Welcome back to the HairChairBoss Podcast!
In this episode, Angelina breaks down the four natural phases every self-employed hairstylist goes through — and why knowing which phase you’re in is the key to moving forward with clarity and confidence.

When Angelina first started as a chair renter, she didn’t even see herself as a business owner. That mindset held her back until she realized that being behind the chair isn’t just about doing hair — it’s about running a real business. Over her 30+ years of experience, she’s identified the exact patterns stylists move through and the challenges that come with each stage.

✨ Angelina reveals the 4 phases of growth, how to spot which one you’re in, and the specific next steps that will move your business forward without burnout or second-guessing.

💡 Key Takeaway:
You don’t have to do all the things at once. When you know what phase you’re in, you’ll know what to focus on — and what to stop worrying about.

🎧 Listen now to:

Discover the 4 phases of the hairstylist journey

In this episode, Angelina dives into one of the hardest lessons she learned the hard way: caring for clients without setting boundaries.

When she first started, Angelina thought saying “yes” to every request — early mornings, late nights, days off — would make her more accommodating and attract more clients. But over time, this flexibility turned into mismanaging her schedule, costing her time, money, and energy.

✨ Angelina shares her personal story, the real cost of over-accommodating, and her proven strategies for creating boundaries that support both your clients and your well-being.

💡 Key Takeaway:
Caring without boundaries isn’t sustainable. Setting clear limits isn’t selfish — it’s essential for protecting your business, your time, and your sanity.

🎧 Listen now to discover how to balance genuine client care with boundaries that help you build a thriving, sustainable business behind the chair.

It’s amazing how a shift in perspective can give you the clarity and courage you’ve been waiting for. A lot of independent hairstylists stay stuck in salon environments that drain them — mentally, emotionally, and even financially — because of fear, guilt, or comfort zone traps.

When you're not thriving in your salon space, it’s often a sign that something is out of alignment — and staying stuck only delays your growth.

When you listen to the Hairchair Boss Episode 48, you'll learn the clear signs it’s time to move on — and how to do it with confidence, purpose, and power. Don’t miss this one!

Hairstylists tend to be on the giving end, not on the receiving side. If you’re in the service industry, giving so much of your time, creativity and energy to make your client feel good and look good, you are the “giving” type of person.

Knowing how to receive takes practice. In this episode, I give you tools on how you can be more on the receiving end so that you are open to receiving great clients and open to receiving great money, without feeling guilt or whatever else may pop up in your mind. In reality, that  just the act of receiving and being comfortable with receiving is going to help you get out of your own way. More at www.Hairchairboss.com
