Every stylist goes through seasons—times of rapid growth, total burnout, quiet rebuilding, or big, bold change. In this episode, we’re breaking down the four phases of a stylist’s career (spring, summer, fall, and winter) and what each one can teach you. Whether you're just starting out or feeling the urge to pivot, you’ll walk away with clarity, encouragement, and ideas for how to grow through whatever season you're in.

In this “Dear Messy” episode, Abby and Kelsey team up to answer a message from a nail tech who’s opening a full salon — but struggling to find the right team.

Together, they unpack practical, creative, and realistic ways to approach hiring in 2025, including:

• How to brand your salon to attract stylists who fit
• Why building relationships is more effective than cold job posts
• The power of reaching out in your local community (yes, old-school works!)
• Creative ideas beyond Indeed: school visits, open house, and meet & greets
• Strategies for the short game and long-term growth

If you’re building a team or dreaming of opening your own salon one day, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to start strong.

I booked 6 new clients in 2 weeks. My Protégé Stylist booked 5.
And the best part? We didn’t spend a dime on ads.

In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the super simple email + social media strategy I’ve been using since December that’s finally paying off—and how using the same exact strategy helped Cede, a brand-new stylist, fill her books too.

I’ll walk you through:

• Why email should be your #1 marketing tool
• How to repurpose your emails into consistent social content
• Why repeating yourself is not annoying—it’s smart
• The importance of making booking ridiculously easy

If you’re stuck in a marketing rut or trying to help a new stylist grow, this is the episode to tune into.
