If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s smarter to hire a team or rent out rooms in your salon, this episode is going to give you so much clarity and confidence.

Today, I’m sitting down with Clarissa Saco - a cosmetic tattoo artist, mentor, investor, and salon owner who’s built an incredible career in the beauty industry. Clarissa bought her first salon at just 22 years old, and her journey since then has been filled with lessons about growth, resilience, and redefining success on her own terms.

In this episode, we dive into:
✨ How Clarissa went from young salon owner to confident landlord and mentor
✨ The pivotal moment that pushed her to rebuild her life after leaving an abusive relationship
✨ What she’s learned about financial independence, leadership, and creating freedom in business
✨ The real pros and cons of hiring staff vs. renting out rooms - and how to know which model fits you best

Clarissa’s story is such a powerful reminder that with the right skills, mindset, and support, you can create a business (and life) that truly lights you up.

If you’re a salon owner, beauty professional, or just someone dreaming of more independence, I know this episode will leave you inspired to take bold action - on your own terms.
