Hello Everyone! On this weeks episode of Rooted at West Oak Emily and I discuss how to build a luxury brand as a hairstylist in 2026. It can definitely be tricky figuring out who, what, when, where and why when it comes to your beauty business so we figured we would share a portion of our 2 cents!

Remember, what works for us may not work for you and vice versa. That's okay! This is just what works for us! (:
