If your beauty business feels like it's going round in circles, you're not lazy. You're not bad at this. And you're probably not doing as much wrong as you think. I know what it's like to build a beauty business in the small windows of time that are actually yours when raising children too.

I used to dread hearing from my accountant. Here's what changed… I had a quarterly review call with my accountant this week. And I want to talk about it, because the version of me from a few years ago would have absolutely dreaded that call. Honestly? Anything to do with money in my beauty business used to make me anxious. Accountants, numbers, quarterly reviews... I'd put it off, avoid it, bury my head completely. And I know I'm not alone in that. But here's what I had to ge

"Fake it till you make it" vs "Wing it till you bring it"... which one are you? 👇 I was sitting in my amazing hairdresser's chair last week and we got onto the topic of business journeys, hustle, and how we ACTUALLY got to where we are. He said something that stopped me mid-sentence... “I don't fake it till I make it. I wing it till I bring it.” And honestly? That caught my attention & I found myself thinking about that one sentence for the rest of the day. Because

Can I be honest with you? Most of the beauty business owners I speak to aren't struggling because they're not good enough. They're not struggling because they don't have the talent. They're struggling because nobody ever taught them the business side. And these three things? I see them every. single. week. 👉 Fully booked one month, silent the next 👉 Undercharging because they're scared of losing clients 👉 Burning out doing all the things with nothing to show for it If you

Last June I closed my salon of 11 years. And honestly, it was the best thing I did for me. Now don't get me wrong, I don't regret that business one bit. It had SO many happy memories, so many achievements and wins- we were award winning. But towards the end, I couldn't serve my business like it needed and I had lost all my passion for it. As a solo mum, I was trying to split myself in to so many different directions and I just couldn't do it anymore. The mental load was beco

More clients isn't always the solution.. and this is where most beauty therapists are getting it wrong. Most beauty pros think: "I just need to get busier… fill more appointments… take more clients." But if your prices are too low…more clients just means more work for little to no extra profit. Let’s say you’re charging £30 per treatment… To earn more, you now need: - more clients - longer days - less breaks And that’s how you end up: - fully booked - exhausted - and still no

Charging too cheap. I will just straight to the chase- that is one of the biggest mistakes I made when I first started in the beauty industry. Just copying what others were charging, under cutting the "competition" by a few pounds, not knowing how to work out my prices or what my business costings were. I just had no clue. No one had ever taught me how to work out my pricing when I was training and so I went in to business blind- and it cost me! For years, I was working for l

Sometimes it can feel a little lonely and overwhelming owning a beauty business and we just crave talking to people that truly get it. Not your partner, friend or family member that cannot fully relate.. but fellow beauty pros that just get it. That's why I have created FREE monthly networking zoom calls open to ANYONE in the beauty industry. Whether you are brand new to business, currently training, years and years of experience- this is a safe space for everyone. A relaxed

"There is no money in beauty" This is what someone said to me last week. And it made me feel so sad when I read the message. A potential student that has always wanted to get in to beauty and is debating whether to start her training to provide more freedom and flexibility for her family. But from leaving school, she has put off going into the beauty industry because she was told "there is no money in it" And you know what, when I first started out, I believed the same. Do yo
