What separates a good stylist from a great one? In this episode, we sit down with industry educator Katie Alm to talk about the unspoken habits and mindset shifts that set top stylists apart in today's competitive beauty industry. We cover everything from discipline, professional growth, and being of service — to why collaboration will always outlast comparison. Whether you're a salon assistant, an independent stylist, or a beauty educator, this episode dives deep into the leadership skills, daily discipline, and client-first mindset that fuel long-term success behind the chair. If you're looking to grow your beauty business, avoid burnout, and build a sustainable career in the salon industry — this one's for you.

If you want more opportunities, be willing to be available and be of service. Let no task be below you.  2. As an educator or leader, the person who is helping you is the most important person while under your care. 3. If someone challenges you when learning, let them. For every stylist that challenges you, there are 2-3 that won't.  4. How someone approaches learning is often how they'll approach their career.  5. If you want to grow in this career, all it requires is discipline. 6. You don't have to be a salon owner to be the final boss. You have to have the passion to feed your fellow community. 7. If you are giving 30% of your time to something, how can you expect 100% return? 8. The biggest thing that can kill your career is boredom. 9. Instead of hating on someone, collaborate with them.

One of the things that I constantly see in industry Facebook groups is how badly employees are paid, whether we're talking about apprentices, assistants or stylists… And that isn't country specific, it's a general trend of people feeling they're hard done by to the point of being exploited… But what I literally never see are comments about “How bad the productivity levels of the average hairdresser are.” And obviously that's part of the problem, because what you earn is always going to be a reflection of what you produce.  Join me as I share 15 key traits that set high-earning stylists apart and discover how you can transform your income without thinking you have to go self-employed or change salons. If you're ready to stop blaming and start earning, this episode is your roadmap to financial success in the salon industry.  RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Download the Guide: 15 Points for Financial Success as an employed stylist. IN THIS EPISODE: [00:55] Commitment to a positive outlook despite industry challenges[01:20] Observations about compensation complaints in industry Facebook groups[02:07] The connection between productivity and earnings in salons[02:56] Addressing the stylist's mindset about money and compensation[03:39] The reality of salon economics and owner struggles[05:11] Introducing the concept: "You don't get what you want, you get who you are"[06:01] Questions for stylists to assess their own productivity[07:04] Celebrating successful stylists in the industry[07:49] Introduction to "The Half Million Dollar Club" stylists[08:46] Discussion of stylists earning $200-250K annually behind the chair[10:15] Addressing the blame mentality and shifting to personal responsibility[10:51] Introduction to the 15 traits of financially successful stylists[15:47] Practical examples of what successful stylists do consistently  Want MORE to help you GROW?

As we all know, the economy is a little bit shaky right now, and desperate times call for desperate measures.

In this episode, I share how these charge-backs work, the way that they are processed, and how to protect yourself if you find yourself in this situation.  As we wade through these uncertain times, it's not about making things more difficult for the client, but it's about preparing yourself for success.

Active listening can improve our client satisfaction up to 40% which shows how important it is for our clients to feel they're heard. 3. Separate into 2 categories: the fun & not fun things. Policies & pricing allow you to be creative and enjoy the experience. The consultation is getting all sticky stuff out of the way to enjoy the rest of the service. 4. Hearing and listening are 2 different things, make sure you repeat your clients words back to them, share the plan, and then asking. 5. Over-communicate so the clients expectations match your expectations. 6. Under promise and over deliver. 7. Most of the time, a stylist who thinks she's giving a consultation might not match what a client thinks is considered a consultation. 8. Talk about what goes into the process and also what goes into th maintenance. 9. The consultation is the main dish of what we offer behind the chair, it's where trust is built, aligned goals are created, and a plan for future services are created. 10. By the time the cape is off, your client has mentally moved on to the next part of the day. 11. We're never recommending a product a client doesn't need. Try noting some questions you can integrate into your consultation ahead of time. 12. Break the consultation over different parts of the service with go-to questions you can visit during the service, and a closing consultation which is making sure you met the clients expectation and plan for next time. 13. Rather than assuming your client won't want it, assume they will because you've armed them with lots of information.

In the personal styling industry, many stylists are drawn to their profession for reasons deeper than just fashion. Often, their journey begins with a personal story of feeling unseen, unaccepted, or even disconnected from their true selves.  This emotional resonance not only brings them into the world of styling but shapes how they help others. By healing their own wounds, personal stylists develop a unique ability to guide clients through their own transformations. In today's episode we discuss this concept with Global Image Master Carla Mathis and The Style Core co-founder, Erin Mathis.

In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia dives deep into a game-changing topic that many hairstylists overlook: the massive potential of selling retail products and add-ons. Hunter starts by asking a thought-provoking question: What would an extra $10,000 in revenue do for you? He emphasizes that this isn't a distant dream, but an achievable reality by spending just a few extra minutes with each client.Key Takeaways:Why Stylists Avoid Retail and Add-Ons: Hunter notes that whenever he brings up retail and add-ons, the episode typically gets fewer downloads. Why? Stylists are missing out on one of the most essential opportunities to grow their income and impact client retention and satisfaction.Maximizing Your Average Ticket: The heart of the episode focuses on raising the average ticket—how much a client spends per appointment. Hunter breaks it down with easy-to-understand math: Selling just one $25 shampoo or offering a $25 add-on can increase your income by an extra $10K annually. He reminds listeners that it's not about working more hours but making the hours you work more profitable.The Power of Retail Sales: Selling retail is a high-return, low-time investment that can generate significant revenue. Spending five minutes discussing a product can earn you more per hour than most services. Hunter stresses that retail isn't just about more money in your pocket—it's about offering clients solutions and helping them maintain gorgeous hair between appointments.The Added Benefits of Retail and Add-ons:Higher Client Retention: Clients who are equipped with the right products will think of you every time they use them, leading to better loyalty and retention.Improved Service Outcomes: When clients use the right products at home, it makes your job easier and produces better results.Organic Referrals: Happy clients with great-looking hair naturally become walking advertisements for your business.Making Retail & Add-ons Work for You: Hunter lays out a plan to incorporate retail and add-ons seamlessly into your routine:Choose a product line you genuinely believe in and that aligns with your service style.Offer valuable, time-efficient add-ons that enhance the client's experience.Create a consistent sales routine, seamlessly recommending products throughout the entire appointment—not just at the end.Utilize affiliate links and online retail options to generate passive income even when clients aren't in the chair.Actionable Challenge: Hunter ends the episode with a challenge: look at your upcoming week, pick one client, and plan which products and add-ons you'll recommend. Set a goal, stay persistent, and don't be discouraged by initial "no's." Remember, consistency is key!Ready to increase your revenue without working more hours?
