Blowouts, Brazilians and... Babies??

Competition in beauty biz
You walk down the street and there's barbershop after barbershop- with at least 10 or more barbers in there. Every single barbershop is busy-& everyone has their own clientele, everyone is booked and clientele continues to come in and out. Nobody is worried who's busier than who, sometimes clients jump from barber to barber because they want a specific time, maybe they didn't vibe with you (and to be honest.. who wants to sit in a chair and not vibe), maybe you're not a bad barber and you just don't know how to cut their texture hair- it's not worth belittling yourself as to why someone stopped coming to you. Worry about the clientele you do have and let the others go!
Do you think INNOUT is worried what a McDonalds across the street is doing? some people prefer convenience over quality- and that's ok! some prefer McDonalds over InNout& THAT'S OK!
remember that its not you, and even if it was you .. Who cares!!! if its meant to be they will come back to you.
Repeat after me:
I am an amazing ________.(enter profession)
I am talented.
I am unique.
I am one of a kind!
-in this podcast we talk a bit of "competition", how to balance work and life and how we came up with with Hot stuff esthetics, Vicious hair 13, and Studio 13 Salon.

Intro to Spooky Season
Storytime Minisode
Storyyyyyy Tiiime from the audience! Have you ever made a BFF at a beauty school and thought "wouldn't it be sooo cool to open up a shop with my new bff that I made at beauty school because we both just love to do beauty stuff and we get along so great right now?" said no one ever!
9/10 times the friendship ends up on bad terms, someone always will go more above and beyond, one of you will have business booming and one will start to be a hater and have resentment.. so our advice is just don't. We are begging you to open a spot on your own and be financially and business ready!

Getting dumped, fav apps, & getting faster! 💖
Have you ever been dumped? NOT by a partner- because who gives a fu%k. When you get dumped by a client, straight up heart break. But there's a way to not let your ego get in the way and remembering that sometimes it's not you, it's them. Mayra was politely broken up by her client. Listen in to hear why and how she took it. If you are ever lost in where to start with social media, let us guide you on what social media apps can help you. AI helps with difficult responses and Canva is a salon favorite that helps us all have a cute aesthetic! 🎶"work it harder, make it better, do it faster, makes us stronger" - an anthem. If you ever wonder why certain projects take you so damn long, we have some pointers on what you can do to fix that. It's as easy as shutting the hell up sometimes, maybe being prepared for your clients and researching certain product that will help you be efficient!

Imposter Syndrome Baddies - Minisode
Imposter's syndrome is when you doubt your skills, talents, or accomplishments and have internalized fear of being exposed as a fraud. Unfortunately- it happens to the best of us. Doubt will creep up when you least expect it or even when you think you deserve to have that doubt over mistakes and convince you that you are a FAKE because you are so "horrible" at you are job! We talk about how our internal dialogue affects us and what we can do to overcome those small bumps on the road. Join Dr.Cory and have a therapy session with Mayra over her recent experiences. Burnout can look like a lack of interest in the things you enjoy and possibly could have you searching for a new job in that moment of weakness. This topic isn't talked about enough, but we ain't scared to share our struggles. If you ever struggled with any of these two fugly words- YOU ARE NOT ALONE! and we refuse to let you doubt yourself! pick yourself up and remember who's the BOSS ASS BITCH!
Spooky Season Throwback 🎃
👻 Spooky season episode!
As a new business owners we tend to just want to get things done quickly when there’s a deadline without taking into consideration how important it is to do your research on contractors to get things done correctly. Everyone makes mistakes, but as a good business owner it is our responsibility to take ownership of our mistakes to maintain our reputation and most importantly for our client to always leave happy. 🙅♀️P.s DO NOT mix business with pleasure aka always pay full price for services! (especially when hiring a friend) With episode 2 being around Halloween we discussed preparing for the holidays - by giving our loyal clients low cost gifts / coupons that won’t be too hard on business owners wallets but showing gratitude towards our clients that continue to do business with us.
Thank you for listening - love you - I don’t.
