Manifestation for Hairstylists: Thought, Feeling & Aligned Action (Plus the 369 Method)

Jen Alden introduces The Sustainable Stylist podcast and shares an episode focused on manifestation for hairstylists, explaining it as a process of noticing and moving toward what you want with an open heart. She breaks her approach into three parts—thought (getting clear on what you actually want), feeling (letting yourself experience how good it will feel), and aligned action (small, easy next steps without hustling). She guides listeners through journaling prompts to envision a future life, choose one desire, identify the feelings it brings, rewrite limiting stories, and pick one aligned step for the week. Jen also teaches the 369 method—writing a present-tense gratitude sentence 3 times in the morning, 6 in the afternoon, and 9 at night for seven days—and mentions free printable journal pages in the show notes.

The Holistic Hairstylist: 4 Consultation Questions Every Stylist Should Ask Themselves

In this episode, I explain why I call myself the holistic hairstylist—because this work is more than skill or income; it includes mindset, heart, nervous system, and how the business affects you as a person. I share how starting in an all-organic salon shaped my approach and how I eventually realized caring about clients isn’t enough if I’m not caring for myself too. Then I walk through four consultation questions stylists should ask themselves: Where does it hurt (and how can you work for the long haul)? What have you been around all day (products, air quality, what you’re breathing in)? How much maintenance can you truly sustain (your schedule, buffers, energy)? And how do you want to feel when you walk out (including money, calm, pride, and energy).

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.
