In this episode of "She Makes Waves," I delve into the relationship between our mindset and money. I share my personal journey of growing up with limited finances and initially dismissing the importance of money. But along my own journey, I've come to realize that our mindset around money can profoundly impact our ability to lead the life we desire. I tell you about the awesome changes that happened when I embraced the idea that money could enable me to prioritize what truly matters: meaningful connections, heart-led projects, and cherished experiences with my daughter. I also touch on the need for hairstylists, and others, to normalize having a big life, confidently valuing their skills, and learning from different professions. Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of evolving our mindset to unlock new possibilities and appreciation for our unique life journey.

Mahisha Dellinger is the founder & CEO of Curls, an iconic brand founded in 2002 with a vision to be the leading provider of healthy hair care solutions for the entire natural family. Mahisha discusses her journey to taking control of her own career path and finances, her intentionality, and the “why” behind her drive. Leading with that same intention, Dellinger founded an MBA style program, Black Women Making Millions Academy, that is set to help 25,000 businesses with over $450 million dollars' worth of free resources.   Mahisha leaves us with several key learnings: “Entrepreneurship is not for the weak of heart. You have to fight through the worst rejections possible, so many heartbreaks. It takes a special person.” “Have some sort of council that can help you. Because investors are not going to come in with their highest. It's up to you to know what your value is or EBITDA.” On allyship & entering retail at Target: “I owe [Linda Sullivan] a great deal of support, acknowledgement, and gratitude. She took her chance on us when everyone else didn't.” “I see a different piece of me in all of [my children].” “I had to be intentional about every single penny because it was coming out of the bottom line.”   Mahisha's Word of 2023: Grace   Bio: Mahisha Dellinger's mantra is simple. Curly hair should be healthy, frizz-free, defined, and effortlessly fabulous.

In 2002 Dellinger pioneered the newly natural market when she launched CURLS, a family of organic hair care products targeted for women embracing their natural textures ... a market previously unanswered by the beauty industry.   Dellinger's astute business acumen and natural talent for delivering market driven products gave way for an instant demand for her product line.

My guest on today's podcast is Pedro Inchenko, who, along with his best friend and business partner Jonny Orthona, started the Ena Salon in London's Covent Garden as well as the off-shoot education brand, Allilon Education.

Mary Wilson When Mary was seven , she watched her hairdresser Mom cut off her Grandmother's long braids and transform her look. She became intrigued by the power of change that beauty creates. After graduating from Cosmetology School in her early 20's, she moved from Iowa to California and has continued to learn and grow ever since. Over the past 30 years, she has been involved in most every aspect of the beauty industry, including marketing, new product development, brand development, staff management, presentation skills, and all aspects of education. Over time, she developed her personal sense of the product experience. After suffering severe migraines, she vowed to only use essential oils as fragrance to avoid reactions to heavy perfumes and synthetics. Mary has traveled the world sharing her passions and is recognized as a leading industry expert. In 2004, she teamed up with Industry Leader Ann Mincey to create “Destination Rejuvenation Retreats.” Together, they have since also created a dynamic and interactive Platform/teacher training course aptly named “I AM a Great Presenter.” She is a 200-hour certified yoga teacher and shares her knowledge regarding managing stress with the beauty industry as well. In order to serve others, Mary believes you must first be clear, grounded, and relaxed in your own body, heart, and mind. Wilson Collective Beauty Leader, yogi, cyclist, who loves the beach. Passionate about the Wilson Collective and Destination Rejuvination. Phillip Wilson Wilson Method has worn many industry shoes. He has been a hairdresser for over 50 years. Phillip Wilson-Founder/Creative Director When Phillip Wilson was a small boy, he would accompany his mother to the salon where he would sweep up hair and catch ashes dropped from slumbering ladies under the dryers. He fell in love with the scents, the sounds, and the salon experience. Receiving coins for tips here and there helped him learn early on that care and kindness go a long way. When asked by the schools' head master to leave school at 14, he began to explore life beyond his small town in coastal England. Phillip set his sights on passing the entrance exam for Cosmetology and he worked hard, jumping the mail train each morning to make his way to college. After completing his licensing, he moved to London and was fortunate enough to train with Vidal Sassoon, Raymond - a.k.a. Teezy Weezy, Alexander of Paris, and many of the Grand Masters of Europe. A few years later, while working a side gig in a pub on Guernsey Island, Phillip was introduced to his greatest young opportunity. Being at the right place at the right time, he was asked to dress the hair of visiting Royal Duchesses for a special occasion. They all fell in love with him and he was asked back time and again. When Phillip moved to Canada in the mid 1970's, he began his platform artist career and opened his first salons in Vancouver. There, he honed all of those skills learned from so many. He began cutting hair with two combs and two brushes in a very free-form style. This became his Wilson Method over the years and is still how he approaches hair today. Named one of the Top 100 Artists of all time by Modern Salon, his work has been featured on T.V. and on magazine covers over the last 3 decades. He has travelled the world with his wife Mary to share his passion, creativity, and love for this industry. https://bit.ly/mary-phillip --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hairstylist-podcast/message

Today we're talking about responsibility.  Before we get there, we discuss some tips about sponsored ads for Instagram.Todd was reading through a report from Modern Salon, and it sparked a thought about responsibility.  We run through a couple of the graphs from the report and chat about them.Why do people struggle to accept responsibility?Ego. At least, we think that's a big part of it.So what are the owner's responsibilities? Here's a short list we came up with:Building the business and assuming the riskLifting othersCreating opportunitiesManagement and leadershipSafetyQualityStaying on track, i.e., mission, vision, core valuesStaffingTrainingMarketingMoneyBudgetsProcessesSystemsOperationsInventoryTaxesInsuranceRentAgreementsEvaluationInnovationTechnologyCompliance and regulationsEducating the publicand a whole lot moreNow let's chat about some things that are not your responsibility as an owner.We understand many more examples exist; this isn't meant to be a comprehensive list.  Some things a business owner is NOT responsible for, such as happiness or building someone's book. Owners (should) want you to be happy and doing what your love. But that doesn't mean they're on the hook for your happiness. You find a way to be happy and bring it to the party.They're also not responsible for building your book. You are. Owners could feed you clients all day long, but if you're not doing your part and they're not coming back to see you, that's on you. You'll make progress when you genuinely take responsibility for the things that happen in your business.If you're not sure where to start, that's OK! But don't sit around waiting.Take action. If you cannot figure it out alone, that's also OK!

As you think about the ways you can work smarter in your salon this year, it is natural to think about setting boundaries and creating salon policies. By creating and implemeting salon policies, you are putting rules in place to help define your boundaries with yourself and with your clients.

Policies also help you set expectations with your clients which will essentially help protect you and your business.  Today's guest comes to us from Prarie Village, Kansas where he runs his business in a double sized Sola studio. Joey Figueiredo is one of our Faces of Sola, an educator, content creator, photographer, and when it comes to retail, Joey could sell ice to an eskimo.

Meagan Gallman has been a licensed cosmetologist for 14+ years. She is a Custom Color Specialist from Mississippi. The Beauty Industry has always intrigued Meagan, even as a small child. As someone that always knew she would be a part of the greatest industry in the world, being “just a hairdresser” was never an option. That is when her passion to connect with other like-minded stylists began to flourish. During her career, Meagan has become known for her advocacy for continuing education and her passion for teaching others in the industry. Meagan brings at least one newly graduated Cosmetologist into her salon per year and pours education into them as he or she assists with each guest. Her passion for education stemmed early in her career simply because there is plenty of room in our industry for everyone to succeed. Also, being from a small town, extended education opportunities were extremely limited in her area at the beginning of her career. Finding continuing educations were exceedingly difficult and not found locally. Assisting programs were completely nonexistent. She does her absolute best to pour every ounce of information possible into elevating stylists to ensure success for each and every stylist that she meets. Branded as a Sassy Southern Belle, Meagan brings her spicy personality into every custom hair creation for her guests. Known for her unique transformations on her Instagram (@megnaomihair,) she shines in Color Corrections, drastic Color Transformations, and styling. As a salon owner in her hometown and former salon manager in a neighboring city, her drive for business has created an incredible work ethic. Meagan is a Joico Master Artist, Olivia Garden Educator, Salon Owner, and Beauty Launchpad Magazine Education Team Member. In the last few years, Meagan's passion for Color Education has skyrocketed to a new level. Since being hired for Joico in 2017, Meagan has had the opportunities to work alongside and assisted onstage some of the most prestigious names in the beauty industry. And by doing so, she is easily able to share the JOI of Healthy Hair to other stylists eager to learn as well as teaching trending techniques that are friendly to both the novice and seasoned stylists. Meagan has been featured in several beauty magazine publications including, Modern Salon, Armstrong McCall, Sophisticates Hairstyle Guide, Salon Magazine UK, Mississippi Magazine, and received her first cover on Woman Entrepreneur Magazine. She is also a guest writer for multiple beauty publications. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Meagan opened her hair salon in June of 2020 and after being open for only 4 months, Meagan's salon, The Magnolia Parlor was voted Best Hair Salon in Mississippi for 2021. Although no one was surprised that Meagan decided to pursue a career in the beauty industry, many were not supportive. In fact, many people were very discouraging, and it is for that reason that Meagan has been quoted in saying, “You can't live your life dwelling on the past based on the cards you were dealt before. Suck it up, create your own luck, and then proudly present your Royal Flush.” meagangallman@gmail.com

In today's episode, I'm speaking with Platinum blonding extraordinaire, Sarai Speer. In this episode, Sarai and I dive deep into the blonde rules and give information every hair colorist knows and every client should. We also discuss low versus high maintenance and embracing your personal beauty.  For those of you who are not familiar with Sarai you may know her as the Platinum Giraffe on social media, or from her appearance on The Look All-Star on TV. She has been featured in BuzzFeed Cosmo, Pop Sugar, Sephora, Insider Beauty, The Today Show and Modern Salon. She is a nationwide educator and artistic director with Trionix and an Olaplex advocate. She is an expert at incredible hair transformation and is known in the industry for teaching her Platinum blonding techniques. Beauty Uncovered is brought to you by Olaplex, which invites you to go beyond the surface with the only system that rebuilds broken hair bonds. You can find out more at Olaplex.com   SHOW NOTES: Sarai’s background [1:37] If you’re considering blonde for the first time, a few things to consider [4:51] How to think about hair maintenance [20:42] Approaching insecurities and building confidence with beauty [32:30] A look at what Sarai carries in her bag [38:38]   RESOURCES:   Sarai's website: https://sustainbeauty.co/team/sarai-speer/ Sarai's Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/theplatinumgiraffe/     QUOTES: A lot of people just see these beautiful pictures, and they have no idea that blonde is not just a color, it's a commitment. It's a lifestyle.  If you find a good stylist who is patient, and can maintain the integrity of the hair, you can absolutely have blonde hair.  When people say I want to be blonde, Okay, awesome. Now what? It's all about figuring out what works for their lifestyle, their budget, and their upkeep. Communication is so important. I'm guaranteed to go to bed and wake up with one person; me, myself and I. So if I can look at myself every night and morning, and be like, you're doing okay! That is all that matters. As a stylist, I want to make sure that I'm doing everything on my end to ensure that beautiful color that you walk out with, is the color you keep, until the next time you see me. If you give a low maintenance person high maintenance hair, it doesn't matter if it's the most beautiful hair I've ever done in my whole life, they are going to be unhappy.

Coming from a family who has been in the industry since 1929, Gina Rivera, was destined to pursue a career in the world of beauty. From her early roots of sweeping hair from the floors of her parent’s salon, Gina attended beauty school and later moved to a booth renter salon where she quickly established a winning reputation. Clients loved her as she never let anyone leave without feeling amazing. And, the staff adored her because she was so open about sharing her knowledge and offering support where needed. Based on her learnings behind the chair, Gina realized not all salons are created equal and a majority of booth renters are usually provided very little support to ensure their success. With a passion for the industry, Gina became a fierce advocate for supporting the goals of Lifestyle Professionals who had the desire to operate their own salons, but perhaps lacked the financial resources.

For today’s show we’re bringing back an episode that some of you may see as an oldie  but a goodie! Early in the Fall of 2020 I was given the incredible opportunity to work with the Modern Salon team and Kati Whitledge to co-create an interview about what the industry has experienced going through in 2020. We talked about the permanent and temporary shifts we’ve seen because of the pandemic, and what we think are the best way to prepare for an uncertain future as we see second, and even third waves of closures. I’m especially excited because Kati is a salon owner who really knows what it’s like to go through shutdowns and how to navigate these times. I think this conversation will be inspiring, enlightening and insightful, even if you have heard it before! If you’re not already following us on Instagram, @thethrivingstylist, what are you waiting for? This is where I share pro tips every single week, along with winning strategies, testimonials and amazing breakthroughs from my audience. You’re not going to want to miss out on this!

On her way to becoming an Emmy-nominated hairstylist and department head (you’ve seen her work on NBC's Songland, ABC's Shark Tank, and NBC's The Voice), Jerilynn Stephens has used some pretty powerful “F” words. Not that “F” word (though maybe she dropped that bomb, occasionally) but a list of five words starting with “F” that distills her recipe for success into an impactful formula. Stephens even put it into a book, “The 5 “F” Words to Manifesting Your Life”. We asked her to tell us how these five words are coming in handy during this moment in time, as the world navigates the crisis caused by COVID-19. Read more about the 5 “F” Words on Modern Salon.

"Sometimes, when you think about yourself as a number two, you're really a number one." Often when it comes to change, there has to be someone willing to ask the question "Why are we doing things this way?"

They are the cofounders of ShearShare, the first on-demand salon and barbershop space rental app. ShearShare is the first Texas startup to win Google Demo Day, L’Oreal’s Women in Digital NEXT Generation Award, and Tech. Co’s Startup of the Year. The Caldwells’ work has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Fast Company, Forbes, Black Enterprise, Modern Salon, and Salon Today. They are alums of YC Fellowship and 500 Startups, two world-renowned programs for creating top-end entrepreneurs.

In this episode of Truth’s Table, Ekemini and Michelle are at the table with Mahisha Dellinger, Founder, and CEO of CURLS. Mahisha Dellinger's mantra is simple. Curly hair should be healthy, frizz-free, defined, and effortlessly fabulous. Consequently, as a beauty advocate and product innovator, Dellinger worked passionately to produce an award-winning line of organic hair care products for women and girls with natural waves, curls, and kinks. Frustrated with the lack of effective products for her newly natural, curly hair, Dellinger left her post as Marketing Manager at Intel Corporation to pursue her passion in giving consumers of naturally curly hair effective and eco-conscious products that are natural and safe for all ages to use. In 2002 Dellinger pioneered the newly natural market when she launched CURLS, a family of organic hair care products targeted for women embracing their natural textures ... a market previously unanswered by the beauty industry. Dellinger's astute business acumen and natural talent for delivering market-driven products gave way for an instant demand for her product line. Soon thereafter CURLS was available all over the United States, Canada, Brazil, Africa and the UK. As Chief Executive Officer and Founder of CURLS, Dellinger singlehandedly built a strong demand for her popular family of organic products. Soon Target, Sally Beauty, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Wal-Mart and CVS came knocking at her door. CURLS has partnered with these national retailers and is currently in negotiations with Boots in the United Kingdom. CURLS has been featured in a host of beauty publications including lnStyle, Essence, Glamour, Ebony, Juicy, Redbook, Lucky, Seventeen, Vibe, BlaBlack Enterprise, Elle, Modern Salon, Woman's World, Parents, and a host of other hair and salon trade publications. The retail success and exposure of the CURLS brand has catapulted the business forward. Dellinger is a sought after industry expert. Dellinger was the keynote speaker at her alumni school, California State University Sacramento's "Make Your Mark" conference sponsored by Target and Bishop TD Jakes’ Woman Thou Art Loosed Conference, to name a few. Dellinger has also been featured on several television shows throughout the nation. Dellinger is the star of “Mind Your Business with Mahisha” on OWN, Oprah Winfrey’s television network, as the expert helping other women based businesses reach the million-dollar mark.
