We’re back, baby! Season 5 of Beauty Bound kicks off with Cristal Rubio of Beauty Pro Bookkeeping joined by returning guest Thrisha Hamilton, owner of Bohemian Bombshell Salon Collective in San Antonio, TX—and this time, she’s bringing the real tea on building a salon team the RIGHT way.This isn’t your typical polished salon biz chat. It’s laughs, mom life chaos, a little cussing (for emphasis), and major lessons on what it really takes to run a profitable, thriving salon collective.What You’ll Learn in This Episode✅ Employees vs. Booth Rent vs. 1099• Why 1099 “commission employees” are risky and often illegal• What defines an independent contractor vs. employee• How Thrisha balances W2 staff with booth renters✅ The Real Cost (and Payoff) of Employees• Payroll, taxes, and benefits add up—but so does loyalty• How investing in people grows your brand long-term✅ Salon Culture & Collective Growth• From one-woman studio to thriving collective• Why collaboration beats competition• How cross-referrals keep every chair busy✅ Extensions & Client Confidence• Evolution from tape-ins to hidden bead methods• Katie & Giselle’s growth as stylists• How transformations build client trust and retention✅ Faith & Authenticity in Beauty• Bringing your full self—even faith—behind the chair• Why authenticity attracts the right clients✅ Merch & Branding• Rebrand + remodel that built salon identity• Merch that turns clients into walking ads• Cohesive branding that’s instantly recognizable✅ Tools Every Salon Owner Needs• Boulevard for booking, SalonScale for pricing• Mentorship to avoid undercharging and missteps✅ Motherhood & Salon Ownership• Running a salon with a newborn in tow• Why a strong team makes maternity leave possible👇 KEY TAKEAWAYSEmployees Beat 1099sMost “commission 1099s” are misclassified. If you set hours, branding, or products, they’re employees. Go legit with W2s or true booth rent.Profit Takes TimeEmployees mean payroll and taxes, but also growth, loyalty, and a scalable brand. Think long-term, not just quick margins.Authenticity WinsClients return for real conversations and personality. Be yourself and attract the right people to your chair.Smart Tools MatterUse Boulevard for bookings, SalonScale for pricing, and mentorship to avoid undercharging. The right systems pay off.Merch = Walking AdsTees, hats, and sweaters keep clients repping your brand outside the salon.Collaboration Over CompetitionAt Bohemian Bombshell, teamwork fuels growth. Support each other and the whole brand gets stronger.🖥 *Follow Us for More:**Cristal Rubio* (Beauty Pro Bookkeeping): https://www.instagram.com/beautyprobookkeeping | https://www.beautyprobookkeeping.com*Matt Nelson* (Peachtree Rose Marketing): https://peachtreerosemarketing.com | https://www.instagram.com/officialmattnelson/*Connect with us on all our social medias*https://www.instagram.com/beautyboundtx/https://www.facebook.com/BeautyBoundTXhttps://www.tiktok.com/@beauty.bound

🎙 *What You’ll Learn in This Episode*✅ *Why Niching Down Matters*• Why trying to “do it all” burns beauty pros out faster than bleach on fragile hair• Case studies: from “Brows by Jez” @browsbyjez facials-only estheticians who built thriving careers• How niching helps you attract better clients and scale your business✅ *Websites vs. Just Social Media*• Why most estheticians and salon owners still don’t have websites (and why that’s hurting them)• Cristal’s revelation during Smooth Connections networking: “No website, no business credibility”• The truth about Google reviews, virtual addresses, and why Instagram isn’t enough✅ *The Outsourcing Lesson*• Why cutting costs on marketing and social media often costs more in the long run• Cristal’s real talk on canceling her social media service — and regretting it fast• The power of outsourcing so you can focus on what you love most✅ *Client Perception = Everything*• Why professionalism matters even in colorful, bold industries like beauty• The danger of venting “behind the chair” or in front of clients — and what to do instead• Real stories from salons, restaurants, and even grocery stores where professionalism slipped✅ *Season 5 Sneak Peek*• New logo. New music (shoutout to Briar!). New energy.• Teasers of upcoming guests — from holistic wellness leaders to salon & spa owners to teeth-whitening entrepreneurs• Why Season 5 is shaping up to be the boldest, most value-packed yet💬 *Fan-Favorite Moments*🤣 Cristal forgetting her own name in the intro👏 The ADHD banter between Cristal & Matt (“Beauty Brown!” anyone?)💥 Cristal calling out beauty pros who don’t have websites😬 Matt overhearing the most unprofessional workplace vent session at a diner👀 Cristal admitting she canceled her social media service — and instantly regretted it🎶 The excitement around the brand-new Beauty Bound beats👇 *Key Takeaways*🎯 *Niche to Grow*Stop trying to do it all. Pick one service you love most and go all in. The fastest-growing beauty pros specialize.💻 *A Website Isn’t Optional*Social media is borrowed land. A website is your digital home. Without one, potential clients (and collaborators) will question if you’re really in business.📦 *Outsource to Scale*Doing everything yourself is a recipe for burnout. Invest in marketing, social, and bookkeeping support so you can focus on your craft.👓 *Perception Matters*What clients see (and overhear) matters. Professionalism isn’t about being stiff — it’s about making clients feel confident in your services.🚀 *Beauty Bound is Growing*From new branding to new music and a killer guest lineup, Season 5 is a turning point.

Everything you do for your business can be an investment—but only if it alignswith your brand, your events, and your long-term goals.
