In Part 2 of the Rebuilding From Scratch series, we’re diving into what it really takes to keep your dream hair clients in your chair in 2025—and spoiler alert: they don’t stay loyal unless you give them a reason to.

I’m breaking down the top 3 real-world retention strategies that are actually working behind the chair today, starting with one of the most overlooked truths in our industry:

👉 You have to tell your clients when to rebook—and make it happen before they leave.

This episode will help you:

• Create a rebooking culture that feels natural, not pushy
• Build lasting loyalty with personalized service
• Communicate with your clients beyond the chair in a way that feels aligned, not salesy
• Understand what makes a stylist memorable and rebookable in today’s oversaturated market
• Keep your books full without burning out or relying on constant new leads

If you're a hairstylist, booth renter, or salon owner trying to build a sustainable business—not just a busy one—this episode is for you.

Are you a hairstylist rebuilding your clientele from scratch or just starting out with an empty chair and big dreams? In this raw and honest episode of The Rooted Chair, I’m sharing exactly how I'm rebuilding my salon business from the ground up with no client list, no social media following, and no fluff.

After paying for rebuild guides from top industry stylists that left me feeling more lost than inspired, I created my own step-by-step strategy and I’m giving it all to you.

You’ll learn:

• How to grow a consistent clientele from scratch
• What actually works (and what doesn’t) when building your salon business
• Real-time marketing tips for hairstylists using Instagram
• Ways to attract and retain dream clients without ads or discounts
• How to stay mentally strong through slow seasons
• Branding tips for salon owners, booth renters, and stylists building solo

Whether you're fresh out of beauty school, moving to a new area, or rebuilding after burnout—this is the honest roadmap I wish I had.

🎧 Stay tuned for Part 2: How to KEEP your dream clients once they’re in your chair.

🎙️ Episode 1: Why I Started The Rooted Chair

In this very first episode, I’m sharing the heart behind The Rooted Chair—why I created this space, who it’s for, and what you can expect moving forward. 
After nearly 20 years in the beauty industry (and a break due to burnout, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and more), I found myself starting over behind the chair. I realized something: so many stylists are doing the same. 
Whether you're brand new, rebuilding, or feeling uninspired, this podcast is here to remind you that you're not alone. We’re talking real-life stylist stories, business growth, burnout recovery, pricing, boundaries, and how to build a career that actually feels good. If you’ve ever questioned your path or needed a place to reconnect with your purpose, this episode is for you.
