In this episode, we break down why your personal pay should be the nucleus of your business and how everything else, pricing, expenses, capacity, and growth, should be built around it. We challenge the common belief that you pay yourself after everything else is covered and explain why that mindset keeps so many business owners underpaid, overwhelmed, and stuck.

We talk through how to think about your income intentionally, how profit and loss play into your pay, and why sustainable scaling starts with clarity around what you actually need your business to provide. If you’re ready to stop treating your paycheck like an afterthought and start building a business that supports your life, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, we break down what you actually need to consider when pricing your services and paying yourself consistently. We talk profit margin, the danger of trend-based pricing, and why keeping up with competitors (or throwing out random numbers) is often the fastest track to burnout and failure.

This conversation is about slowing down to scale smarter, building prices that support your goals, your capacity, and your life, not just what looks good on Instagram.

If you want a business that sustains you long-term instead of constantly chasing the next price jump, this episode will help you rethink how you approach money and pay.

In this episode, we break down the smart approach to Black Friday and promotional sales, one that protects your margins, respects your capacity, and actually supports long-term growth. We talk about why most beauty businesses approach promos backwards, how to use numbers (not emotions) to guide decisions, and how to create offers that make sense for your business model.

This conversation is about intention over impulse. If you’ve ever felt unsure, overwhelmed, or tempted to discount just because “everyone else is,” this episode will help you approach promos with clarity and confidence.

If you avoid looking at your finances, feel overwhelmed by taxes, or don’t have a clear plan for your money, this episode is for you.

We break down the money habits that quietly keep beauty professionals stuck, from ignoring the numbers to operating from fear instead of strategy. We talk about how these patterns lead to self-sabotage and why having no system in place can set your business up for failure before it even grows.

We also share practical ways to change this, including simple tools like Adriana’s bookkeeping spreadsheet, now available on our website, designed to help you track your money with clarity and confidence.

No shame. Just better habits, better systems, and better outcomes.

Burnout isn’t just personal, it’s financial.

LLC? Sole Prop? S-Corp?

Most beauty pros know these words… but not what they mean for their money, their taxes, or their long-term business goals.

In this episode, Adriana (your tax expert & resident business-structure queen) breaks down the real differences between Sole Proprietorships, LLCs, S-Corps, and C-Corps in a way that actually makes sense. We talk about what each structure means for your taxes, your liability, your profit, and your paycheck, and Haley shares her real-world experience transitioning her beauty business with professional financial guidance.

If you’ve ever felt confused, intimidated, or straight-up misinformed about how to legally structure your beauty biz… this is the clarity you’ve been waiting for.

This isn’t legal advice, it’s real-world guidance to help you stop guessing and start making informed CEO decisions.

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the hardest parts of being a beauty pro: setting realistic client expectations without feeling rude, cold, or insensitive. We break down how to communicate clearly, protect your time, and create boundaries that support both your sanity and your business, even when it feels uncomfortable.

From response times to treatment expectations to the “I need you right now” messages, we’re talking about the scripts, mindset shifts, and communication habits that help you run your business like a CEO, not a 24/7 crisis hotline.

If you’ve ever bent over backwards for clients and paid for it later, this episode is your permission slip to do better… and feel better doing it.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the real cost of sales, promos, and “quick little discounts” that everyone swears will bring in more clients, but often end up eating your profit. We’re talking about how discounts show up in your Profit and Loss (P&L), how they impact both your business income and your personal paycheck, and why separating the two is one of the smartest CEO moves you can make.

If you’ve ever wondered why you’re fully booked but still not seeing the money you expected… this episode is your wake-up call.

🎧 Press play and let’s talk about the math behind your money.

Every beauty pro has a story...and ours? Definitely not the “perfectly planned CEO” kind.

In this episode, we’re getting real about how we were both thrust into entrepreneurship without a roadmap nor investors, just grit, Google, and a whole lot of caffeine. We’ll share the messy middle moments that shaped us, the mindset shifts that kept us going, and the decisions that turned survival mode into scaling season.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re just winging it in your business (same, sis), this one’s for you. Because the truth is: success doesn’t start with a plan, it starts with a push.

In this first episode, we’re pulling up a chair (and knocking over microphones) to tell you who we are, how we got here, and why this podcast exists in the first place. Think of it as your intro to the biz big sisters you didn’t know you needed.

We’ll talk about what “scaling beautifully” actually means — hint: it’s more profit, less burnout — and share a few quick tips to help you stop trading time for money like you’re stuck in 2016.

If you’re ready to move from booked-and-broke to peaceful-and-paid, hit play. Let’s make your beauty biz the kind that pays you like the boss you are.
