Did you know that the average hairstylist makes $40,000/year? I’m on a mission to change that!

I’ve been in this industry for 20 years now, self-employed for 11 of those. I’d be lying if I said it’d been all smooth sailing. The truth is there’s been a lot of ups and downs, especially in my journey as a self-employed salon owner.

I remember the first year I hit the 6-figure mark, it was so exciting. But I didn’t take home 6-figures.

When I first started out in the industry, no one ever taught me how to properly handle refund requests or negative reviews. The thought of one made me so anxious.

I had so many questions…

• What would I say?

• How would other people react?

• Would people think I’m a failure?

• What if no one ever wants to see me again?

• What should I do to make them happy?

And no one was giving me any answers.

I’m not shy to say I’ve had my fair share of mistakes… you know, like the BIGGEST hair mistake I ever made and how I handled it all wrong.

That being said, I’ve also learned a LOT. Like how to transform a client with natural brunette hair into a bright, blonde bombshell in a single session. Yup, you heard that right.

I’m walking you through step-by-step in this brunette foilyage tutorial so you can get stunning results that will WOW your clients and save you time and money.

It’s like when you have a color correction booked in and you stress about it and try to formulate your plan before even seeing your client’s hair. Color corrections used to keep me up at night.

I gotta be honest, I didn’t think I’d be so bummed to see this series come to an end!

It was such a treat to spend so much time with Lindsay, chatting about so many different topics. Did you listen to the first four parts? They’ve been so good, right?!

(If you haven’t you might wanna check them out after you listen to this one.)

Well, I think we’re ending the series with the best one (but I might be a little biased), we went a little rogue, as Lindsay puts it.

Today’s episode is all about FAITH *cue George Michael singing: “I gotta have faaiitthhh”.

Can you believe we’re on part 4 of The Anxious Creative Makes Waves? Have you been listening since part 1 (can you believe an entire month has already gone by since that episode came out?! This year is truly flying).

This week’s episode is all about communication. Lindsay and I LOOOOOVE talking about communication.
