Rich Stylist Podcast with Ashley Diana

Hillari is a great example of a stylist who already doing excellent prior to becoming a part of Rich Stylist. She took it the next level, and has been able to add multiple thousands of dollars year to her personal income, be a part of a Hollywood photoshoot, and create leverage and passive income in her salon.

We often hear in the industry things like “work less and make more money”, which is great, but what if you don’t actually want to work less? What if you want to work the same amount of days, but double your income by having a fully booked team with you that you are able to support with overflow of hair extension clients?

In this business, you get to design your life your way! I can’t wait for you to hear her story directly from Hillari.

Have you ever lost your passion or lost your spark? Did you ever wonder where it went or even how is started fading? Has there ever been a time when you just ‘hoped’ that things would get better (whether that’s in your personal life or in your biz), but you didn’t know exactly what to do to make it better?

If this resonates with you, you will love this episode where I chat with Stephanie Iorfida. Stephanie is a hair extension specialist in Rhode Island, and is a beloved member of Rich Stylist Academy. Last year when she first started with Rich Stylist Academy I could see it in her eyes that she was feeling stuck and she had lost her spark. I soon discovered that she had been stuck for YEARS and had been waiting for something to miraculously get better. We had an incredible coaching call together, and we both left filling inspired and fulfilled.

Here is what I know, as Tony Robbins says, for things to change you have to change & for things to get better YOU have to get better. That is exactly what Stephanie did. She stopped wishing & hoping her business would get better and instead invested in herself, took ACTION, and made it better for herself! The business she has today, the way she feels about herself and her business is night & day compared to how it was before. I am so grateful and proud to have been a part of her story and most importantly to call her a friend.

Get ready to be inspired and excited and inspired for what is possible for YOU too.

I’m chatting with Dannielle Vizzini today! Let me give you a heads up. This episode is FIRE 🔥

Danielle is an ultra successful hairstylist and hair extensionist located in Florida. We talk about what life and business was like for Dannielle before being a part of Rich Stylist academy, and the magic that she has created in her life.

This episode shares that no matter where you are in your life & biz, there is always a next level. We can always continue to strive to grow and become the next best version of ourselves. There are no limits.

What I’ve seen from Dannielle is that she has never let fear stop her. She stands really strong in the vision she has for herself and because of that has not only the business she has always dreamed of, but also has the freedom lifestyle that she always wanted.

The best part of this conversation isn’t just the money that Dannielle is making (although it's next level epic!), it’s the person she has been able to become in the process, and the confidence she has to show up in the world as herself.

She has full book of clients who love her. She isn’t overworked and stressed. She has her TIME back. She has fulfilling relationships. She has a fabulous assistant, she has balance, and it just keeps getting better.

Welcome to Rich Stylist Podcast! In this episode I chat with Liza Edwards @lizaloveshair

Liza is a hairstylist entrepreneur, a 17 year Great Lengths hair extensionist, and creator of the Xtensionistas Strand Stand which makes applying extensions faster and more efficient. 

Liza has a fully booked hair extension business now, she works on her terms, she is a fabulous mom of 3, and she is about to be your new hair bestie!

Show Notes:

In this episode of the Rich Stylist Podcast, I am speaking with Destiny Jackson, a stylist and hair extension specialist in Charlotte, NC.

I really think that Destiny’s business and lifestyle will resonate with you. I’d call it a family first approach. She really prioritizes time, experiences and freedom with her family AND is able to support that with the income she makes doing high end extensions just a few days a week in the salon.

Show Notes:

Michele is a hairstylist of 35 years, she is a salon and boutique owner in Albuquerque NM, a Swarzkopf educator and is now officially launching her luxury hair extension business.

Michele is a stylist who goes all in on anything she sets her mind to. Go big or go home is the definition of Michele, and I LOVE it. Hair extensions are in the spotlight for Michele now, and she has rolled out an exceptional business plan, client experience, and her attention to detail is next to none.

Often we have limiting beliefs about ourselves and what we are capable of doing & achieving in our lifetime. Have you ever said “well I’m too young or too old to do that?” Or “that kind of thing isn’t for people like me” or maybe you’ve said something like “I’m not good at learning new things”

All of that is a lie you keep telling yourself, and it is a block that is holding you back from all the things you actually could have and achieve.

Michele is someone who does not let limiting thoughts hold her back! She is the definition of "age is just a number." She isn’t afraid even at 35 years into her business, to reinvent her services, her pricing, and her client experience.

Michele really understands that the way to create ultimate freedom via time & money is through hair extensions. Michele has been super successful for years, she’s been fully booked, she’s traveled as an educator, she has owned her salon, but now at this point in her career she knew she wanted to niche down and not work with 8, 9, 10, 12 clients a day, but instead give her attention to fewer clients with ultra high end, luxury hair extensions.

Creating freedom through hair extensions is what is possible here. We often say we want more money, but what we really want is time. You can offer different services, charge more for your time, which ultimately helps you make more money in less amount of time, which opens up your time so you can live the life & do and experience the things you really want.

Hair extensions give you limitless opportunity to create the business and have the lifestyle you desire. Michele and I are going to talk all about this & her story now.

I remember when Kali first joined Rich Stylist Academy, she was so enthusiastic about on her dream of doing hair in Hollywood and working with Influencer + Celeb clients!

Kali gives some great advice in this episode! "Be comfortable with being uncomfortable." Typically what you are most fearful of is the thing that will push you towards your greatness. If you think about some of the most exciting times in your life, whether that’s professionally or personally, they were most likely times when you felt uncomfortable with the unknown. What Kali has done is she’s trained her brain to recognize discomfort as a sign that something great is about to happen on the other side.

And with that mindset, even at the very early stages of her career, Kali has made huge strides which is not only attracting her dream opportunities, but also has her making $10,000+ months.

Enjoy this session with Rich Stylist Academy member, Kali Krepline and prepare to be inspired and motivated immediately.

Show Notes:

Show Notes:

Hey Hair Pro! Let's get to know each other. In this episode, I share a bit about my backstory, how I can help you and the kind of stylist I work well with.

Do you want to become the highest paid extension specialist in your city?

Hair Extensions are the highest ticket item in any salon, but so few stylists feel confident to offer them at a premium price.

Certifications are lacking ongoing support and the mentorship essential to continued success.

Rich Stylist was created for stylists like you to discover the technical, marketing & business skills to make you truly RICH.

This podcast shares insights, action steps and success stories from myself & some of the most successful extension specialists in our industry.

I’m Ashley Diana, founder of Rich Stylist Academy and I’ll be your guide as you begin to attract your dream clients, create amazing transformations and make the money you’re worth!

Welcome… to the Rich Stylist Podcast!
