The beauty industry has changed dramatically in the last 10 years.

The days of hoping your good reputation and referrals was enough to grow or maintain your clientele died out and successful stylists today need a real marketing strategy.

It's actually never been easier to grow a clientele as a hair stylist or a business as a salon owner, yet stylists are giving up or struggling more often than they are thriving in this incredible industry.

When I was first building my clientele, I realized immediately that nobody was teaching true business skills and long term strategies to stylists or salon owners. What good is a license and an entrepreneurial passion without the skills and knowledge to actually make big things happen?

The Thriving Stylist podcast is a collection of interviews from super successful but not yet famous stylists, one-on-one coaching opportunities and actionable, strategic marketing techniques that you can use in your business today to see real results.

I'm Britt Seva, Social Media & Marketing Strategist for Hair Stylists and I look forward to helping you to create a wealthy life as a stylist.

    The pricing crisis and how we got here

    I’ve been speaking about what I call “The Great Divide” for years now, and let me tell you, we are in it! In this episode, I want to go deeper and look at the pricing crisis we find ourselves in right now, and the important things to keep in mind as we operate our businesses in today’s environment.

    If you’re pre-booking clients right now, this episode will be an eye-opener because doing this really works against all of the things I preach and coach to in Thrivers. 

    In this episode, I want to go deeper and look at how pre-booking in our industry has changed, because there is a lot to understand and consider about this topic. 

    I also want to break down some of the patterns and challenges I see, so you can determine whether pre-booking is really good for your business and whether it has a positive or negative impact on not only your business, but your lifestyle!

Im Britt’s biggest fan!

I’ve been a listener for 2+ years and have listed to the episodes over and over again! Britt and The Thriving Stylist does not disappoint!

I do have a question though! I am currently going through a rebrand. I have changed my name from The Blonding Bar to Tehya Rose Beauty, because it was getting confusing for clients as I’m an independent contractor in an established salon.

The rebrand has been received well and everyone loves it! However, I’m a total ghost on Google now. Anytime I search hairstylist in *my city* or hair salon in *my city* I don’t show up! At all! I’m wondering if this is why I’m growing slow.. a break in my funnel?? I have 13 reviews currently and a website linked to the google business profile.. what am I missing???

Love love love the Thriving Stylist Podcast

I’ve been a hairstylist for 32 years and a salon owner for 21 technology has been a part of my business from the get-go and I can 100% say that Britt Seva’s podcast and her program our society is the most up-to-date and informative information out there for a hairstylist, looking to grow or scale their business. Thank you Britt you really deliver.

LIFE changing

I am in my third year of listening to this podcast religiously. I was a Thriver in the past, took a brief break, and i am back! Britt is so knowledgeable, she teaches based on evidence and research THAT I can get down with. The things I’ve learned from The Thriving Stylist Podcast throughout my journey of becoming a solo salon suite owner are life-changing. The confidence I’ve gained, the knowledge along with the statistical facts behind the knowledge, the community support have all propelled me into being extremely successful. My business grew 124% last year, and I can credit a lot of that to the teachings Britt continues to share. Thank you so much Britt for being consistent, reliable and passionate.
I just listened to the latest episode on why pre-booking could be hurting our businesses. I’m totally on board but my burning question is what do we do instead? I’ve only briefly seen some things on clients taking charge of booking online exclusively but I have no idea what the details are. I’m so curious, what do you suggest?
