identity 15:00 — Energy > décor; how real atmosphere is created 17:00 — Hiring for value alignment, not desperation 19:00 — Client avatars, ideal clients, and retention 20:00 — Leadership: imitation collapses; identity matters 23:00 — Growing people as the core leadership function 26:00 — Owners must shift from technician → architect 29:00 — Mentorship becomes essential for progress 33:00 — Industry coaching problems + needed evolution 35:00 — Lone wolf leadership collapses; collaboration wins 38:00 — Legacy > ego; awards + status symbols decline 42:00 — Brutal truth: everything is your responsibility 45:00 — Final thoughts + closingLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

Today I have an amazing guest, Naeemah Lafond, a true force within the hair industry.A first generation Haitian American who grew up in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York, Naeemah is well versed in hair at every level, as a stylist, artistic director, educator and someone who stands for change and real inclusion.In 2021 she worked with Pinterest on the hair pattern function to improve the user experience for Black, Brown and Latinx people with textured hair in search of style inspiration and advice.A year before, in June 2020, Naeemah created a guide about what needed to change when it came to Black creatives; from hiring black stylists to normalising Black beauty. While Naeemah's focus was and is of course hair, her guide spoke to everyone in every industry.In this episode we discuss how Naeemah got her start in hairdressing and how her work fits alongside being a mother. She talks about the gap she began noticing in hair education and points out why the onus falls on the system, not the stylist and she shares on that stunning global fashion moment when she created the hair looks for the Christopher John Rogers AW20 show.By the way, there's a dedicated Substack on Naeemah's episode as well as a special video all about that epic Christopher John Rogers show over on my Instagram.Follow Naeemah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/naeemahlafond/WHERE TO FIND MESubstack: https://thecharissereport.substack.comThreads: https://www.threads.net/@charisse_kenion/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charisse_kenion/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@charissekenionCheck me out on ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/beautyme Business inquiries: info@charissekenion.com

In this episode, Hayley Mears chats with Sonia Thomas, also known as The Salon Dr, who brings over 37 years of experience in the salon industry. From salon owner to corporate sales leader, Sonia shares the mindset, strategies, and communication skills that help salon professionals elevate their businesses — not through discounts or gimmicks, but through authentic client education, value-driven service, and confidence in their worth.✂️ Highlights from the EpisodeSonia's Career Journey & Passion for SalesSonia shares her evolution from salon owner to corporate sales professional, where she generated over $2.6 million in new business in her first year. Her time in corporate selling gave her a fresh perspective on the power of understanding customer pain points — a skill she now teaches salon owners to apply in their consultations.The State of the IndustrySonia discusses the changing salon landscape, noting that nearly 29% of salons closed last year, while 70% of hairdressers now work from home. She stresses that the future of the industry depends on mindset — valuing skill, professionalism, and education just as highly as any other trade.Selling Through Education, Not PressureRather than focusing on “selling,” Sonia reframes consultations as opportunities to educate clients. She explains how to build trust by speaking simply, asking questions, and securing permission before recommending aftercare, so conversations feel collaborative, not transactional.Understanding Pain Points & Reading the RoomSonia breaks down how to uncover a client's real needs through active listening, open-ended questions, and body language awareness. When clients understand why a product or treatment is necessary, they feel empowered — turning the sales moment into a shared decision.Reframing Client ObjectionsSonia shares strategies for responding when clients mention cheaper online products. Instead of defensiveness, she advises empathy — understanding their reasoning and gently educating them about the risks of poor-quality alternatives. Confidence and belief in what you're recommending are the real game-changers.It's About Value, Not PriceDrawing parallels to luxury experiences, Sonia explains that clients don't mind paying premium prices when the service feels exceptional. Price resistance only arises when the perceived value drops — meaning small details and consistency are everything.Growing Profit with Existing ClientsSonia reveals how focusing on your current client base can transform profitability. One salon she mentored increased revenue by $57,000 in three months by applying her “high-ticket” and “accelerator” strategies — built on leadership, stock control, and clear financial understanding.Overcoming Limiting BeliefsSonia challenges the common mindset that “clients can't afford it.” She reminds stylists that clients often invest in what they want, not just what they need, and that confidence in your pricing and service creates trust. Stepping into the “unknown zone,” she says, is where real growth happens.

In this episode, Clive and Amie chat to Lisa Conway. A renowned member of the Hair Industry. Lisa Conway is a Salon Professional Extraordinaire and Author of tell-all book, The Naked Salon – An Essential Guide to Time, Team and Money for Salon Owners. With genuine passion and boundless energy, she heads up The ZING Project, a business dedicated to teaching Salon Owners how to step-up and transform their businesses. We discuss Lisa's journey of sobriety and her experience with ADHD. Lisa shares how growing up in a family with a history of alcoholism influenced her relationship with alcohol. She also talks about the connection between neurodiversity and addiction, highlighting the role of dopamine in seeking external stimulation. Lisa emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and understanding one's own needs, rather than relying solely on medication. The conversation touches on the challenges of ADHD, the impact on personal relationships, and the strategies Lisa has implemented to manage her symptoms. She discusses the impact of menopause, divorce, and her son's mental health struggles on her well-being. Lisa's story is relatable and inspiring, showing that it's never too late to make positive changes in life. She emphasises the need for kindness, authenticity, and self-care in navigating life's challenges.   Takeaways Growing up in a family with a history of alcoholism can influence one's relationship with alcohol. There is a connection between neurodiversity, such as ADHD, and addiction, as individuals may seek external stimulation to compensate for a lack of dopamine. Self-awareness and understanding one's own needs are crucial in managing ADHD symptoms, and medication may not be the only solution. ADHD can present challenges in personal relationships, but it can also be a superpower, providing exceptional problem-solving abilities. It is important to create strategies and systems to help manage ADHD symptoms and improve overall functioning. Taking care of oneself is crucial for overall well-being Seeking help and support is important during challenging times Hormone replacement therapy and supplements can have a positive impact on mental and physical health It's never too late to make positive changes in life Open communication and self-acceptance are key in navigating the challenges of ADHD and brain health. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be beneficial for women going through menopause. Kindness, authenticity, and self-care are essential in living a fulfilling life. Challenges and struggles can lead to personal growth and self-discovery. Focusing on the positive aspects of life and embracing imperfections can lead to a more joyful existence.

Heyyyyyyyyyy everyone, I know that it's been a long time, I miss you all so much. I pray you all are well. :) This episode is all about the witchcraft that's taking place in this Industry and God is not pleased with it. I share a testimony of how God used me at a class I attended, tune in this is good

2024 started off on a very sad note for the hairdressing world with the passing of Angus Mitchell.   Angus was the son of the late Paul Mitchell, who was the co-founder of John Paul Mitchell Systems.   As someone who had the privilege of having a close working relationship with the company, I was fortunate enough to ‘on occasion' have spent a little time with Angus, and he was always full of life, love, and genuine kindness.     This week's podcast is a re-release of episode 46, which I originally recorded in 2020. I'm re-releasing it as a tribute and thank you to Mr Angus Mitchell.   He will long be missed and loved by many.   In this episode, we discuss   ●  Why Hawaii is the spiritual home for JPMS. ●  The importance of philanthropy and environmental issues. ●  Angus's love of cars.     For full show notes, links and resources mentioned visit: https://growmysalonbusiness.com/podcast/228/    Thanks so much for joining me this week.

Join Danielle in this week's Big Money Stylist Podcast as she talks to Nina Pelfini, a veteran hairstylist, Licensed NBR Artist, and salon owner with 21 years of experience. The episode begins with Nina's journey within her career as a hairstylist, her aspiration to go beyond the boundaries of hair styling through the NBR Academy, and her commitment to uplifting and empowering other women. With a mastery of over two decades, Nina shared her epiphany of conquering the artistry of hair and feeling a magnetic pull towards new challenges. While she loves the art of hair, she desires to create a lasting impact and empower others to know that they are capable of their dreams, and doing something new that maybe makes her palms a little sweaty! Throughout their conversation, Nina highlighted the importance of women supporting and empowering one another. I mean can't we all be like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé? Nina shared stories of times when people judged her and had certain expectations because of society's “rules”. These judgements used to hold her back from reaching her full potential and living her life by her design, and now she's stepped into her power and knows she can help other women do the same.  ____________________ Let's Connect...
