Why mastering one thing first leads to massive success 🎯

Are you trying to do everything at once—stylist, educator, salon owner, content creator? 🤯 Before you dive headfirst into all the things, Gina Sicard (@iamginabianca) breaks down the #1 mistake stylists make when building their careers.

And, let’s be real—social media makes it look too easy to be an overnight success. But what’s the actual roadmap? 🤔

🔥 Your Day Off Podcast x Beauty Launchpad collab is HERE 🔥
In this episode, Corey Gray & Gabby Bach (@gabbymarieedits) of @beautylaunchpad sit down with Gina to talk about:

✅ Why your first 3-5 years should be all about skill mastery ✂️
✅ The truth about booth rental vs. commission (and why so many stylists struggle)
✅ How to price your services without sticker-shocking clients 💰
✅ The real reason salons don’t always make more money as they grow
✅ The key to social media that actually builds your business—not just likes 📱

And, of course, AI & ChatGPT for hairstylists – Is it the future or just hype? 🤖

💬 Here’s the takeaway: The best stylists don’t chase everything at once. They dominate one thing first, then expand. Are you focusing on the right steps for your career? 🚦
