What Freedom Really Means for Hairstylists (and How to Start Creating It This Week)

In this episode of The Sustainable Stylist, I talk about what “freedom” actually means for hairstylists and why so many of us struggle to define it when we’re exhausted, overbooked, and answering client texts late at night. I share the four parts of freedom for me—charging what I want, working only with clients who light me up, setting my schedule without apologies, and building a business that supports the life I want—along with a personal decision to step away from working two days a week at a salon in LA to work exclusively from my home salon. I break down common fears like losing clients, being selfish, and not knowing what you’re doing, then offer a small starting point: reviewing your schedule with three questions and using my free Salon Schedule Reset, plus details on my upcoming Sustainable Stylist course coming in January.
