From a turbulent childhood filled with chaos and heartbreak to finding purpose through hairdressing, Blake's journey is one of relentless growth and unshakable resilience. His book I Am_____ captures that journey beautifully, reminding us that our past doesn't define us, our choices do.We talk about how hairdressing quite literally saved him, the lessons he's learned along the way, and his powerful belief that no one is coming to save you; you have to choose growth for yourself. Blake also opens up about how his personal story evolved into a mission to make the industry better, leading him to create AIVA, an AI-driven salon management system built to give stylists their time back.This conversation is a reminder that success isn't about shortcuts or luck; it's about doing the work you're avoiding, learning from failure, and never giving up on what's possible.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] Welcome and introduction to guest Blake Dufault[02:00] Why Blake wrote his book I Am Blank[06:30] Blake's tough start in life and the lessons it taught him[09:45] How hairdressing became the turning point that saved him[12:30] Doing the work you're avoiding – the real key to growth[14:00] The power of taking ownership: “No one's coming to save you”[23:00] The writing process – ten years of reflection and refinement[26:30] From student to salon owner – building culture and systems[28:45] What successful salons are doing right today[31:00] How AI will reshape the future of salon business[34:00] Introducing AVA – the AI-driven virtual assistant for salons[41:00] Building technology that serves stylists, not the other way around[42:30] Why Blake walked away from social media (and how it worked)[44:30] Where to find Blake's book and AIVA onlineWant MORE to help you GROW?

This is part two of my three-part series on salon marketing, and today we're diving into why most salons are reasonably good at attracting new clients but not nearly so good at keeping them. If you listened to last week's episode, you'll know that 60% of new clients never return for a second visit, and only one in ten make it to six visits. Today, I'm explaining exactly why that happens and what marketing really has to do with it.Here's the thing most salon owners get wrong: they think marketing stops once the client walks through the door. But that's actually when the second function of marketing begins. I'm talking about the client experience, the quality of your work, and the relationships your team builds. If you've been pouring money into advertising but still struggling with retention, this episode will change how you think about marketing forever. Next week, in part three, we'll get into the actual solutions, but today is about understanding where it all goes wrong.IN THIS EPISODE:[01:00] Quick recap of part one: the three functions of marketing[02:32] Why getting clients through the door isn't the problem[03:20] What the second function of marketing really is[04:12] Two main reasons clients don't come back[05:19] How to give clients a reason to return[06:31] When expectations don't match experience[08:51] Why every detail in your salon is marketing[10:04] The role of your team in delivering on your marketing promise[11:12] Wrapping up and preview of part three: the solutionsWant MORE to help you GROW?

What is HairAid and how can a hairstylist actually change a life in one week? Ambrosia talks with Alannah Zilkowsky (HairAid project lead) and Corey/Hairdustry about HairAid's volunteer-led projects in Cambodia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Guatemala. Learn how teams teach core foundational haircuts in less than a week, why graduates can earn income immediately, who can volunteer (you don't need to be an educator), costs and logistics, real success stories, and why many stylists return feeling re-energized and burnout-free. If you've wondered how to use your salon skills for global impact, this is your playbook. Catch the Profit Marker Replay HERE: https://small-kiwi-98108.myflodesk.com/ao7u0l0qzq To learn more about HairAid: https://hairaid.org.au/ 1. HairAid is a volunteer-led charity that teaches core foundational haircuts in less than a week, so people in extreme poverty can earn income immediately. 2. You don't need to be an “educator” to serve basic skills. Willingness to follow HairAid's method, and a servant mindset are enough.   3. Projects operate in countries like Cambodia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Guatemala, partnering with local NGOs for lasting impact.   4. Students often experience their first formal education on day one, and by day's end they complete a live one-length cut with guidance.   5. The curriculum covers greeting, tools, sectioning, one-length, V-shape, long layers, round layers, graduated bob, and short cuts (adapted per location).   6. Impact is immediate: graduates open micro-salons, support families, and even return as translators/trainers, creating ripple effects.   7. Volunteers report personal transformation, learning presence, surrender, and gratitude, often returning re-energized and cured of burnout.   8. HairAid's logistics remove guesswork: pre-trip packets, packing lists, cultural notes, training videos, and on-ground induction day. 9. Typical projects host 12–18 volunteers; costs include a volunteer fee plus flights, many stylists fundraise via clients and salon events. 10.  Common fears (cost, travel, “am I good enough?”) are normal; pairing with experienced leads and teammates makes it manageable. 11. Service extends beyond the classroom: HairAid supports local social enterprises (hotels, eateries) to uplift the wider community. 12. Post-COVID rebuilding means fewer trips now, with more locations returning; connections on the ground help open future countries.  13. You can contribute even if you're not ready to travel: share the mission, sponsor a volunteer, or connect HairAid to credible local partners.  14. Bringing a spouse or friend is welcome, non-stylists can help with admin, cross-checks, or allied community projects.  1 5. Big picture: teaching a skill changes a life, restores dignity, and builds community, while reminding us why this industry matters.

What does it look like to go from feeling financially overwhelmed to fully owning your money story?In this episode of Money Files, I sit down with my client Clara, a hairstylist in Washington, D.C., who transformed the way she managed her finances. Before working together, Clara earned good money but constantly wondered, “Where is it all going?” Like many 1099 earners, her income fluctuated, and without a system, that led to stress, uncertainty, and missed opportunities.Together, we built a framework that gave her structure, clarity, and confidence. Clara learned how to separate her business and personal finances, plan for taxes, and create a simple system that helped her build savings and prepare for slower seasons. With her new mindset and money plan, she stopped stressing about her finances, bought her first home, and even planned an international trip, without panic or guilt.This conversation is about more than numbers; it's about what happens when you finally take ownership of your financial life.Listen in to learn:[02:15] How Clara realized she needed help managing her money[05:00] Why accountability and structure are key to financial success[08:25] How she stopped stressing over inconsistent income[11:40] How she prepared for slow business seasons with confidence[15:20] The mindset shift that helped her buy her first home[18:40] How she learned to fit her lifestyle into her budget instead of restricting it[21:45] Building confidence to earn more and plan for retirementTune into this episode of Money Files to hear how Clara went from overwhelmed to empowered and how financial coaching helped her build a system that supports her goals and her peace of mind.Get full show notes and the episode transcript: https://wealthovernow.com/financial-predictability-how-clara-created-financial-ease-as-a-hairstylist/Links mentioned in this episode…Set up a call | Financial Coach Washington, DC | Wealth Over NowDownload my FREE spending plan

In this episode, I'm kicking off a brand-new three-part series on one of my favourite topics - marketing. When I had salons, marketing was something I loved, and it even won us a few awards. But here's the thing: most salon owners completely misunderstand what marketing actually is.So today, we're starting at the beginning, with the real definition of marketing. I'll walk you through what I call the three functions of marketing: attracting, converting, and retaining clients. You'll see why most salons only ever master the first part and how that keeps them stuck on a hamster wheel of constantly chasing new clients instead of building a business full of loyal ones.By the end of this episode, you'll see marketing in a whole new light, not as something you only do on Instagram, but as everything you do from the moment a client hears about you to the moment they decide to come back again and again.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:51] The question every salon owner needs to answer: What is marketing?[02:16] Three definitions that redefine how you see marketing[03:01] Why most salons are good at attracting clients — but not keeping them[04:16] The maths behind one new client a day[06:13] The “leaky bucket” metaphor for salon marketing[08:51] The real work of marketing happens inside your salonWant MORE to help you GROW?

This week, I'm diving into what is often an overlooked growth strategy for salons, market research. The starting point for effective market research is to remember that “you are not your client.” The decisions you make about pricing, services, and the salon experience shouldn't always be based on what you would want.In this episode, I share simple, practical ways to gather real insight from the people who matter most, your clients. From casual conversations in the chair to formal surveys and even visiting other salons yourself, you'll learn how to collect feedback, “feed it forward,” and create an experience that keeps people coming back.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] Welcome and setting the scene for year-end focus[01:00] Why “you are not the client” is a crucial mindset shift[02:15] Experiencing another salon as a client[04:00] How assumptions about client needs can mislead[04:40] Market research methods that actually work[05:44] Using everyday conversations as powerful research[06:46] Feedback and the “feed it forward” principle[10:32] Turning feedback into action for continuous improvement[12:36] Episode wrap-up and next week's teaserWant MORE to help you GROW?

Whether you're a salon owner, a stylist, or an aspiring educator, this conversation is full of nuggets about growth, leadership, and the responsibility we all have to lift others up.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] Introduction and welcome[00:49] Chris Baran's background and career journey[05:00] Reinvention vs. evolution in education and creativity[08:29] How do you know if you're ready to be an educator?[13:45] What makes a truly great teacher[18:00] The power of vulnerability and connection in teaching[21:00] Why “teaching what you most need to learn” matters[26:00] Validation, ego, and finding authenticity on stage[31:21] How education has changed since the pandemic[34:00] Generational shifts and the “swipe right” society[38:40] Creating a culture of growth inside your salon[46:10] Where to connect with Chris BaranWant MORE to help you GROW?

She left her hairstylist job one day … and landed an agency copywriting role the next. Her portfolio when she landed the job? 100% spec ads. She's never stepped foot in an office. And right now?

After more than a decade behind the chair, she knew it was time to make the emotional decision to move on. And if you're feeling that same pull—even if you love your current career—Katherine's story is one you need to hear. Katherine was kind enough to spend some time sharing her story on the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast, including the strategies that helped launch her copywriting career.

Earlier this year, Mikki left her Brisbane salon in the hands of her team and took a huge leap, moving to Los Angeles to start over from scratch.Within no time at all, she was fully booked, not because of luck, but because of hustle, grit, and sheer determination.We talk about why she made the move, how she built a client base in a new country with no connections, and the strategies she uses to keep her Brisbane salon thriving without her being there day-to-day. I love a bit of hustle and seeing people get out there, build their book from scratch and doing that in another country, when you don't have a social network, takes courage and a lot of self-belief.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:29] Mikki's move from Brisbane to Los Angeles [02:36] The O-1 visa process and making the leap[06:24] Why LA was the right fit and finding a salon space[09:55] Getting licensed in the US[12:13] The power of hustle: flyers, posters, and ads[15:44] Building clients through Meta ads and old-school marketing[19:17] Starting over: what it feels like to build again[22:20] Differences between the US and Australian salon industry[25:00] Pricing, tipping, and client expectations[26:00] Running her Brisbane salon remotely with systems and leadership[34:54] Lessons from building structure and management teams[37:51] Learning from US salon culture and service standards[44:00] Employee entitlements vs US benefitsWant MORE to help you GROW?

The truth? There are plenty of hairdressers earning great money - some are even in the top 5-10% of all income earners. The difference isn't about age, experience, or even how good they are doing hair. It's about productivity.In this episode, I'm addressing one of the biggest frustrations I hear from salon owners: why aren't my team members busier, earning more, and caring about the numbers like I do? The answer is simple - your team can't earn more money until they learn to produce more, and most of them have never been taught how.I'll share the difference between a regular stylist and what I call a "Super Stylist," and give you a clear next step to transform your team's performance.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:46] The biggest frustration salon owners face[01:18] Why your team isn't busier (and why it's not about talent)[02:34] The truth about hairdressing pay[03:50] Productivity vs. pay: what really drives income[04:30] The skills stylists never get taught[05:36] Why technical skills alone won't make you successful[07:42] Real-world results from training your team[09:31] Why owners need to invest in their people[11:27] Why training isn't a cost, it's a growth strategyWant MORE to help you GROW?

I've never done an episode solely about coaching before, but as more salon owners than ever are either having a coach or wanting to become a coach, I think it's about time. Coaching has been one of the biggest game-changers in my own career and in the lives of hundreds of salon owners I've worked with across more than 14 countries. Yet for many, it's still a bit of a mystery.In this episode, I unpack what coaching is (and what it isn't), how it's different from mentoring, consulting, and teaching, and why it can accelerate your results in ways that books and courses alone can't. I share stories from my own journey, both as a coach and as someone who's been coached, and the qualities I believe you should look for (and avoid) when hiring one.If you've been quietly wondering whether coaching might be the right next step for you, this conversation will give you the clarity, confidence, and practical insight you need to decide. And yes, I'll tell you exactly how you can work with me before my prices go up later this year.IN THIS EPISODE:[02:19] Coaching's rise in the salon industry[06:55] The common thread between salon owners who seek coaching[09:41] How coaching brings clarity, confidence, and profit[11:02] What coaching is, and what it isn't[12:22] How my experience combines mentoring and coaching[12:36] What to look for when hiring a coach[14:12] What to avoid in a coach[15:58] How I help my coaching clients grow profit without extra stress[17:38] Why you don't need to figure it all out on your ownWant MORE to help you GROW?
