But now you’re ready to lay the foundation for your business’s evolution. Whether you’re chasing your next revenue goal or stuck in old patterns that have p...

When you don’t have new clients lined up, it’s tempting to whip up a brand-new offer, slash the price, and call it a solution. It gives you a quick dopamine hit, but it’s panic mode, not strategy. And that cycle of tweaking and adding services is one of the fastest ways to burn out your styling business.

Every new offer isn’t just the service itself. It comes with hidden jobs: packaging it, building systems to deliver it, and market...

It’s time for a wake-up call. If you’re a stylist feeling stuck despite doing all the things, yet hesitate to invest in your growth to get unstuck, then you need to be aware of some uncomfortable truths…ones that too many business owners don’t want to say out loud. 

In this episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, I’ll show you three truths that will either give you the clarity to take action investing in your business or...

You don’t find out if your styling business is healthy by looking at likes or followers. You find out by looking at your repeat client rate. That number tells you the truth about whether your business is built to last.

When clients come back, it’s never just about the service they booked once. It proves that your marketing, your pricing, your offers, and your delivery are all working together. And when they don’t, that’s the cleares...

Are you running a styling business built on referrals and SEO alone? Then you’re risking your livelihood in a constant game of Russian roulette.

Many personal stylists (especially those with early success) fall into the trap of relying exclusively on referrals or search engine optimization for business growth. While it's certainly nice to have client recommendations and traffic from word-of-mouth and Google, this can leave your...

Looking to scale your styling business with the launch of a course or other passive product? You might be making a HUGE mistake!

Many stylists rush into passive products without a solid foundation. They're trying to scale like online course creators instead of understanding how luxury businesses truly grow.

Feeling stuck is a universal experience for all business owners, even established ones with over 20 years of experience. It’s never too early or too late to invest in mentorship to help get you unstuck. 

Yet, many entrepreneurs never take that plunge and either remain stuck or choose the difficult and long road of figuring it out the hard way. If you’re hesitating to invest in coaching, perhaps hearing from personal stylists who’ve ...

When it comes to investing in your styling business, it’s not about how much you spend. It’s about the order in which you invest. Many stylists waste money on things that look good when they haven’t done the essential foundational work to pull it all together.

So if I were starting a styling business today, how exactly would I invest in it? After spending over half a million dollars on business expenses, I can offer a powerful, prov...

“What type of personal stylist do you want to be?”

That’s the question I posed on the show a few weeks ago when I defined the three types of personal styling. Now I’m going to further define two of the ones I outlined, transactional and transformational styling.

So, let’s kick off this transactional vs transformational styling series and dive a little deeper into what being a transactional personal stylist looks like in action!

Have you ever given yourself space to think about how you want to show up as a stylist?

People (including stylists) often get different types of stylists mixed up. The way many in the industry tend to market themselves only contributes to that confusion.

However, each kind of personal styling has its own hallmarks, limitations, and skill sets. I’ve broken them down into three categories: retail, transactional, and transformational. I...

Some personal stylists make running a business look easy. Gab Saper is one of those people, but what makes her business look effortless now is everything she had to shift to get here. Over the last few years, Gab has refined her systems, clarified who she really wants to work with, and made changes behind the scenes that helped her feel like a true professional, not just someone piecing it together as she goes.

You’re showing up. You’re posting content. You’ve got offers you believe in. But the momentum you expected still isn’t there.

Before you change your services or redo your content plan, ask yourself this. Is your marketing actually saying something real, or are you just saying what feels safe?

Consumer spending patterns are shifting. While we're not technically in a recession as of May 2025, discretionary spending has slowed by $2 billion month-over-month, and people are becoming more cautious with their purchases—even when their bank accounts remain healthy. If you've noticed it's been harder to sign clients lately, you're not imagining it.

Ever had a sales call that felt like magic? The client was quoting your content, totally lit up, and seemed like they were ready to sign. And then, they vanished or said, “No.” That ghosting gut punch can shatter your confidence, but it’s not a reflection of failure. 

In this episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, I talk about why these ghosting scenarios happen and how you can leverage them for growth. You’ll discover ...

Are you getting ghosted on sales calls and attracting hesitant clients? The culprit might be a seemingly small detail with enormous ripple effects on your business: how you talk about your sales call in your marketing. If your website or social media uses vague, "cutesy" language for booking, you might be unintentionally repelling your ideal clients.
