  • 114: Your Exact Steps to Expand Beyond the Service Chair

    Are you feeling the pull to move beyond the service chair and wondering, “What’s the next step?” In this episode, I share the exact steps to take to evolve beyond lashes (or whatever service you specialize in) and step into new opportunities like education, product lines, coaching, or services for other beauty pros. I open up lessons I learned the hard way, things I wish I’d known sooner, and how to set yourself up for success when you’re essentially starting fresh in a brand-new lane.

    If you’ve been dreaming about building something bigger than your current service menu, this conversation will provide clarity and the permission slip you’ve been waiting for. I walk you through the branding questions, social media transitions (with real life examples) and the practical moves you need to make if you’re serious about growing your business in a new direction.

    What you’ll learn in this episode:

    • Do you really need a separate Instagram page when branching out?
    • How to figure out who your target audience is
    • The key difference between marketing to clients vs. other professionals (plus real examples)
    • How can you avoid confusing your audience when you’re juggling services and education? 
    • What brand values should you nail down before launching something new?
    • Why is “point A to point B” thinking a game-changer for your offers?

  • 112: Everything You Need to Know About Google Business Profile for Lash Artists and Beauty Businesses

    Is your lash business missing out on local clients just because you’re not showing up on Google? In this episode, I break down exactly why Google Business Profile is the underrated powerhouse for beauty biz owners and how it helped me get booked out (sometimes while casually walking through Target). Whether you’ve set it up already or you’re starting from scratch, this episode is your roadmap to turning clicks into clients without having to do the Instagram hustle 24/7.

    I share why it converts faster than social media, what details you absolutely cannot forget on your profile, and how to make your page irresistible to local searchers. Plus, I spill the tea on real results from my own business and clients who went from “is this working?” to “we’re booked out!” This is the long game that pays off big time, and it’s easier than you think.

    What you’ll learn in this episode:

    • What makes Google Business Profile way more high-converting than Instagram?
    • Why “just being on the map” isn’t enough and what to do instead
    • What are keywords and how can they boost your visibility?
    • How to ask your clients for reviews without being awkward or pushy
    • What kind of content should you post to your Google Business Profile?
    • What to look for in your analytics to know what’s working and what’s not
