Do you have to be a groundbreaking entrepreneur to be successful in this industry?

Weighing up the risks and benefits of being an employer or employee this week is my guest, Sarah Louise, a dedicated mum and passionate hair stylist with a flair for transforming looks and boosting confidence. After being involved in the beauty industry for over a decade, she shares her honest experiences from starting as a reluctant apprentice to flourishing as a successful business owner and hair extension entrepreneur. She’s changed the rules of the game and now manages her own team of staff with a booming social media platform. But that’s not to say it hasn’t been without its challenges. We get candid about what she wishes she was told early on in her career by other beauty business owners, including valuable advice about facing financial challenges, deciding when (or if!) it’s better to branch out on your own and navigating tough industry competition. Sarah Louise shares her best practical and actionable strategies as we acknowledge the sometimes harsh reality of running a business, alongside the hugely rewarding results of building a passionate community and fostering personal connections with like-minded people. Tune in as we embrace the highest of highs and lowest of lows that come from being an entrepreneur in the beauty industry.

We’ll explore:
💇‍♀️ Considering sustainable business models that suit your long-term goals
💇‍♀️ Creating a strong brand image and loyal community to retain customers
💇‍♀️ Mentoring and comparison between competitors and encouraging sharing of knowledge
💇‍♀️ Building resilience and adaptability skills in business as it grows

I want to empower women in the beauty industry to create an impact, build an empire, and leave their legacy!

It’s so easy to look at someone’s social media page and think - wow, they’re so lucky, an overnight success! But what that green-eyed monster doesn’t see is the sweat, tears, and years of hard work behind the scenes that goes into it. Our very first guest is Kailah Lee, who is a force to be reckoned with in the beauty industry. Merging her two past careers in the hairdressing then corporate worlds, she has created a bridal service empire that has taken over the Perth beauty scene. She’s also created her own business mentorship program to help other businesswomen create their own success, based on her own experiences and challenges that she’s powered through and overcome. She built her second multi-6-figure brand in less than 8 months, and has helped clients go from $3k months to $12k in 90 days.

We talk about everything business but also dive into some personal stories, from choosing hairdressing over university, ADHD, working on your subconscious dialogue, and being grateful after her mum’s death. Kailah Lee is hilariously unapologetic and authentic as she shares her best tips on how scarcity is just a mindset, and that focusing on an experience instead of sales is the best way to see an immediate increase in your revenue - and it’s one you deserve.

We’ll be taking you through an emotional rollercoaster of:
❤️‍🔥 Overcoming a scarcity mindset and reframing it with abundance as a focus
❤️‍🔥 Enhancing client experiences to increase value perception
❤️‍🔥 Automating systems and processes to allow your business to grow sustainably
❤️‍🔥 Living authentically and learning to prioritise your values alongside your business

I want to empower women in the beauty industry to create an impact, build an empire, and leave their legacy!

So this episode is dedicated to all of you - all the unseen work that you do behind the scenes, those late nights spent accommodating clients, the hours spent perfecting your craft. I can’t wait for you to take back your power and form a boss mindset, and get inspired for all the opportunities that are going to come your way!

I’ll break down:
🧘‍♀ Current statistics and trends of success and failure in the beauty industry
