In this episode of The Rooted Chair, Krysti gets real about one of the biggest questions behind the chair does working commission eventually hold you back, or is booth renting truly the path to growth and freedom?

You’ll hear the honest truth about both sides:
 ✨ When commission salons create stability and mentorship and when they start to stunt your growth.
 ✨ What it really takes to thrive as a booth renter without burning out.
 ✨ The financial reality, percentages, and profit potential of both models.
 ✨ How mindset, education, and structure shape your earning ceiling.
 ✨ Why stylists in big cities versus rural towns often choose different paths.

Krysti also shares what it’s really like balancing life as a full-time independent stylist, mom, and podcast host and how finding the right fit behind the chair can help you stay rooted, real, and radiant in every season of your career.
