What happens when the scissors go down… and the beauty brushes come out?

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by the amazing Sam—a former hairdresser who made the bold decision to leave the salon chair behind and dive into the world of beauty therapy. This is an open, honest conversation about career pivots, burnout, passion, and redefining success.

We talk about:

• Why Sam walked away from hairdressing after years in the industry

• What the shift into beauty therapy really looked like—both the highs and the hard parts

• Key differences between the hair and beauty industries

• The impact of burnout and how Sam found a healthier balance

• Real advice for stylists thinking about switching paths

💬 Thinking of leaving the hair industry? You’re not alone—and no, it’s not failure. It’s evolution.

If you’re a stylist feeling stuck, burnt out, or just wondering “what’s next?”—this episode is for you.

Ever wondered why a balayage costs more than just “a bit of bleach”? Or why your stylist charges what they do? In this episode, we’re breaking down the real cost of working behind the chair—no filters, no fluff.

This is the honest conversation the hair industry (and clients!) have been needing.

We’ll dive into:

🔍 What really goes into salon pricing—from product costs to time and training

💸 A breakdown of average UK salon prices (and why they vary so much)

🎓 The years of education, investment, and ongoing learning involved

⏱️ Why you’re paying for skill, not just time in the chair

🙅‍♀️ And why “mates’ rates” needs to be left in the past

💬 Real price examples:

• Cut & Blow-dry: £40–£80

• Full Head Highlights: £100–£180

• Balayage: £120–£250

• Root Tint: £40–£70

• Toner: £20–£40

Your stylist isn’t overcharging—you’re just seeing the value laid bare.
