#279 - How AI Will Disrupt Color Specialists, Social Media, & Education

The beauty industry has changed dramatically in the last 10 years.  

The days of hoping your good reputation and referrals was enough to grow or maintain your clientele died out and successful stylists today need a real marketing strategy.

It's actually never been easier to grow a clientele as a hair stylist or a business as a salon owner, yet stylists are giving up or struggling more often than they are thriving in this incredible industry.  

When I was first building my clientele, I realized immediately that nobody was teaching true business skills and long term strategies to stylists or salon owners.  What good is a license and an entrepreneurial passion without the skills and knowledge to actually make big things happen?

The Thriving Stylist podcast is a collection of interviews from super successful but not yet famous stylists, one-on-one coaching opportunities and actionable, strategic marketing techniques that you can use in your business today to see real results.

I'm Britt Seva, Social Media & Marketing Strategist for Hair Stylists and I look forward to helping you to create a wealthy life as a stylist.
